NEW YORK, June 21-With
= the Canadians in posses
sion of important positions which
give them the command of the
approaches to the vitality import
ant and long threatened city of
Lens, the British moved forward
another notch on their long road
yesterday.
The announcement that the
Canadians had at last succeeded
in taking a nest of German
trenches which have held steady
despite the tremendous bonn
bardment of the British gunners
ever since the first advance over
vimy Ridge, was made from the
headquarters of the Canadian
forces on the western front, and
added that the main difficulty in
the pathway of the British ad-
pancesto the capture Of the i'm
portant French CoaIing center,
has now been removed.
The British also succeeded in
retaking positions east of Mon
chy lie PreuN, which they had lost
to the counter attacks of the
Huns last Monday. This was
done without great cost added
the official communicate issued
last night in London. The same
attacks that won these positions
carried the Canadian lines farth-
er east in other portions of this
sector. e.. q.
The French were not so fortu-
nate, for the German attacks ON
the Champagne front succeeded
in penetrating the first, or ad-
vanced French lines, and OCCUPY
ing some of the advanced French
trenches, in spite of the bitter de-
tense Of the poiIuS, who thrust
the attacking columns back sew
eral times, before the weight of
the Teutonic attack won its way
into the outlying trenches.
The Entente troops for the most |
part, however, are still evidently upon !
the defense, pending the moment when !
they strike. Preparations for what Is |
believed TO be a great, offensive, are
still going forward with undated zenl, |
according to reports from the western
front.
The Italians are reported to be strik, !
ing hard at the Austrians, and yester- |
day captured strongly fortified positions
on Mont Ortigara, which gives them
marked advantage in the fighting of !
that district. They took at the same
time one thousand additional prisoners,
bringing the total of captured Austri,
ans in this last great drive up to 36,936.
