 STRONG ATTACK
Advance is Made Between
 Castel and Anchin on Front of Approximately
 Three Miles; Go In Mile

UNDATED WAR LEAD.-(By The Associated Press.) .)-Striking the Ger mans on a front that has been quiet for the past six weeks the French have broken through and advanced their lines. The blow was launched between Castel and Mailly- -Raineval, on the Picardy front south of Amiens. The attack was along front of ap- proximately three miles. It swept the Germans back out of the village of l Castel and the Anchin farm, about mile to the south, and cleared out number of strong enemy positions. The French penetrated the German lines to the depth of more than mile.
 Sector Advanced by Americans The American attack on Cantigny some time ago advanced the line ma terially at that point, while the Aus tralians and Americans on July and l 6 cut deeply into the German line at Hamel and Nillers- -Bretonneux. south of the Somme The French attack was launched at a point between positions of the Americans at Cantigny and the Australians, further north.
 The French lines south of Castel have been parallel to and west of the Avre river. The success gained there carries the French up the hills to the west of the river and into positions which appear to dominate the villages of Morisel on the west bank and Mo- reuil on the east bank of the river. If the attack should continue success fully, the French may be able to press the foe across the Avre and thus have an admirable defensive position.
 Advance Between Asne and Marne

It is reported that the village of Longpont. south of Corey the capture of which was reported or Thursday, has been taken by General Petain's men. who have also made pro- gross north of Corey, at the Chavigny farm.
