British Front in France, Sept. To-
Army officers universally are speak
ing of Friday as the best day for the
British arms since, the offensive be-
gan on the Somme front With the
exception of July l. the attack begun
yesterday morning was the most ex-
tensive in the ten weeks Of the battle.
For the first time new armored motor
cars Of ingenious pattern, suitable for
crossing trenches and shell holes, COM

swept down toward the Bapaume. At

the heaviest orgy of shell fire in the
history Of warfare, as German
wrestled with Briton, not for a piece
of farm land, but for military and
human mastery.
Attack Surprises Germans.
The British push yesterday was
largely down hill. They put behind
them the high ground whose slopes
give them shelter for their guns and
whose crests give them observation for
their artillery FIRE. Evidently the Ger
mans did not expect the attack, con-
sidering the drive was over and that
the British would settle down for the
winter.
Never before. probably, have. more
guns played over q single front than
along the six miles where the British
made their first advance on July l.. and
have continued to the present. The
Germans kept on bringing up guns un-
til now they have 1000 in this short
sector. The Associated Press CORE
