London, Sept 26.-Twenty thousand
unwounded German prisoners and
dead and wounded on both sides in
numbers of which as yet there is no
estimate, is the toll taken in the first
two days drive of the Anglo-French
forces. who have begun great often.
sive movement against the German
entertainments along the line of the
western war zone, which extends from
the North sea to the Swiss frontier.
Two distinctive operations are un-
der way, one to the north of Arras and
the other in the Champagne region.
while there has been an incessant
bombardment along almost the entire
front.
Both the British and French have
been successful, carrying trenches ex-
tending over distance of twenty
miles and depth varying up to two
and half miles. 1t is reported off
cially both from Paris and London
that the advance still is being con-
tinued, the ground gained having in
large measure been held and con.
solidated.
The Berlin war office admits the re-
tirement OF the German forces at va
rious points. but minimizes the result
of the engagements.
For several weeks British and
French artillery have been pounding
fiercely and continuously at the Ger
man line. The forward movement of
the infantry began Saturday morning,
when thousands of allied troops threw
themselves against the German
trenches, In which. though battered
and torn by heavy shells. the Ger.
mans waited. having long expected the
onslaught. Much OF the fighting was
at close range. hand.to.hand encoun-
ters being carried from trench to
trench.
The heavy artillery continued to
pour forth rain OF heavy projectiles.
while aviators took the air to direct
the firing and themselves engaged in
many combats.
