Capture of several lines of German
trenches in the Moronvillers sector on

throughout the night. A strong Ger

said:
I'VE brilliantly captured several

From prisoners and the results OF
raids, British headquarters estimated
today, total of twenty German divi-

smashed since the start OF the often

tanned the initiative, despite every

today was extremely favorable for
