 According to the British war of- flce communication, under another of the terrific British tombardments, the Germans have abandoned their main defensive system west of Ba- paume on a front of 2 1-2 miles, 70 depth of a mile. The advance gave King Georges men the village of Grevlllers and the Loupart wood, bringing the advance British forces at the former place to a scant 1 1-2 mile from the northwest outskirts of Bapume.
 North of the Ancre, the left wing Of the British in this particular re- zion has bent back the German lines on front of mile east and north east of Gommecourt, and somewhat strengthened out the curve extending from Essarts les Bucquoy to the re- zion north of Puisseux au Mont.
 To the north of this region, in the vicinity of Armentierres, Souchez, Melville, St. Vast and southwest If ?Neuve Chappelle, the Germans threw out raiding parties, but all these met repulses, according to London, except in the eastern end, where the. Ger mans reached a British trench and made prisoners of some of the occu- pants.
 Elsewhere on the line in France. there have been only artillery engage ments. which are especially severe in the Champagne, on the sectors of Mason de Champagne and Massiges, and at various points on both sides of the Mouse, in the region of Yer dun.

Gunboats are proceeding up the river, in pur- suit of the Turks.
