From the Battle Front, Oct. IL
notable advance by the allies oc-
CURED to-day near the centre of the

German flag was taken in a
charge. Lassigny forms an angle of
the allies line, which from there
turns almost directly north. The
Germans are holding their ground
tenaciously at this place, where they
have considerable number Of big
guns in strong position in the quar-
ries.
The French aviators, who are per-
forming brilliant work along the
front, indicated the approach Of the
Germans, who, when attacked offered
long and fierce resistance, but
eventually surrendered.
The allies commanders regard
their position on the western wing
and the centre as improving daily and
are thorou ghly satisfied with the pro-
gress being made.
On the eastern wing the German
bombardment of the French positions
continues without interruption and
much material damage is being done.
