BRITISH HEADQUART-
ERS, June 28.-Canadian
troops have occupied the town
of Eleu dit Leauvette, half a
mile southwest of Lens. Cana
dian patrols showed ahead of
the village and penetrated even
further toward the coal city.
This is nearest the British
have come to the city of Lens
proper. The mention of pa
trols pushing further on indi-
Gates a general retreat of the
Germans and abandonment of
their positions, under the tre-
mendously strong pressure.
Eleu dit Leauvette is located
half a mile beyond Levin
where some time ago the Ger
mans made a desperate stand
against the British. Lens is
now practically encircled on
three sides.
They are reduced TO the necessity
of fighting from the ruins of the
burned city. Their powerful trench
es outside the town are taken. The
Germans position at Lens became
extremely critical this afternoon
with fresh British advances.
The Germans destroyed bridge
over the Souches river leading to the
city from the outskirts of Avion.
The Canadian patrols are reported
to have arrived close to Mericourt.
