paume is doomed and may fall today.
Such is the belief of the military ex-
perts based upon the reports of fresh
attacks that are being carried for
ward upon the Ancre and Somrfe
fronts by the Entente Allies now,
The German lines appear to be ufl-
able to withstand the volume OF shell
and high explosive which the British
gunners are raining upon them and
yesterday they broke again and for
even greater gains than the british
have as yet reported and over wider
front Few details have been received
here as yet Of the fighting, but enough
has come to show that 1t was exceed
ingly bloody on both sides, the Ger
mans resisting to the last the onrush
of the attacking British infantry The
assault of the Allies was over q front
little more than three and one-half
miles wide. and when the Teuton lines
broke the rush of the British carried
them more than a mile forward on the
