substantial progress to-day. Concen-
trating their forces in the Monfslcone
district and in the southern section OF
the Doberdo Plateau, they swept Tor

the whole of the dominating position
of Hill SIS and bagged $500 prisoners.
The fact that this is the largest haul
made by either side in several weeks
indicates the strength with which the
Italians are pressing their offensive
in this region.

along the front and at the edge Of the
ridge, it is important 10 note that the
British have now flowed over the only
natural barrier, they are fairly on the
downhill slope toward Bapaume, they
have acquired direct vision, of great ad-
vantage for their artillery. Also they
have now before them no such cluster
Of little villages as faced them at the
outset. Courcelette. Msrtinpuich and
Flers. which are in their immediate
front, are widely separated, and to the
north as far as Bapaume there are only
two or three small and scattered settle
ments.
So far as one can judge by the map
and reckon from the character of the
country, the British have passed the
worst Of their obstacles, and there is
good reason TO believe that their ad-
vance toward Bapaume will now ma
terially increase its pace. All this is a
long way from the fatal cheeks follow
ing promptly upon the opening sue
cesses at Neuve Chapelle and Loos and
demonstrates the progress the British
army has made in the last ten months.
And it is worth recalling now that the
failure of the French 70 get over the
Vimy ridge, north Of Arras, in June,
1918, finally terminated their advance
toward Lens. This Vimy ridge was
much lower than that Of Albert, its
highest hill being but 100 metres.
