BATTLE MAY BE DECISIVE ONE,

to ascertain how far the general at
tack has brought the enemy"
The Cologne Eolkszeitung refers to
the difficulty of holding the foremost
German trenches in the face of the
enormous energy of the attack, but
notes that the attacking forces have
not yet succeeded in piercing the Ger
man front.
Although Germany confronts the
coming battle with confidence, says
this newspaper. nevertheless the mo-
ment is without doubt fraught with
significance and is perhaps decisive

Germans on the Alert.
For a month past the Germans have
been on the alert around the Somme
and orders had been given in secret
circular to construct special intrench-
ments. Saps had everywhere been push
ed to within twenty-five yards of the
French barbed wire, and numerous pas
sages were cut in the German wire en-
tanglements to enable their patrols to
spy out every suspicious movement on
the part of the French.
Extra shelters had been dug thirty
feet behind the trenches so that the
men could get into the trenches more
quickly when the French lombard
ment ceased. Exits were made in the
rear of these shelters. Numerous
listening saps were made in such a
manner as not to interfere with either
frontal or f1anking fire from the
trenches. Woods. whenever well placed

was perhaps the bloodiest fighting Of
the whole British advance. The con-
duct of the Usher troops received this
tribute in one account: They acquitted
thepselves magnificently and their
work has received the generous testi-
mony. not only from higher officers of
corps, but. what perhaps counts even
more, from troops engaged on their
immediate left"
The work of the Lancashire clerks at
Montauban is described as follows by
the correspondent of the Daily Mail:
Went Into Battle Gayly.
Merit is not to be judged only by
success and nobody wishes to compare
or contrast merits. Everywhere the in
fantry fought finely, but all England
will rejoice to. hear that one of the
farthest points of advance was reach
ed and the most violent counter at
Lancashire clerks.
They were comparatively new
troops. men who had little or no ex-
perience either of country life or of ply
steal work, but they fought like regu-
lars with dash, infinite grit endur-
ance and, moreover, gayety What a
sight it must have been to see those
clerks drive the enemy from his COM
handing hill and crucial position,
The troops at their flank who fought
with them and made good their great
advance were farmers boys from half a
dozen midland counties, Town and
country, office and field shook hands
in that great fight and various ex-
tremes of English life and blood
proved their equality as notably as at
Agincourt or Waterloo"
Praise for German Valor.
Stories from British headquarters

who are fighting with desperate te-
nacity and valor.
German resourcefulness is also dis
played in numerous devices invented
to prevent or delay the allies advance.
All accounts agree that the Ger
mans placed the greatest confidence
in their machine guns and made, every
effort to protect them from the effect
of the preliminary bombardment.
The Express correspondent says:
thick of the fighting agree that the
machine gun is the bugbear of any
advance against enemy positions. They
say the German machine gunner dies,
but never surrenders. He is content to
remain behind after all his comrades
have left. in order to pour forth a
deadly hail of bullets. and never throws
up his hands.
Up to the present we have captured
very few guns This isAone of the
signs that the Germans expected US.
They have been very busy for several
days moving their artillery farther
back"

BERLIN, July 3. via London. July A.
On the basis of information received
by the Associated Press here the first
results of the long-heralded entente
offensive may be summarized as fol-
lows:
No noteworthy successes have been
considerable results have been attained
by the French, whose offensive. as
usual was marked by great bravery
and dash. Retirement to the second
German lines occurred where the
French were the opponents
In coincidence with the Anglo
French offensive the Russians have de-
veioped activity along the whole north
crn front. Their activity against the
northern German armies for the time
being appears merely demonstra tive
but vigorous fighting is in progress
against the front of Gen. Woyrsch's
southern army, where at least eight di-
visions are engaged. The battle here
is still stationary. with no decisive re-
suits in either direction
Front Trenches Uutenable.
The Berlin papers publish long dis
patches regarding the Anglo-F French
offensive from correspondents at field
headquarters. but these contain no par
ticular information. being for the most
part mere commentary on the official
report
The correspondents point out that the
offensive. as in the autumn, again was
launched from the junction point of the
Anglo French armies, which has moved
southwark since autumn and now is
between lGommetourt and the old
Roman road from Amiens to St Quen-
tin. The correspondent of the Post tele-
graphs:
The German line south of the Somme
had to retire somewhat after the front
trenches were SO damaged under a
weeks bombardment that they were
untenable. Included in the enemy's
gains are the destroyed villages of Fri
court Mametz. Boiselle. Herbecourt a nd
.asseyillers. The enemys attack at all
other points was halted before IL
reached the German intermediate posi-
tons. Hot fighting is in progress along
the entire front"
In conclusion the German authorities
fatty deny French claims If the recap
ture of Thiaumont redoubt, which the,.
declare is firmly in the possession Of
the Germans.

