AWAKE At LAST
FRENCH MAKE BIG HOLES IN
LINES OF THE
TEUToNs.
$4,000 AND 8 GUNS TAKEN
Determined Onslaught Takes Them
Three Miles Into Enemy's Lines
over a Front Of About
Twenty Miles.

London.-The British and French
armies have taken several large nib
bles" out OF the German lines between
Nerdun and the Belgian coast, captur
ing in the process trenches along a
front Of about twenty miles ana just
under 1900 prisoners. eight guns and
a number Of machine guns.
At the same time British warships
and French and Belgian batteries heav.
ily bombarded the German positions on
the coast between Zeebrugge and Nieu-
port
Largest Gains Since Battle Of Marine.
The French. who have the most i'm.
portant gain to their credit. made their
chief crset around Perthes. Beausejour
and Suippes in Champagne. where in
December they made a considerable
eain Of ground This last attack. how.
ever, backed oy a tremendous artillery
fire gave them posses sion OF more ter.
ritory than they had retaken from the
Germans since the later dug them
selves in after the Dattie OF the Marne.
According to tho French account the
Germans We're driven out Of their
trenches ove' front Of fifteen miles,
varying in d,Utr fro-' 'ps-thirds Of a
mile to two and half miles. The
French in this engagement captured
l2,o00 prisoners. Apparently the ad.
vantage is being pressed still further
as the French communication makes
the briefest mention OF the operations.
The importance OF this gain lies in
the fact that every yard Of ground
taken in this region weakens the Ger
man position around Verdun from
which the Germans might be compelled
TO retire should the French succeed
in making any further advance.
Advances Near souehez and Arras
The French also have regained the
cemetery OF Souchez and trenches east
OF the labyrinth in the Arras district
which was the scene OF much heavy
fghting early in the year. There the
Germans had built what they consid.
cred almost impregnable fortifcations.
This attack was made in co-opera.
tion with the British. who attacked on
either side OF Labassee canal. The at
tack south OF the canal was. Field Mar.
shal Sir John French reports, a COM
plete success. Trenches five miles
in length and about 1000 yards in
depth were taken at this point.
This push forward gives the British
possession Of the road from Lens to
Labassee, which was used by the Ger
mans for moving troops and supplies
north and south and threatens TO out
iiank the German troops which hold the
town OF Lens.
