With the British Army in France
Fighting their way through the Ger
mans at dawn on a front of about 20
miles astride the River Somme, British
and French troops reached points from
five to six miles inside lines which be.
longed to the enemy. The Prussians
and Bavarians fled before the advanc-
ing infantry and tanks, leaving many
Of their guns behind them. Large num-
bers of prisoners have been taken both
by the British and French and heavy
casualties undoubtedly have been In
flicted on the enemy.
Thus far everything has been accom-
complished with excessively small loss
es to the allies. OF one entire British
corps, for instance, two hours after the
attack began, only two officers and Is
men of the ranks were reported as cas-
ualties.
The artillery followed up the storm
troops closely and hurled shells down
upon the enemy forces, which, taken
by surprise and fiercely attacked, must
be in more or less crippled condition.
