A few months ago a young Western
ranchman returned to his home In q

was the beginning of the comfortable
little home which had its Icons In the

years In a two-room ''shack" on the

rails

Germans completely by surprise and
they fled almost everywhere pell-mell
before the tanks, motor machine gun
batteries, cavalry and infantry, sent
against them. All the objectives set
for the Australians, Canadians, Eng
lishmen and Frenchmen were attained
in remarkably quick time, and at last
accounts Thursday night the Allied
forces were still making progress.
Wherever the enemy turned to give
battle he was decisively defeated.
Thousands of Germans were made
prisoners. Large numbers of guns
were captured, great quantities Of
material were taken and a score or
more villages and hamlets were re-
occupied. In addition heavy casual
ties were inflicted on the enemy.
At its deepest point the penetra-
ton of the German line was about
seven and half miles eastward from
Villers- Bretonneux to Framerville,
while from two to five miles were
gained along the front from north
west of Montdidier to the region
around Morlancourt. The fighting
extended north Of Morlancourt to the
Albert sector, but no official details
concerning it have been received.
