Fighting on Tremendous
Scale Along the Entire
British Front, Centering
at Villages Of Oppy and
Arleux.
woTAN LINE TURNED
AFTER HOT BATTLE
Steady Stream Of Prisoners
From Bloody Angle
Where Desperate Counter
Attacks by Germans Are
Under Way.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SlMMS,
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT.

With the British Armies
Afield, April 28.-British
troops have turned the Ger
man "Wotan line.''
Half of the village Of Oppy
believed to be the north
ernmost town of this Ger
man defense front-was cap
tured today in desperately
hot fighting.
Arleux, a trifle further to
the north, also fell to the
tremendous British assault.
INTENSE FIGHTING.
Information from other sections OF
the British front reaching the spot
from which this dispatch is written
detailed fighting on a tremendous
scale of intensity.
Around Oppy and Arleux It was
still progressing after a night of never
ending clash. The armies on both
sides swayed back and forth in the
struggle. But the latest report to-
day showed the British still in pos
session Of half of Oppy and all Of
Arleux-and beating back desperate
German counter attacks.
PRISONERS BROUGHT IN.
Around Gavrelle, Haig's offensive
was still gaining ground. A steady
stream of prisoners from this bloody
angle were being shifted back of the
lines.
To the south, as part of his gigantic
push, Haig's troops were thrown to-
ward Greenland hill. They struck hard
and swarmed over into German
trench running south of the Scarpe.
There they stuck fast. despite ire
mendous blows launched by the Ger
mans. Not even literal melting away
of the German attackers in the face
of murderous machine gun fire and
the steel curtain of British artillery
stopped the desperate enemy counter
thrusts. The German losses are stag
gering in these attacks.
At the present moment the most
fighting, however. is apparently in
progress in the woods to the west Of
Roeux-just above the Scarpe. There
the forest was literally being moved
down by artillery fire and the moss
stained red with rivulets of blood as
the Germans madly attacked were
locked in bitter conflict; and were
thrown back-only to reform and at
tack again. Meanwhile the British
inched further and further forward.
