London. Aug. (by the Associated
Press. More than 1900 prisoners
had been captured by the allies in The
Somme drive up to noon today, accord
ing to adviees this afternoon. More
than 200 guns also have been taken.
The Canadians, the advices state,
have taken the town Of Beaufort two
and haf miles southwest Of Ro-
sieres
The Australians are fighting fur
ther north, along the Somme.
Small parties Of Germans arc re-
ported 10 bc still in Rosieres, three and
one-half miles west of Chaulnes, but
the British are all around them and
their life as fighting men probably
will be short.
The figure Of 1000 prisoners taxi
on embraces the number that had
counted. OF these the French report
ed more than 1000 while the British
total at noon was more than $4,000.
Tho French have been doing good
work today on the south of the new
drive and probably have taken many
additional prisoners there.
The present advance has already
had an important effect upon the
strategic situation. German forces at
Montdidier now are in a very uncom-
Portable salient with only one railway
to supply them and that line under
crossfire from allied guns
1t seems likely that withdrawal
from Montdidier may be necessary
il the Germans cannot force the
French and British back from the
ground taken by them during the past
two days.

INF FANTRY TEARS
GREAT HOLES IN

With the British Army in France,
Aug. (by the Associated Press) -
British cavalry and some infantry
were signalled in the neighborhood
of Chaulnes this morning. When
last heard from directly, they. to-
gether with armored cars, were oper.
ating back of Framerville and have
now progressed many kilometers be-
yond, continuing the cleaning of the
country and capturing villages.
1t is reported that a German di
visional general has been captured in
the drive.
Allied cavalrymen have been oper-
ating for more than twenty-four
hours. They rode through great holes
torn in the German line by the in
fantry. Today was ideal for their op-
erations. being clean and sunny.
No reports have as yet been re-
ceived that the allied forces have es-
tablished contact with Crown Prince
Rupprecht's reinforcements which are
believed to be rushing toward the bat
tie front in an attempt to prevent an,
even greater defeat. In the meantime
the British and French are taking the
fullest advantage of the opportunity
and at the same time are prepared to
withstand any shock which may de-
velop.
