The British hnally have captured the fiercest con- tested town of Contalmaison after desperate day and night fighting and now are holding the town against all the German counter attacks.
 Prussians Defeated.
 The importance the Germans have attached to this position may be meas ured by the fact that they recently threw the Prussian guards into the lighting at this point.
 The British also are in possession or the greater part of Mametz wood having captured nearly the whole Trones wood. The British commander in chief, General Sir Douglas Haig. thus summarizes the results of the ten days operations:
 Our troops completed the methodi- cal capture of whole enemy's first system of defenses on a front of IA .O0O yards.

 The news from the eastern front Is equally satisfactory from an allied point of view. The German war of flee at last admit that the fighting on the Stockhod line is approaching kovel on both sides of the railway.
 Much comment was caused today by the German denial of an alleged alleged Russian communication that Pinsk had been evacuated as no such claim had been made in the Russian field. It is clear that the Russian drive in the direction of Kovel has brought the Germans offensive at Lutsk to a standstill. and, according to the Russian communication the Germans have brought up strong rein forcements to defend the Stokhod line and Kovel General Brussiloff how ever now has the impossible Pinsk covering his right flank and is in position to Outflank the Ger man defanSaS of EOval
