5000 Prisoners Taken.

With the British Forces in France,
Sept 1s.-(By the Associated Press).
Field Marshal Haigs forces up to
midnight last night had captured
total of more than 5000 Germans
as the result of their drive of yes
terday on the Cambria front.
Several thousand yards of the
ish hands this morning in the Villeret
sector. southwest of LIE Catelet.
Forty guns were captured by the
British yesterday. In. the 5000 pris-
oners taken 23 German regiments in
eleven divisions were represented.
An assault delivered by the Aus
tralians at II o'clock last night in
the center Of the Villeret sector
forced the stubbornly resisting Ger
mans to pull back from their ad-
vance line to strongly fortified de-
fenses in the rear.
Furious enemy counter attacks de-
livered at numerous places along the
line late yesterday resulted in san
culinary fighting. In every case the
Germans were thrown back and their
losses were exceedingly heavy.
13 officers were taken by the British
in the midnight fighting.
In addition to capturing forty guns
the British took many machine guns
and trench mortars.
A most portentous counter attack
came Just before dusk in the region
southeast of Havrincourt, little
north Of the main battle. Here the
Germans threw in six divisions sup
ported by forty batteries. They were
completely repulsed and their cas-
ualties were extremely heavy.
The opposition to the British as
sault varied. At many points the
enemy fought to the last ditch while
at others he surrendered freely.
The moral effect of the British
tanks was great. Numbers of gray
coats surrendered on sight of them
before the land dreadnaughts fired
a shot.
1t was late in the afternoon before
the Germans began to make serious
counter attacks. Then all their
available infantry was thrown
against strong points with the great
est determination.

These losses had to be borne to gain
