London, July 5.-The Anglo-French
forces have made further progress in
their great offensive and now hold
practically all the German second line
positions on a ten-mile curve from
Montauban to the village of Estreves.
south of the Somme.
The French war office announced
that the night passed with no impor
tant fighting on the French front, but
dispatches from British headquarters
reported that the British continued to
improve their positions north of the
Somme
The Germans have shifted large
bodies of reserves from the north to
the south bank of the Somme to de-
fend the railway town of Peronne
In an amazingly rapid series of ad-
vances the French under General
Foeh have captured several villages
held by the Germans and pushed their
advanced lines TO within three miles
of the village of Peronne.
In the seventy-two hours of fighting
the allies have wrested nearly fifty
miles of French territory from the
kaiser's hands.

How desperate is the fighting along
the British front was indicated in a
headquarters dispatch revealing for
hn hat he fch l.
ly captured the strongly fortified viii
lage of Thiepval, northeast of Albert,
but were afterward driven out. Dur
ing the fighting British detachment
entered the village and prepared to
fortify itself behind the ruined bits of
masonry. Late in the afternoon sew
eral hundred Germans suddenly clam
bored up from the cellars and laby-
rinths of the underground works of
the village, where they had remained
in concealment, and drove the Brit
ish out by a surprise attack. The Ger
mans still retain Thiepval
All indications are that the French
would achieve the first striking sue
cess of the offensive movement by
the capture of Peronne, unless Ger
man reinforcements check General
Foch's advance
The French forces south of the
Somme are fighting like DEMONS and
have fought their way through forti-
| fed villages and German positions of
great strength. With Peronne in the
hands of the French and the British
exerting pressure north the Germans
will face the greatest defensive prob
lem since the retirement from the
Marne.

They like it.
They have managed so well that
they have universal and complete
military training without any of these

their military system strengthens it.
They have great and efficient
army, but they have no officer caste
nor military class, no war worship
and no drum beating obsessions.
They love peace not less than any
other nation on earth, and they get it.
At the same time their military sys-