LONDON. July 4.-Some broad gen
eral criticisms on certain aspects of
the fighting in the first two days of
the allied offensive are emphasized in
later dispatches from correspondents
at headquarters
The British won in the south, where
it was most essential to win the first
dash. In the north they made less
progress and at some places in this
section, after the first advance, they
have fallen back on~their original po-
sitions. The situation in the north
remains obscure until the issue of the
struggle which is still continuing for
crucial positions in this extremely diff
ficult country, especially at Serre and
Thiepval.
continue to insist that their loss on
the whole is comparatively small They
suffered most from the German ma
chine guns and perhaps the automatic
rifles. The German system of defense
was everywhere the same.
Thirty Feet Under Ground.
They had enormously deep dusouts,
some of them thirty feet or more be-
meath the surface. such as are easily
dug in this hilly and chalky country.
The moment the bombardment lifted
the men in the dugouts emerged and
manned their machine guns before the
attackers had time to cross the inter-
vening space
In the actual fighting the British SOL
diers did not, as rule. advance at the
double-quick. Most charges We're made
at walk or a pace very nearly like
a walk.
new German war ruSe is described
in a Daily News dispatch, which says
that at one place a large number of
Germans came out of their dugouts
holding up their hands and waving
white flags. They were rounded-up and
left under guard. After the main body
of the British troops had gone on more
Germans poured out of their burrows.
outnumbered and overpowered the
guard, released the prisoners and
began attacking the British troops
from the rear.
Clerks Fight Like Veterans.
The British troops which stand out
most prominently in today's stories of
the fighting in Picardy are the Gordon
Highlanders, the Ulster division of
Irishmen. and the regiments at Mont
auban, recruited largely from the
clerks of the Lancashire towns.
The Gordon Highlanders suffered
heavy losses from machine gunf1re in
capturing Mametz, where occurred what

in order to give a uniform aspect and
to prevent aviators from spotting the
guns placed in the cellars. Finally all
the men were given four emergency
rations of bread AND coffee and $50
cartridges and two bombs. Each sec

Reserves Under Heavy Fire.
When the French attack began July
the Germans were so hard pressed
that they were obliged to fall back
cling there on account of the rnarshy
loop of the Somme. but the German
regiments holding that position were
so badly punished by the lombard
ment that the reserves were ordered
there. This order was received at l
o'clock in the morning. According to
a prisoner, they Immediately assembled
and in companies marched through
Peronne. One after another they
reached Biaches, Flaucourt and then
Herbecourt. Thence progress was diff
ficult
When they entered the communica-
ton trenches leading to Frise they
came under a terrible shell fire. which
caused heavy losses. and once or twice
a panic started and was with great
difficulty allayed by the officers.
Finally. toward : o'clock the rein
forcements. which already had suffer
ed severely, reached the trenches and
were posted between the second and
third positions behind Frise, where
they were subjected to a terrific bonn
bardment.
Buried in Their Shelters.
The men. crouching in shelters ten
feet below ground, could hear the ex-
plosions of the heavy French shells
their defense to powder, and
now and then one shell would tear
the roof of their shelter and
bury the occupants nder a mass of
earth and beams.
Three hours later the French infan-
try made a fresh attack upon Frise.
Its advance was so sudden that the
Germans lost their hold on their po-
sitions. The German officers ordered
two companies of reinforcements to ad-
vance along the Somme canal, where
they We're cut up by the French. Other
were sent to Frise and Me-
reaucourt wood to await events. but
in less than two hours the French oc-
cupied Frise and the whole German
line began to fall back, closely pressed
by the victorious French.
