British, who also have captured All
the high ground between Combies ana

More than 1900 prisoners were cap
tured inc the drive. The statement
reads:

tually all the high ground between
Combles and the Pozieres-Bapauine
road.
Most of the Bouleaux wood, Flers'

"Over $500 prisoners already nave

British Front in France, via Lon
don. Sept. 1S-At> dawn the BRUSH
made the most powerful general at
tack, supported by the heaviest Voir
ume of shell fire, since that OF July l.
when the grand offensive began.
The attacking front extends over
six miles, from the region of IhlepVal
to the junction with the French army
on the right, or practically the entire
line of the British advance of the last
ten weeks.
Having gained the whole ridge from
the east of Thiepval through Glnchy
and all the old German second line
Notifications, the British made their
next step, broad stride down the
HILL piercing the newly constructed
German third line.
The sweep forward during the AFTER
noon gained the village OF tlers,
brought the British to the edge OF
Martinpuich, and put the bloody
shambles of High wood and Devlls
wood. for which two most determined
counter-attacks made the hardest
struggle in the history of the British
army, we'll behind the advancing ranks
of khaki.
The British also are close to the vii
lage of Courcelette. They have taken
"Wunder Werk" redoubt, in the Thlep-
val region, which belonged to the OLD
first line of Notifications. The Germans
had aimed to make it impenetrable.
East of Devils wood the Germans
continue to make desperate resistance.
North of the Somme the French cap
tured series of Arman trenches and
advanced as far as the village Of Ran
court.
Aside from their increased artillery
fire in the great new drive on the
Somme the British brought into action
for the first time new type of arm
ored motorcar, capable because of its
powerful traction of crossing trenches
and shell craters. For some days the
army had watched it with interest and
curiosity, and as it moved along In
support of the infantry in their charges
they cheered it, even in the midst OF
shell fire.
There has been nothing more Won
derful, even in this war, than the
spectacle of it's advance toward the
German line.
