WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE. Sept 10 (2:O0 z. ny
Despite the serious menace which
the British established yesterday
over the Hindenburg line by their
capture OF ridges northwest Of st.
Quentin. the Germans this morning
continued 10 purse their grievances
without renewing on a large scale
their costly counter attacks of last
evening
Fighting still proceeded. particG-
larly on the extreme flanks OF the
battle front. where the British were
cleaning out strong points and
Strengthening their lines. but the ini-
tiative remained entirely with them.
That the situation created by the
British sesizure OF the long linden
burg outpost line and the dominat-
ing heights In front OF II could not
remain stationary for long seemed a
foregone conclusion. Whether the
enemy would essay further heavy
counter attacks depended entirely on
the badly drained resources at his
command for the next move un-
doubtcdly belonged to the Germans,
since they must push the British
back or continue To live with the
naked sword hanging over them In
this vital sector.
Enemy LOSSES Heavy.
The enemy losses yesterday were
extremely heavy. both In the early
fighting and In the numerous coun-
tor attacks which were thrown In
toward night. In a desperate attempt
To regain part OF the lost ground.
The whole zone OF the long battle
front today was strewn with dead In
the field gray uniforms and more
than 5000 prisoners were In tho
british cages
The entire British operation has
grown into brilliant and important
success. which was not forecast IN
the original limited plans Not the
least important feature of the vic.
tory was the slaughter inflicted on
the enemy forces particularly during
their frcnzied counter attacks, when
they we're moved down like wheat
with the machine guns, or swallowed
up IN a maelstrom Of crashing shells
from the British barrage.
There were few spectacular Incl.
dents In yesterdays fighting. al.
though the operation as a whole was
spectacular enough when one con
giderE that these gallant English and
Australian veterans had in many
places to fight their way up three
lines of ridges. with valleys inter
vcning. working forward doggedly
over slimy ground IN the face of a
vicious machine gun and rifle fir,
from myriad OF strongholds anC
from numerous villages and hamlet,
