Way for French Drive
South of Somme Opened
By FRED B. PITNEY.

Paris, Sept. The French have
cleared the way for the extension Of
their offensive south Of the Somme.
While their artillery north Of the
river was busy preparing the German
trenches for further assault infantry
south Of the river gave another squeeze
TO the pincers that arc rapidly closing
on the German positions.
The principal attack is against Berry
on-Santerre, which IS an extremely
important village. Situated on the
flank OF the hin thai dominates Bar
leuX, It protects the little plateau Of
Nlliers- Carbonnel. where the Germans
have masseC large collections of heavy
batteries. Beruy-en-Santerre, three
kilometres from Nillers- Carbonnel and
four and four-hfths kilometres from the
Somme, is al the head Of a system Of
deep ravInes leading 70 the Somme and
turning on southwark 20 the German
gun positions. An advance by the French
IL thiS direction would be disastrous
for tn Germans. a. 10 would make 10
extremely difficult for them 20 with
draw their big guns. In addition, the
advance on Berny-en -Santerre greatly
Helps troops attacking Deniecourt. The
latter village IS now three-fourths sur
rounded by the French.
Another important work Of the
French was the advance on Chaulnes
from the south. Two railroads run into
Chaulnes. one from the north. the
other from the east, and the Germans
have established there a large NUM-
TONS depot near an old sugar mill
= he French yesterday sweeping out Of
Chilly and Lihons, carried their lines
right up TO the north and south rail
way and within 200 Yards Of Hallu and
800 yards Of the munitions depot. The
French now have under their fire not
only the munitions depot but all roads
for bringing up fresh supplies 70 al
trat eecfInn Of the Gnrman lines
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-08

Then, bringing UP their heavy guns,
they set the town on fire.
To the large number Of prisoners
which the renewed offensive already
has brought into the Russian net
Tcherbatcheff added 5000 in this
fighting. The Austrians are making
valiant efforts 20 check the advance,
and this accounts IN large part for
the heavy loss in prisoners. They
are clinging 20 their positions until q
retreat becomes inevitable.
Teutons Admit Losses.
Both Berlin and Vienna admit the
loss Of territory in the Halicz sector.
They concedc that the TeUton lines
were forced 20 fall back IN the region
between the Zlota Lipa and the Dnies-
ter. They tell Of furious attacks by
the RUSSIANS. who evidently have
brought very large forces to bear on
the line south of Lemberg.
Halicz seems doomed. The constant
Smelling Of the town has cleared the
road for the next thrust forward, and
the Russians, having forced passage
way over the Gnita Lipa, are ready to
strike.
Further north. along the Brody-
Lemberg and the Tarnopol-Lemberg
railways. the Cars troops are nearer
20 the Galician capital than they are
In the Halcz sector. But heavy Ger
man forces are guarding this line,
while further south the Austrians are
manning the defences. The Russians
prefer TO pit their strength against
the Austrians.
Turning Lemberg's Flank.
The Russian plan aims to take Lem
berg by turning its flank and so
making Il uutenable. Having taken
Brody. the Cars forces would move
on Stryj. lying almost directly south
of Lemberg. and then endeavor 20
push still further west, turning the
Austrians out Of the Galician capital
and at the same time cutting impor-
tant railroad lines.

Retreat Would Be Costly.

Such retreat probably would leave
many prisoners and guns in the hands
Of the Allies for their pressure on the
German lines has never relaxed since
July /. The Entente front has been
drawn so tight that 1t can be compared
TO rubber band, although some OF its
rCsiliency has been lost through long
stretching. Important events are ex-
pected IN the West in the next few
weeks.
Leuze Wood and the Hospital Farm.
east OF Maurepas are the points where
the Germans elected TO make their
chief counter attacks. After pounding
the British with gas shells they ad-
vanced in the night, but General Haig's
men IN a hand-to-hand combat, stood
their ground.

London, Sept. German counter
attacks on both banks OF the Somme.

day, have spent themselves. After a
night of furious assaults, the Kaiser's
troops made no effort 10 charge to-day.
The French curtains Of FIRE precluded
any such attempt.
The Allied armies are ready for a

French made small gains to-day, but
the next thrust will be directed at
