WAR SU MMARy

The entire second position of the Germans south of the Somme over an extent of approximately six miles. has fallen into the hands of the French who have captured the village of Hem. near the northern extremity of their line, and have completed their con- quest of Estrees.
 The British line has apparently fail ed to advance except slightly in cer- tain sections, as the British war of fee puts it. None of the ground gained by the British has been lost, however, and the further statement of the British that the fighting all along the battle front was mostly in the nature of local struggles for the pos session of strong points would seem to indicate that each side is devoting particular attention to the organiza- tion of it's positions and the strength ening of it's hand. for further attacks or defense.
 Allies Capture 16,o00.
 The number of German prisoners reported by the British and French has reached about 16,O00 while the German casualties have been unoffi- cially estimated at 60.000. On their
