Aug 81 (by the Associated Press. -
With Mont st. Quentin in British pos
session, the Germans are in a precari-
Gus condition. Peronne must be evac-
uated or the enemy may lose many,
more men.
Starting from east of Clery this
morning, the Australians fought for
ward despite the heavy machine gun
fire and swarmed into Feuillaucourt,
capturing goo.
Another body of Australians, un-
aidetl ty trtllSs aftsclfeS Mont st.
Quentin. The Germans had no idea
that the Australians would dare at
tempt such a feat BY s o'clock the
Australians had fought their way to
the top and soon after signalled it's
capture.
Mont ST. Quentin was alive with
Germans, who came from everywhere
crying "kamerad."
Those who did not were driven from
their retreats or killed. Hundreds Of
prisoners were captured.
While the hill was being mopped
up. British guns cut loose and began
pounding a torrent of steel back of
Mont st. Quentin as a reminder to the
Germans that they had better start
moving quickly. The Australians must
have worked with great swiftness tol
make so much progress in so short al
time.
Al various points between KENNEL
and Bethune the Germans have beenl
retiring and the British have gained
back n very considerable amount of
ground.
Several counter attacks delivered
during the day east of Bapaume.
astride the road to Cambria, literallyl
withered away before the fire of the
British machine guns. The road to
Cambrai and the ground on either side
for some distance was dotted with the
bodies of Germans who>dashed against
the British in useless attempts to drive
them from the positions they had cap
tured.
About the same time the Germans
were being beaten here. the Cana-I
dians launched fresh attack just
south of the Arras- Cambria road and
drove into the enemy lines for some
distance. Heavy fighting is reported
to be still in progress between the
and the Bapaume-
Cambrai roads.
British troops have come close upl
to the Drocourt-Queant line and are
on while the boche is trying
to dislodge them. Counter-attacksj
have been launched here and the bat
tie has been raging constantly. Meth
er side gives the other a chance to
get the slightest rest. The instant
German counter-attacks are beaten
Off the British reattack and gain a
little more ground. II the British fall
back slightly before powerful boche
strokes. as soon sthey have quieted
down little. the British attack again
and hurl the Germans out, not only
gaining ground, but improving their
positions.
The Germans have fought well in
and have suffered enormously.
1t is noted in the fighting here the
enemy seems to have abandoned the
rifle and is doing nearly all his fight
ing with light and heavy machine
guns.
Further advances have been made
during the day along the Bapaume-
peronne road.
Longatte and Ecoust, from which
the British retired yesterday. were
retaken and the number Of prisoners
increased.
Bullecourt is being mopped up.
South of Bapaume the British have
,aptured Riencourt-L Les Bapaume.
