 lets were extremely busy, but those were being silenced one by one as the advance proceeded.
 It is reported that two regimental commanders have been captured in one sector.
 Since day break the Germans have
 been making an extraordinary effort
 to blow up with field gun fire ammu-
 milton and other dumps which they
 had to leave so hastily yesterday.
 Their aim was exceedingly poor.
 Typical Battlefield Scene The scene at Bayonvillers today is typical of the rest of the battle area Broad fields of crops or brown grass fringe the town and spread for miles over the flat surrounding country Abandoned German field guns are here with little piles of empty shell cases and the bodies of Germans are lying here and there, telling the story of
 what happened. Lying off on the side | Of the road are army motor trucks, one of them with a trailer filled with artillery maps, some the headquarters staff could not save.
 The guns abandoned here are in shall low pits three feet deep. Little holes
 nearby, covered with curved iron slabs. show where the German gun
 ners lived before they were killed or
 ran to save themselves.
 Town ShelIed to Pieces Harbonnicres nearby was shelled to pieces. Debris lies all over the streets. Here the allied forces found the house
 which the German mayor had occupied ho Tyr | and several shells had hit the walls.
 but there were evidences that he had stayed until the last moment. Further southward the ground here
 and there had been plowed by the shells and the bodies of men and horses were lying where they fell. In some | places machine-gun nests were found which had been put out of action. Tn one machine gun which had been | put out of business was lying over on | it's side while scattered around were | the bodies of the Germans who | manned it. Apparently they had tried to escape but were prevented by a tank.
 In many open places the ground was literally dotted with German corpses. Allied Casualties Light The allied casualties were extremely light. For instance, one battalion in the thickest of the fighting had only six men killed and four officers and sixty men wounded during an advance
 of eleven miles. These men were tired when they finished the task before
 them, but today they pushed forward again.
 In the north it appeared that the stoutest resistance developed, the Ger mans firing a great number of shells, especially across the Somme in the region of Chipilly. However, Warfusee- Abancourt, Bayonvillers and Harbon
 nieres are in the control of the British. Enemy Trenches Defective The German trenches throughout the whole length of the front were ex- | tremely narrow and poorly constructed. This was not caused by lack of ma | terial, all kinds of which are being dis | covered and '.sed. Aslde from the loss | of ground and men this is most serious | to the enemy
