On account of tho expected spring dolugo, both sides fight desperately for any raised ground which will be Jn Island or a promontory in tho coming floods. An elevation of a few feet Is worth the sacrifice of hundreds of men. Never before has there been such heavy artillery fire upon the northern , front. Hundreds of guns of all calibers cali-bers keep up a roll all day. Tho Germans sent out fresh reserves re-serves with orders either to take the trenches or to die.
