LONDON, Sept. 10.-The successful
operations of the British and French
armies north and south of st. Quen-
tin yesterday and to-day are regarded
by British military commentators ~
preliminary to still greater move
ments for the purpose of shattering
what remains of the Hindenburg
line.
The British in their advance have
captured about 10000 prisoners-1O.-
600 are reported officially Tonight
bringing their total in September SD
far to nearly 10000. Including the
prisoners taken by the French and
the Americans, the enemy hns lost
more than 10000 in prisoners so far
this month.

tackled the Germans had occupied the
old British intrenchments as front

section than elsewhere, since the St.
Quentin Canal. which Is their prin.

runs underground for some miles.
and thus offers no obstacle to the use
OF tanks.
This latest success is important.
not so much because of the ground
gained and the number of prisoners
taken as for the reason that it pro-
vides further evidence that the Allies
now are able to attack and overcome
even the formidable fixed positions to
which the Germans had pinned their
faith.

COUNTER ATTACKS
COSTLY TO ENEMY
Crack Troops Vainly Try to
Regain Lost Ground.

LONDON, Sept. 10. - On the British
front in Picardy to-day small additional
advances were made east of Epehy and
near Gouzeaucourt, and Field Marshal
Haig tonight reports that the number OF
prisoners taken yesterday exceeds 10000
with more than sixty guns. There was
local fighting at numerous points along
the line, but most OF the day was spent
In improving and consolidating the posi-
tons won yesterday and last night. In
Flanders the British improved their posi-
tions south OF Auchy and west of Wyt-
schaete.
Two counter attacks bv the Germans
late yesterday were notable for the large
scale on which they were attempted and
for their complete failure. Evidently
the Germans are putting all their
strength into the effort to stop the
British. The first attack. following a
most violent bombardment with "A very
large number of guns. was delivered a.
o'clock on wide front between Gou-
zeaucourt and the Arras Cambria road,
from near Trescault northward.
Enemy LOSSES Are Severe.
The second attack came soon after
near Moeuvres and was delivered In
even greater infantry strength Like
the first 1t failed, although at some
places the Germans entered the Brit.
ish trenches and remained there until
a strong British counter attack threw
them out In both OF these attacks the
German losses were exceptionally heavy
