 "The British commander resolved on Friday to clear the vinage by taking the principal support of the second line German offense, made up of series of small works extending from Bapaume road to that of Thiepval, on a front of about three kilometers.
 ''The bombardment began about day break and continued unceasing until night. It destroyed the defenses, lev eled entrenchments and rendered shel ters uninhabitable. At II o'clock at night the work of artillery being suf- ficient. the order to attack was passed along to the units grouped in the vil- lage of Pozieres. While the Surrey and Kent troops pushed on in an assault against the position on the Bapaume road. which were taken in less than half an hour, the Australians, with Sussex regiments at their left, cap tured, without striking a blow. six lines of trenches northwest of Po- zieres They carrieu also large work situated at the intersection of the Thiepval and Moquet roads and continued their victorious progress east of Leipsic redoubt in the direction of Thiepval.

 The Russians by no means have lost control of the initiative. but another wave of most energetic German resist ance has set in and the newly organ ized German army. which is composed of all the available reserves and fresh recruits, has undertaken the task Of changing it's tactics from passive re- sistence to a most extensive counter offensive. Field Marshal von Hin denburgs personal direction of the op- erations in this field is quite apparent, but it is not thought possible by the Russian observers that he can more than temporarily check the advance of the Russian forces upon Novel.

 The British troops advanced through entrenchments which had been com pletely destroyed and machine guns and defenders buried, and at certain points not the slightest resistance was encountered.
 The Germans moreover seemed to have been taken by surprise by this attack on which they had evidently not counted at so early a date. De- cided hesitation was observed in the directions of the German commander which resulted in delaying the bringing up of considerable endorsements. It was more than four hours after the British had attained their objective that counter attacks occurred and these were easily repulsed
