PARIS. August 2s.-The allies now
have won back more than two-thirds
of the ground lost since the begin
ming of the German offensive in
March. 1t was wrung from them by
an overwhelming effort of force and
they have regained it by the brilliant
generalship of their leaders and the
skillful rnaneuvering of their troops

shows that every movement in each
section of the long battle line has
been carefully thought out In its rela-
tion to the whole. Thus the British

of being caught in a trap If he hung
on another instant. As a result he
was obliged to abandon Rove and
Nesle and retire behind the Somme,
with the French close at his heels.
Immediate interest in the battle is
in the operations on the wings. Gen.
Mangin is fighting hard on the right
in the region Of Juvigny ad Chavigny.
The terrain is difficult there because
Juvigny Is level with Luffaux and the
Chemin- -des-Dames. Also the Ger
man seventh army still clings to the
line OF the Vesle.
On the left the British east Of Ar
ras have overrun the powerful de-
fenses which have encircled Arras
and are getting dangerously near the
formidable positions prepared several
years ago to protect Douai and Cam
brai. These towns are important
railroad centers and vital to the Ger
man position so that a fierce struggle
may be looked for before the allies
reach them.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, August 2s.-Throughout the
day the French troops pressed the
enemy vigorously. They have reach
ed the left bank OF the Somme from
Cizancourtsto east Of Nesle. q distance
of about hve miles. Several hundred
prisoners were taken today.
From east of NesIe the fighting front
follows the course of the Canal du
Nord to Catigny and then southwark
to Noyon. Catigny is surrounded on
three sides. but houses transformed
into blockhouses and bristling with
machine guns are holding up the
French for the moment. The enemy
also is holding fast on the heights east
of Catigny. There is very severe fight
ing at many places.

tered Nesle- French infantry occu-
pied the town of Cressy, two and one

The retreat of the Germans was
much quickened at some parts Of the
front today. while southeast of Roye
the entry into action of German guns
of all calibers slackened the French
pursuit.
The Germans in retiring left large
quantities of munitions behind them,
especially in Roye.
May Not Halt on Disc.
With the French in possession of
Noyon, the Germans will have only
their positions to the northeast, in
the hills along the Disc, and in the
northwest, on the west bank of the

Germans back FROM Arras. This line
has been approached In several places
and has been reached in at least one
place in the neighborhood of the
Sensee river.
The success of this drive here and
the breaking through of the old Ger
man defense system may have far
reaching effects both in the north and
the south.
South Of the scarpe the Canadians
finally captured all of Pelves after
brisk street hghting, and, pushing
entered Remy and Haucourt. The
British are we'll east of Fontaine, and
,, the main body Of the Germans has
retired from Hendecourt eastward.
Extremely heavy fighting is in prog
ress from a point south of Lens south
ward across the Scarps river to the
Arras-Cambrai road, but the British are
making progress everywhere, beating
down the German resistance with steady
blows.
Hun Losses Are Huge.
Sanguinary losses have been inflicted
on the Germans in all the fighting in
this general region. British guns placed
back of Croisilles have had the retreat
ing Germans at many places. particular
under direct fire. The gunners have had
the unusual experience of seeing where
every shot fired fell and noting what
damage each did. The enemy artillery,
retiring from the rear of Hendecourt, Of
fered fine target, and shells were sent
raining into the fleeing columns, cutting
great gaps in them.
Vis-en-Artois, which was captured
yesterday by the Canadians, was the
scene Of more hard fighting. The town
Is completely leveled, and many dead
Germans are mixed up in the piles Of
debris.
The enemy has even resorted to blow
ing great craters in the roads south Of
the Somme in his effort to check the
advance. One thirty-foot crater was
blown In the road between Arras and
Cambria, just outside Of Vis-en-Artois.
Agreed to Surrender.
North of here a group of prisoners
captured said they had 1t all arranged
among themselves to yell 'Kameradu'
as soon as the Canadians launched their
attack against them. They carried out
this arrangement.
Near Vis-en-Artois this morning
when an attack was launched q host Of
Germans suddenly got up out Of the
ground and ran like so many rabbits,
leaving only a few machine gunners be-
hind them.
1t Is impossible as yet. to obtain any
accurate figures regarding prisoners.
One corps is reported to have taken
1000 since yesterday. But the armies
do not have time to count their prisoners
or booty while the fighting continues
The British are principally occupied with
capturing more. And the counting can
be done later.
