ing pulled from the wreckage and in
jured persons were being taken to

British Army Make Big
Gain On French Front
English Take 5000 German Prisoners
in Spring Drive in France and Also
Seize Several Villages

London, April lit is officially re-.
ported that the British forces captur.
ed more than 5000 prisoners and more
than forty guns in the drive in France.
Heavy fighting took place on the
northern end of the vimy ridge, from
which the Germans were driven. The
eastern slope was cleared.
Near st. Quentin the Germans have
been driven from the high ground
between Levenguier and Hargicourt.
Fighting continues along the entire
battle front. r,
The British have seized the village
Of FampouX and the neighboring de.
fenses north and south of the Scarpe
river
The Germans made a strong attack
on narrow front southeast of Ypres
and reached the British support lines.
They wereG driven from the British
trenches by.a counter attack.
The British have made further ad.
vance north of Bagdad, the war office
announces. They have captured the
| Ballad station on the Bagdad-Sama.
rah railway. and the town OF Herbe.
The news of the successful opening
of the new British offensive has stir.
red intense interest and high hope
among the people throughout the
country. Whatever the enemy may
have claimed as to the retreat in the
somme sector having been prearrang.
ed and strategical it is contended that
their recoil before the blow delivered
in the Arras-Lens region cannot be
explained away in any such manner.
1t is urged that there is no possible
voluntary, element in this retirement
and that there can be no dispute as
to who took the initiative.
A new chapter in the conflict on the
Western front has begun and whether
or not it is to prove the beginning Of
q decisive battle, 1t is bound, accord
ing to the prevalent opinion here, to
! lead TO results of the highest impor
lance. The main feature of the battle
thus far o. which attention has been
focused is the capture of Vimy ridge
The immense value of this series Of
heights, which dominate the plain
from an elevation of 400 to 500 feet,
has been recognized throughout the
war and great sacrifices have been
regarded as justifable If they result.
