The British advance reported In to- day's onicial despatches apparently constitutes the second phase of the great Anglo-French offersive in the tseighborhood of the Bomme river which began on July 1 over a front of something more than 20 miles. The first phase of this offensive carried the British forward to and gave them possession of Contalmaisoh and Mon- tauban but the French on their right moved their lines further forward.
 The reported capture of Longueval and. ,Bezantin-Le-Grand indicates that the British, in, today's assault advance ed eastward northward from Contal- maieon or Montauban and that they apparently have brought their right wing on a par with the French left and are thrusting a salient between Peronne, the immediate French oo- jective and Bapaume, the point at which the British movement is report ed to be directed.
 Longueval is about three and q half miles east of Contamination and Be- zantin-Le-Grand is midway between those towns.
 While it is expected the British would not allow any great length of time to elapse before continuing their operations, it was hardly believed the second German line would be attacked after one day of artillery preparation; for 1t was only on the day before yes terday that they completed capture or the first line in the region between Hardecourt and Ovillers.
 The direction of the attack, too, was something of a surprise, for instead or pushing on toward Coubles, General Haig chose to attack the flank of the Germans who faced Contalmaison and Ovillers and those who still occupy PoissierS.
 News of the British success has giv- en added weight here to the request of the government worhmep to forego the August holidays so that the army may be kept we'll supplied with muni- tions. The supplies already on hand must be greater than was generally believed, else General Haig would not have been able to continue his offen- sfve without an intermission. There was no news this mdrning of impor- tant developments on the remainder of the western front but at last ac- counts the French were preparing to resume their offensive south of the Somme. while the Germans were still at the defenses of Verdun.
 The opinion is held in France. .fhow- ever, that continuation of the Somme battle will >compel the Germans to slacken their efforts at Verdun. which now have been in progress nearly five months. especially as the French estimate the Germans lost 12,000 men in counter-attacks on Contamination.
 Tho Russians made no noticeable advance on any part of their front since they gained the Stokhod river where the struggle continues desper.

The troops marched through King William street to the richest place in the world, that between Mansion house. the bank and the stock exchange" Round the bank the troops saw an angry mob camoriug for money.
