LONDON, Sept. 81 "wednesday 1.-The
capture OF Thiepval by the British and
of Conbles by the combined Anglo
French forces is regarded here as the
most important success on the western
front since the opening OF the grand Of
fensivc.
The fall OF the STRONGHOLD OF Comhles
was expected for weeks. Combles had
been in process of enlightenment by the
British on the north and west and by the
French on the south and east. but the
capture OF Thiepval has proved a genuine
surprise. because IL has been a stumbling
block In the advance OF the British left
almost since the beginning OF tho Of
fensive on July ].
T~hicpval's fall gives to the Anglo
French forces tho whole line Of low hills
which slope TO the plain upon which
the town OF Bapaume makes the next
fortified centre.
The semi-oficial account OF the cap
ture Of Combles speaks OF the large
number OF men in the garrison and the
srsat quantity OF war stores taken.
Reuters official correspondent says {:
This great success was won at very
small cost. thanks. in part. TO the ex-
c~ellence OF the artillery and In part to
real collapse Of the German defence"
Reference is also made to the apparent
weakened morale Of the German troops.
