On the Somme front in France the
French and British forces again have
taken the offensive and been reward
ed with additional gains. General
Haigis men made progress toward
Bapaume, while General Foch's SOL
dierS, who apparently have zegun an
other effort TO eject the Germans from
Combles and its salient in the Entente
line north of the Somme, also met
with success.
After the checking Of German at
tacks southeast Of Combles, between
lie Priez farm and Rancourt, the end
Of the French part Of the Entente line
which almost encircles the town, the
French undertook local operations on
the outskirts Of Combles itself. An
organized and defended house was
captured and several trench elements
were occupied. In these enterprises
140 prisoners were taken.
General Haig's troops Strengthened
out their line between Martinpuich
and Flers, a distance of abfut one
mile by taking two lines Of German
trenches. The British front there now
runs on direct line north of the
two villages. London also records I'M
provcment OF other positions on the
British front.

that the number Of prisoners taken
by the Anglo-French forces on the
Somme from July l to September IL
