international News Services:
LONDON, April 11.-Crushing all
German resistance. the British today
made further progress in the great
drive on the Arras front.
The shell-shattered village of La
Bergere was captured from the Ger
mans last night, the war office an
nOunced today.
I'm addition" says the official re-
port. I'VE made satisfactory prog
ress on other parts of the line"
The general situation is develop
ing favOrably and in accordance
With the plans for the allies offens-
i've, it was stated.
The text of the official commune
cation reads:
The situation is developing fav
orably and according to the general
plan for the offensive. we have cap
tured La Bergere and made satisfac-
tory progress on other parts of the
front"
Take $4,000 Prisoners.
The captures are growing hourly
and the prisoners in British hands
are now estimated at not less than
$4,000, including from 200 TO $50
German officers. The booty includes
about 175 machine guns and over
10 cannon.
British forces are now less than
10 miles from the railroad center OF
Douai, which the Germans had for
titled 10 the strength of an inland
Gibraltar. Ii will soon be under the
fire Of British guns.
The fortified village OF MOnchy lie
Preux, five miles east Of Arras, has
been penetrated by the British after
hand-to-hand fighting on the ground
and in tho darkness of smoke filled
dugouts tar beneath the surface.
Monchy. as well as practically all
the other villages captured by the
British since they began their drive
on Monday. are masses of shell-tOrn
ruins.
Correspondents at the front state
that already the British have won
their greatest victory of the war.
The capture Of Vimy ridge-a feat
of the Canadians-ranks as one OF
the biggest exploits of the British
army and opens up great military
possibilities.
Counter Attacks Fail
The Germans, angered at the ease
with which this powerful fortress
was taken from them, launched
counter assaults last night, but the
official dispatches from the front
say that all were repulsed.
All through the night there were
heavy artillery duels along the en-
tire front from Lens TO the Aisne
river. Under this fire the British
worked feverishly to consolidate
their new positions, some of which
were from five 10 six miles in ad-
vance OF the positions they held last
Sunday
The advance had its best results
along the Scarpe river. east OF Arras-
In that sector the British are rapidly
approaching the Sensee river, which
the Germans probably will try 10
hold in force. Ever since the big
push began the weather has been
bitterly cold, and there have been
driving gusts Of snow. In spite of
these handicaps the British airmen
have been busy all along the battle
front.

Mothers Doll Story
The Snow Fort

A little boy, Bobbie, once went to
play in the snow.
Come on. Sportr he called to his
toy puppy dog, Fido.
SO Fido wagged his flannel tail and
barked woolen bark that made the
nursery seem just like ZOO.
Then BObbie stuffed him in big
overcoat pocket. and off they ran to
have fun.
Great soft white flakes kept falling
till the yard was full of them. Soon
Bobbie tossed Fido right into Il snow
bank, and Fido b0rked and growled
with glee. BObbie ran for the big
snow shovel, and when he dragged II
over the garden paths Eido sat down
on it and had lovely ride.
Lets make snow fort" shouted
BObbie.
SO FidO scratched and caWed in the
snow, and BObbte shOvcled with all
his might till they had It big pile of
snow heaped up almost as high as they
were.
"You be the enemy. Fidor cried
Robbie.
SO Fido ran around on tho other side
and barked and grOWled some more.
And Bobbie threw Snowballs at him
till his flannel sides were all wet with
what melted. Then the sun went
down, and Bobbie put Fido in his
pocket again and trudged into the
house.
