Dominion Troops Force
Wedge Into Enemy.
BY Associated Press.

The slow, but sure. encirclement of
Lens, the important coal center held
by the Germans, is in process of con-
summation by the Canadians. Having
captured important vantage points
west and southwest of the town, a
fresh attack has been rewarded by
occupation of the village of La
coulotte, a mile to the south.
With the British virtually envelop-
ing the town, except on the east, the
Germans already have ceased the min
ing of coal in the immediate vicinity
of Lens, thereby seemingly indicating
that they realize that their tenure of
the position is short lived.
New Thrusts Coming.
Although London, aside from the
operations aroand Lens reports no
activity rising in Importance above
minor patrol sorties. Berlin asserts
that heavy artillery duels are now in
progress at various points. Reading
between the lines of the German re-
port it is apparent that the British
are the aggressors and IL is possible
that General Haig is preparing for
new thrusts against the German lines.
