Germans concentrated ammunition.
Early this morning more guns were
brought into action on this twenty
mile sector and for an hour and a
half the Germans were subjected to a
bombardment which is described as
the fercest experienced in this war OF
heavy artillery.
News Causes Excitement.
The news of the Drisisn offensive,
which was quickly circulated in Lon
don, created the greatest enthusiasm
and details of the battles are being
anxiously awaited Only this morn
ing the correspondent at the front for
British newspapers, while writing OF
the British artillery and raiding sue
cesses, warned the public that an ad-
vance must be made by infantry and
not by artillery and that the Brit
ish army could not expect to come
out of the engagement scathless. First
accounts of the battle, however, state
that the British casualties were not
heavy.
The news spread throughout Lon
don like wildfre. There was fran
tic rush to obtain special editions OF
the evening newspapers.
Along the Strand and other thor
oughfares there was turmoil Of ex-
element. From the tops of busses.
passengers cheered the tiding. Men
and women In little groups scanned
the special editions; then broke out
in cheers Of joy.
From SOmme Past Albert.
The portion of the lines selected
by the British for the Inauguration
of the drives runs from the Somme
northward past Albert to a point
about eight miles south of Arras. 1t
is on the section of the western front
which runs roughly north and south
from the North sea through Belgium
and northern France before it swings
sharply to the south and on the
Swiss border. Albert is seventy miles
northeast of Paris.
There has been much heavy fight
ing over this ground but not to the
extent of that further north where
lies the battlefields Of Arras, Loos'
Neuve, Chappelle, Ypres and Dix
nude.
During the early stages Of the
battle of Verdun when the French
were compelled to bring up large re-
serves to meet the German drive the
British took over long section OF
French trenches and now hold about
ninety miles of the western front
What remains of the Belgian army Is
in the trenches from the North sea
to a point near Lizerne about sixty
miles northeast Of Ypres. The Brit
ish army under General Sir Douglas
Halg holds the line from the junction
with the Belgians as far as the
Somme.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, July 1.-Reports received
from the front up to 1890 o'clock,
five hours after the combined British
and French offensive was launched,
showed that the Allies had captured
the towns of LaBoiselle, Serre and
MontNuban and Curlu and Faviere
woods. The main first line of trench
es over the entire front under attack
are reported to have been Stormed
and at various points the fighting has
reached the main second line. These
reports show that the French and
British at the point of their farthest
advances have broken through dis
lance of more than five miles beyond
the first German trenches. Mantau-
ban is five and one-half miles east OF
the old British front and Curlu wood
is six miles east and southeast OF AL
bert,
The British are endeavoring to
surround ThiepvaI and Mt other
points an intense struggle Is under
way for towns and VILLAGES. Reports
from the front indicate that the I'M
portant German position at Frtcolrt
may be cut off.
At this hour (1:15 p. n.y. the Brit
ish are making good prOgrass behind
the front lines in German held terri
tory. serre and NIontauban, which
the British have captured, are import
ont tactical points. Serre Is SOUTH
east of Hebuterne and Montauban is
northeast of Bray. The British are
fighting for the villages of Mametz
and Contalmauson, portions of which
they hold.
The British are fighting gallantly
ana have taken many prisoners in the
front line.
The French advancing on the Brit
ish right are moving with great stead
mess. After the assault they very
quickly covered n distance of two
kilOmeters beyond. the German front
line. Thus far the day has gone well
for France and England.
The number of Germans opposite
the British front and in reserve be-
hind the line was estimated a month
ago at 100000.

LONDON, July AFTER weeks Of
intense bombardment with guns OF
every caliber firing a million shells
daily, the British early this morning
launched general offensive against
The German lines along front Of
twenty miles north of the river
Somme. They succeeded in taking
the German front line trenches and
capturing many men.
The rench on the British right CO.
operated in the attack. When the
last dispatches received thus far left
British headquarters fighting was
still progressing and further sue
Cesses. it was reported, were being
recorded.
Long Planned.
The front selected for the British
offensive was decided on many
months ago and the bombardment OF
the lines as well as the frequent
raids which procured important in
formation as to the disposition of the
Germans was designed to keep the
German generals uncertain as to the
point at which they would be called
upon to meet the brunt Of the ac-
lack.
This is the first time since the out
break Of the war that the intention
of an army to undertake an offensive
has been SC we'll advertised. A week
ago when the German attacks against
Verdun began to make further head
way and 1t was feared the army Of
the crown prince was getting within
a distance of Yerdun which was dan
gerous for the Allies, the British
guns began to speak. Since then eX-
rept for the hour when British in
tantrymGn were raiding German
trenches u continual bombardment
has been maintained.
Defenses Smashed.
Batteries which are now innumer-
able took turns at smashing the Ger
ran defenses, destroying communl-
cation trenches and blowing up am
nlunitlon depots. New trench NOR
lars particularly destructive tore
away wire entanglements, broke
down parapets and generally opened
the way for men with rifles and bay
Dnets. Big guns of fifteen inches and
other large calibers prevented the
Germans from bringing UP support,
wrecking everything within range.
The artillery FIRE was particularly
Intense on stretch of the front north
