Some Of Fiercest Fighting
Of The War

PARIS. July 3, 6 p. m.-The
third day of the battle Of tho
Somme shows that the Franco
British lines have been further ad.
vanced, with the French right
sweeping to the eastward, south
of the Somme. A group Of strate-
eic villages, large number OF
German prisoners and heavy guns
have been taken.
The advanced French lines are
now only three miles from the inn

rome, the defense OF which has
been greatly weakened by the cap
ture by the French on Sunday of
Mereaucourt Woods. south Of the
Somme, and between Feullleres
and Frise. This was the strong
est fortified position Of the Ger
man second line Of defense on the
entire front Of the attack, but the
French division which too Frise
continued to advance with such
impetus that the Germans were
unable TO resist, even under the
protection Of this formidable work.
One of the fiercest struggles
was for the stone quarry. also very

a mile east Of Curiu. Here the Ger
mans tried to stem the tide by
desperate counter-attack, but the
French-American coIonials. one OF
the most celebrated corps OF the
French army, rushed the position
with such energy that the Ger
mans broke before the bayonet.
The French success at trise

of the Somme, thus avoiding ex-
