 way TO FIRING LINE W

Under cover of fog and mist the Germans carried out the greatest re- tirement they have made on the west ern front in the past two years, and the British swept into possession of Pys, Serre. Miraumont and Pe,it Mir aumont, including the famous Butte oe Warlencourt, which has been the scene of some of the flercest fighting of the war and in places is deep with the bones of dead men.
 The exact extent of the German re- tarement approaches a depth of three miles at some points. British patrols are out in all directions harassing the Germans and keeping in touch with their movements.
 It can be stated that the British now or soon will be in position pos sibly to force the evacuation of Ba- paume, which has been the key to the German position since the begin ming of the battle of the Somme. The points which already have fallen into their hands have stood out in the his tory of fighting on this front and had been most stubbornly defended. Only q few days ago when the British at tackled on a two mile front east and south of Miraumont and Pys the Ger man resistance was bitter, and the high ground desired was won only af- ter desperate hand to hand encount- CTS and the taking of more than 800 German prisoners.
