DEATH IS CERTAIN
 ON THE FIRST LINE
EVERY GERMAN FACING BRITISH ASSAULT KNOWS HIS
 FATE.

LONDON Sept 5.--A correspond ent of the associated press gives the following to the Times today:
 Half Q million British have been en- gagged in an effort to break the Ger man lines on the Somme front. Often, as in the lighting on the Gommecourt and Hebutorne, the British outnum- bered the Germans six to one. They have gained ground to a depth of from three to five miles over front of about IS miles, but nowhere have been able to break through.
 More than ever death has become commonplace in this most murder GUS battle of all times. The Germans in lla first line know that they prob ably will be killed ii their positions are attacked. Trenches are virtually useless for the heavy British shells widen them into broad channels. af fording no cover of any sort The first line usully periashes.
 The advancing British foot troops are no better off, because the Ger mans reverse the process when part of their positions have been captured After the British artillery has leveled the German trenches the artillery rushes in, often to be thrown out again as soon as the British artillery ceases fire, which it has to do owing to the proximity of the opposing lines. Thus the battle has been going on for weeks. the opposing forces now gaining, at terrific cost, and then losing at even greater cost a few yards of trenches At present prac- tically all the fighting by the Brit ish is carried on from their Pozieres salient. where their drum fire is un- teasing day and night German of, fcers who were in the Champagne offensive. said no such rtillery fire ever had been developed previously.
