GERMAN EFFORT TO
SAVE TOWN REFUSED
French Have Pushed Through
Third And Last Line Of
German Defenses

PARIS, July 5, s p. m.-The
full force Of the French offense is
again being exerted both nor rth
and south of the Somme but prln.
cipalIy southwark. In this direc-
ton the French are now In the
outskirts of Peronne, the great
railway center which Is their first
objective in their effort to cut the
German communications.
Sormont Farm, taken by tho
French, Is only two miles from
Peronne and adioins its suburban
houses. The Importance which
the Germans attach to this point
Is shown In their fierce counter
attack last night when they
rushed the French lines back to
the village Belioy-En-Santerre,
which they momentarily 'neid.
This village lies between AsseVll-
Iers and Estrees, both held by the
French, so that the German rush
temporarily made dent In the
French advance. This dent was
quickly stralghtened out. when
fierce hand to hand fighting placed
the town again In French hands.
The number Of German prison
ers taken Is now close to ten
thousand while the extent Of the
munitions captured Is shown In
the fact that sixty guns were
taken by a single army corps.
Meantime the movement north of
the Somme Is necessarily retarded
in order that the French wing may
act simultaneously with the Brit
ism right wing:
Heavy Resistance.
The British have been facing an
extremely heavy resistance and
large German reinforcements were
hurried forward all day yesterday

BRITISH PROGRESS
STEADY BUT SLOW
German Losses In Battle Of
Somme Estimated AT Over
10000 Men

LONDON, July 5, 5:17 p. M
The French continue to make
more progress than the Britis h on
the western front, owing partly TO
the more definite ground facing
the British and also to the fact
that stronger forces are opposing
because of the belief among the
Germans that the main attack IN
the present operations will be on
the British front.
But, despite their slower pro-
gress, the British are successfully
beating back heavy German count
er attacks which have been del "
cred both day and night in the
reaions of La BoisselIe and Thle-
pvaI, and, generally, between the
Ancre and the Somme, where they
are making steady progress.
Il is estimated that the German
losses in the battle Of the Somme
thus far are approximately 90, ,oOo.
The capture Of the guns has been
comparatively small, because the
Germans, In anticipation Of the Of
fensive withdrew their big artll-
lery to longer ranges before the
battle began.
According to aerial observations
on the French front in the dlrec-
ton of Peronne there are now
only three more trench systems
between the French and the open
country, and, if break can be
made in the German lines here,
it would be extremely serious Tor
the Germans, who are doubtless
hurryinq up renforcements to
make secure the threatened point.
The Germans are sending rein
forcements to the battlefield from
as far as Nerdun and Lens, and It
is thought that the continued
heavy German attacks on the
