Heavy Allied shelling bloke 11b preparations iorr an enemy attack on lines west ut Cisterlla, on the right iiank of me beachhead front. The Germans appeared still to be so dlsoiganized from the beating they ran into last week that for the third day mcy did not attack in force at any point.

It claimed more than 400 Allied pri- soners had been taken. ‘Ihere has been no mention of any such en- circlemellt of Allied troops from any Allied source.
