Haig Throttles Teuton Coun-
ter-Drive and Retains
Initiative m West.

CBy the international News service)
London, July 23.-British and Australian
troops, by midnight thrust on front Of
eight miles, between Theivpal and Guile
mont, carried the German outer works for
a stretch OF FIVE miles, penetrated into
Poieres and. wheeling around the village
have driven a wedge across the Rapaume
highroad. between Poziers and Bapaume.
The German defense line between
Pozieres and Guillemont bore the orunt
Of the attack and it WIS there that the
British registered their lergest gains
More important, however Is the fact
Gen. HaIg has forestalled the German
counter strike, which was in process OF
preparation. The initiative is still firmly
In the hands Of the British.
That the British gains were attended
with heavy losses is indicated in reports
from the German headquarters. In one
place, to the right Of Pozieres, the artil-
lery failed to completely level the wire
entanglements erected by the Germans
and the English troops attacking on that
front were subjected to a furious machine
gun 0re, winch cost lneIn AcdNAJ'
Despite these, they succeeded in pene-
trating into 'Guillemont and now hold
sections Of the outskirts. In addition.
the British for a time regained complete
control Of Longueval. Later they were
forced to cede ground before strong
German counter-attack.
The gain at Pozieres puts the British
troops beyond the German third line.
They are within two miles Of the heights
Of Mortinpuich, crest OF the plateau.
The Berlin statement says the British
attacks were met with a heavy fire and
suffered severe losses. Berlin comedies
no retirement.
The Central News tonight states that
the British and French, in the three
weeks Of their offensive. have taken o.
223 German prisoners.
