LOndon.--The following official state

Office:
"The First Army has made a sue

enemy's line over the greater part OF
a twO-mile front.
"The attack commenced at midnight
to the south Of Richebourg rAvoue,
where we carried two successive lines
Of German breastworks on front Of
800 yards. A mile farther to the south
another attack at dawn carried 1900
yards Of German front-line trenches
and was pushed rapidly on, extending
its success 500 yards farther south
by bombing along the German
trenches. Here we crossed the Festu
bert-Quinque road and advanced nearly
a mile into the German lines"

then the solemnity of death settled
over the room.
The soft footballs overhead ceased.
The long hush had brought the two
women to the door where they stood
sobbing. Oliver was on his knees be-

arms. On the face so near him there
rested a ray from the westering sum-.
but the glitter was gone from the eye
and the unrest from the heart No
more weary vigils In q room dedi-
Gated to remose and self-punishment
No more weary circling OF the house
In the dark lane whose fences barred
out the hurrying figure within from
