BAPAUME FALLS TO BRITISH SOLDIERS Town Fired by Germans As They.
 Fall Back BERLIN ADMITS RETIREMENT Kaiser's War OAace Announces With- drawal at Two Points on Western Front-Enslish Troops Advance in MacedOnia.
BERLIN ADMITS RETIREMENT

London, March 17.-Bapaume, on the Franco-Belgian front. has been captured by the British, Reuters Agency announces.
 Reuters correspondent at British headquarters in France telegraphs that the towns of Le Transloy and Achiethas-Petit also are reported to be in the British hands.
 "Our troops entered Bapaume this morning after stiff fighting" Reu- ter's correspondent telegraphs. ''The place was in flames. the Germans hav- ing evidently made all plans for set ting fire to it when forced to retreat.
 "Our troops are reported to be be- yond the town."
 Bapaume has been considered from the first the British objective in the Somme operations, 50 far as any one place could be so classed. For months the progress of General Haig's armies has been measured in distances from Baupaume as they drew closer and closer to it, creating a salient here and another there, crushing in the sides. and forcing back the German lines.
 This movement, halted by the ad- vent of winter with the British. ad- vanced line still several miles. short of the objective has been greatly ac- celerated during several weeks past by the great retirement operation of the Germans on the Somme front, b. ginning late in February.
 Bapaume is considered position of vital military importance in this region of the Franco-Belgian front. It's capture. it, has been by military writers, will probably serve to make Peronne untenable and render St. Quentin an unsafe place for the shell ter of the German staff.
 '' Bapaunae. which had a population of 5000 before the war, is a place Of note. The place was the scene of hard battle between the French and Germans during the FTancoS PruseiAn var.
