BRITISH AND FRENCH
BEGIN OFFENSIVE
ALLIES TEAR THROUGH the
GERMAN LINES IN FRANCE
AFTER TERRIFIC GuNFIRE.
Anglo-French Army Cuts Cash Twen-
ty-five Miles Wide In German
Front in Drive Which Had
Been Planned for Months.

London.-The British have launched
thelr long expected offensive. on
July l, the British and French forces
began a furious attack against the
German forces along a front of TWEEN.
ty-fiye miles extending from below
the Somme to Gommecourt, north of
the Ancre.
In the first thirty-six hours of their
FURIOUS drive the French and British
have captured more than $500 Ger.
man prisoners, cleared fifty square
miles OF French territory of the In.
vaders and have carried eleven vii.
lagos and complicated series of en-.
trenchments and redoubts that the
Germans have been more than TWEEN
ty months constructing.
The long expected offensive. the
big push" for which the British have
been preparing for months, and which
is part OF general closing in on
Germany on all fronts, got under way
at 1880 Saturday morning. The troops
English, Scotch, Irish and French
-surged from their trenches after a
commandment of an hour and a half,
which was the climax Of the steady
pounding of the previous four days.
Hundreds of batteries poured tons
pr iron and explosives into the oppos
ing trenches, wrecking them and bury.
Ing the occupants.
The attacking front of the British
was approximately twenty miles. ex.
tending from Gommecourt to a point
north of the Somme. The French
stormed forward over about five miles
on both sides of the Somme. 1t is
Just north of the Somme that the
British and French fronts join, the
French extending on to Verdun and
the Swiss frontier, and the British
stretching down to the sea.
The British-French offensive in
France, with it's preceding five-day
commandment, is described by the
military experts in that theater of op.
erations as the "last word in scientific
warfare"
Here are some of the things the
british and French did as a prelimin-
airy to their drive through the Ger.
man front near Somme.
Built 5000 miles of railroads to IA
cllltate moving munitions and troops
and handling the wounded.
Put metal surface on all the turn
pixies.
Rebuilt or strengthened every
bridge and railroad
Concentrated 100000 fighting men,
backed by 100000 auxiliary workmen,
bridge and railroad builders.
Filled the whole region with hid
den guns of the largest caliber, many
of them fifteen-inch mortars, and
manned these guns with French artil-
lery experts.
Installed all over the region new
phone system, with concrete poles.
augmented by network of telegraph
wires and stations and field hospitals.
Buried ammunition everywhere, to-
sether with medicines and food sup
plies, so that, no matter where the
troops moved in an emergency, they
would have shells and food without
the trouble and delay of ordinary
modes of transportation
Arranged the big guns in such
way as to provide concentric fire
from many guns on small areas of the
German trenches.
In the preliminary fiye-day lombard
ment the French army fired 1000 900
shells over a ninety-mile front.
