On the left Germans hold to ThiepvaI and on the right still cling to Guillemont which, of all the ruine villages, now is most complete 1y pestle- mixed by shell fire.
 The repulse last night Of a German attempt to drive the British out of the edge of Guil1emont and the neigh boring stone quarry was one of tho most sanguinary since the war began.
 Tonight the British have been mal1- ing further progress east of Delville Wood and further tightening the pin cers on Ginchy and Guillemont.
 This afternoon they pressed for ward another lap towards Thiepval and observers witnessed another ar tiIlery curtain of fire which utterly si- fenced the German machine guns as the British charge picked it's way >among shell craters for 400 yards up Q hillside, entered the German trench and sent back the usual punches of German prisoners.
 All was seen clearly as if on a stage and viewed from a gallery, even to the detail Of men standing on the edge of the trench and throwing bombs as they might toss biscuits into Ia basket. Clearing out the snipers lplodding ahead with their supplies of hombs and carrying their light ma- chine guns, that persistent line of in Rfantry, under the cover of the con- tinuous blasts from their own guns and in the midst of bursting shells of Sthe enemy never faltering, reached very top of the ridge at one point for Sa front of 1000 yards.
 They were within only 500 yards \ Eof the pulverized remains of what once was the village of Thiepval which has become the most redoubt- fable of names to hundreds of thou sands of men.
 Meanwhile the British kept on send E ing 15-inch shells into the Thicpval area and into the German dugOuts which lie deep under the wreckage of houses. Spouts Of smoke and dust rose to the height of 200 feet and Swhat looked like the bodies of men
