German Announcement.

Berlin, Aug. 1S.-The official com
municotion issued to-day follotos:
Between Thicpval and the Somme
our Allied opponents yesterday, after
the previous restricted fighting. com
bined their whole forces in the OWL
lors-Pozieres sector in a united attack
along the entire front. The attack be-
tween Thiepval and Guillemont broke
down. with the heaviest losses TO the
enemy. Further south. as far as the
Scmme, it came to heavy hand to- hand
fighting with French forces, which at
tackled repeatedly. This fighting con,
tinued throughout the entire night, and
near Maurepas and TO the east of Hem
il is still in progress.
Directly south of the Somme the
French made an attack against Bfaches
which broke down completely under
our fire. On the remainder of the
front there were no developments OF
Importance.
North Of Vermelles, near Combres
and south of Lusse our patrols took
prisoners in the enemy's line. At sew
eral positions expeditions of enemy
recommending detachments were re-
pulsed.
A British biplane was shot down
southwest of Bapaume. The Emperor
has bestowed the Order Pour-le- Merite
upon Lieutenant Frank, who took part
in a successful aerial encounter south
of Bapaume on August 9.

German Third Line Taken

the correspondent adds. waiting impa-
tiently for the moment to rush 10 the
assault. Finally, as if obeying an or
der which had been heard simulta-
neously on the entire front, the batter
les suddenly ceased fire. The silence
which succeeded the great uproar last
ed only a few minutes. Several blows
on the whistle were given and orders
were passed along. The clanking OF
bayonets being adjusted could be heard.
A few seconds more and there was a
tumult of confused noises and shout
Of Forward!
Human forms surged from the black
holes, running madly forward. Inc
noise of the warning sirens of the ad-

chine guns told that the battle had
begun.

Raids Along Whole Line Pre-.

by Allies.
lRv Cnhle 10 Thc 1ri,nne |

London, Aug. 13.-lndcations that a
new general attack By the British
toward Bapaume is near came in the
news to-day that they had gained
from 800 to 400 yards on front of
nearly mile northwest of Pozieres
and that heavy fighting was going on
all along the line. They have also
pushed nearer to Martinpuich and the
French have gained on Hill 109.
Heavy German counter attacks
against both French and British
lasted all last night. One terrific drive
against the newly won French positions
in Maurepas was repulsed with heavy
loss only after a bitter struggle. Fol-
lowing it the French pushed forward
both in the village itself and on the
The British repulsed 6 drive near
Guillemont, and their artillery broke up
troops msssed for attack near PoZieres.
The British gains to-day take them
nearer Martinpuich and Courcelette,
key positions on the Bspaume road.
The German statement tells of heavy
attacks along this line. and also Of an
attack in the Guillemont sector.
Raids Presage New Drive.
Another Indication Of a coming re
ncwal of the big drive came in reports
Of heavy artillery actions at many
places along the front and in several
British raids on the German trenches.
SIMILAR pressure was exerted before
each previous attack. Last nights
raids were on the famous Vimy ridge,
opposite Calonne and east Of Armen-
there's. A German raid near the Hohen-
zoilern redoubt was repulsed.

of Saturday, the Allies now hold a
strong grip on the German third line
trenches. the point Of the wedge driven
in a week ago kaying been broadened
and deepened.. The greater part OF
Maurepas is now in French hands
while to the south they are in the out
skirts Of Clery. The Germans are now
menaced on both wings, trying TO hold
Clery and Combles. both of which are
pillars of their line.
The most encouraging feature Of the
Somme fighting, in the opinion of null
tary experts here, Is the evident ma
bility of the Germans, even by the
most ferocious artillery fire and the
most reckless sacrifices of the Kaiser's
crack infantry, TO move either the
French or the British from the posi-
tions they have gained.
1t is becoming clear that the Allies
can gain consistently, and that the Ger
mans cannot. The Germans have now
had ample time to strengthen their de-
fences and to bring up all the men
they can afford TO have on this front,
Still they are driven back, and stu
their counter-attacks fail. No one be-
lieves that they are yet anywhere near
ly beaten, but it is now felt that they
are definitely on the down grade.

German prisoners who have been. at

endured there; while at the different
munitions depots the piles Of shells
seem as plentiful as the day before the
grand offensive began. II has been a

They have had such an advantage OF

never had before, thanks to the pos

crowned by a windmill at the highest

by shelfire and it's stone base cracked

Incalculable and inconceivable is the
amount of she'll fire spent on this
ridge, whose irregular skyline is ever
changing as a result of the pummelling,
but the British keep their domination

Of fifty miles where wheel transport

AT the same time strong infantry
forces moved into the Majonga Valley

the map this way" snid a gunner, but
as a matter of bookkeeping in casual
ties the balance is all in our favor IL
softens things up for our infantry pc
fore they attack. II is as demoraiiI-
ing as continuous nightmare, and ex-
plains why the Germans can put no
more spirit into their counter attacks.
As some illustration Of the power OF
artillery fire when the shells are am
pie and the guns numerous, IL is esti-
mated that during this last week the
Germans in the Somme battle area
had $4,000 casualties from mortar fire
and gunfire alone.
After three days Of cooler weather
another hot wave has come. For four
weeks there has been no rain except
slight shower now and then. The
ground is parched with the drought
and the leaves are beginning 10 fall
from trees at some places.
Relief Parties Checked.
One result of the widespread shelling
over a great depth of the German front,
whether l2-inch shells into distant VII
lagos or 1s-pounders into the front line
and support trenches, is TO prevent the
Germans from bringing water, as well
as food. up to thirsty men penned up
in trenches Of burning hot earth IN
this fierce August weather. Most OF
the villages this side Of Bapaume are
filled with debris Of houses which the
British she'll fire has battered down.
One thing to be marvelled at is how
little ice is supplied, either 70 the Bit
ish or the French army. The common
use of ice is habitual to neither people
yet it is surprising that the heat pros
trations are so few.
The significant value of incubation
to prevent typnold is shown by the fact
that, despite the heat and battle con.
ditions, where burying the dead end
sanitation are hard TO control, accord
ing to the last report there were only
seventeen cases in the huge army in
France.
