Germans Can Be Attacked
on Flank; Great Delight in
London Over Achievements
By .AtSncinted Press

London. July 12.-Although the ex-
tent of ground which has been gained
by the British offensive is not great,
there is satisfaction in England over
the success attained by the army of
General Haig during the twelve days
of fighting, and the belief exists that
the advantageous positions now occu-
pied will make possible greater
achievements. The capture of Contral-
maison, Mametz and Trones woods
gives the British line running almost
due east and west, so that the Ger
mans to the north can be attacked on
the flank when the guns are brought
up for the second phase of the op-
erations. To the south the French are
In a position somewhat similar to the
British and likewise can attack the
German flank south of Belloy and
Estrees. For the moment, however.
the two armies are engaged in prepar-
ing their new positions.
Heavy BATTLES in East
Meanwhile the Germans, renewing
the attacks on Verdun, have captured
Damloup battery. which they held for
q time at the beginning of June. This
position is the point farthest from
Verdun in the French line of defense,

100000 Prisoners and 41o
Guns, in Latest Drive

London, July -. - The capture
of the whole of the Germans first
system of defense on front of A.
coo yards (nearly eight miles,, after
ten days and nights of continuous
fighting. is announced in the official
report from British headquarters in
France. The number of prisoners
taken exceed 1900.
A striking illustration of the diff
ference in the relative positions of
the allied and Teutonic forces and
of the remarkable change from tins
monotonous defensive trench war
fare which characterized the allied
operations for so many weary
months, until the present summer,
is found in the number of prisoners
and guns taken.
These for the battle of the Somme
amount to $4,000 prisoners and 104
guns captured from the Germans,
while the official figures for the
Russian General Brussiloffs drive to
July 10 are 500 prisoners, 312
guns and S66 machine guns.
