London-The entire northern end
of the German front in France has
been shaken by the tremendous OPP
erations inaugurated by the British
forces early this week. The attack
ing forces are now within three miles
of Cambria, the center of six rail-
ways and the chief depot center for
German communication lines in
Central France. The town of Fon-
tame Notre Dame, three miles to
the southwest of Cambria, was taken
by the British this morning and the
big guns are pouring shells into the
larger town, which is reported to in
flames now and in imminent danger
of capture. The Germans are de-
troying their own Notifications in an
ticipation of the evacuation of more
of their positions.
Twelve thousand prisoners were
taken by the British in the second
days operations, which have resulted
also in the recovery of one hundred
square miles of French territory,
held by the Germans since the fall
of 1914. In two days the British
gained as much ground as during the
first four months of the Battle of
Somme. The big British tanks
tore holes in the German wire en-
tanglements, making it possible for
cavalry, infantry and artillery to
rush the German positions. Cavalry
was used for the first time in mass
attack and assisted materially gain
ing the great victory, which is hail
as the greatest on the Western
front.

The British stormed the first system
of defense along the entire front.
The infantry ranks pressed on and
captured the second system of de-
tense, more than a mile beyond.
The attack began yesterday morn
and the fact that there was no ar
tillery preparation enabled the Brit
ish forces to take the enemy COM
pleteiy by surprise. German pris-
oners are pouring into the British
camps, many of them still dazed by
