and Serre, the villages OF Hebuterne.
La Boisselle and Mametz have been
captured.
All through tho night the great
British and French offensive which
began Saturday morning continued
with intensity and there was no dimi-
mutton in the battle on Sunday. Botn
British and French war offices re-
port steady advance at certain
points. but speak Of the formidable
German resistance. Fricourt. an i'm
ortant town, three miles east OF Al
bert, has fallen to the British arms.
while the French have taken Curlu.
which lies to tie southeast. The
fighting at the southern end Of the
British line, where It Is in contact
with the French. is of the fiercest ma
ture, tremendous artillery action pre-
ceding all the infantry attacks. The
French have taken about 6.O0O prison
ers according to the latest estimates.
while the British, though reporting
the capture OF $500, later declared
that the estimates were too low. Ow-
ing to the nature of the battle 1t Is
not doubted that the casualties are
very high.
Notwithstanding the terrific offens-
i've against them in tho Somme river
region the Germans have not ceased
In their efforts around Verdun. They
have bombarded several of the Yer
dun sectors and have launched infant
ry attacks against the French
trenches.
While Berlin declares that the
French attacks against the famous
Thiaumont works were repulsed by
curtains of fire. the French war Of

sition has been recaptured.
