"An advance of seven miles over an
absolutely flat country devoid of any

not normally be q serious matter. In
the first two days of the Somme battle
the enemy advanced as much rs Is

two battle fields. In the north we are
holding a comparatively narrow strip
of territory between our front and the
coast and that strip contains number
of very important points to us in the
shape of railway functions and other
communications. Therefore an ad-
vance of seven miles to the north is
certainly much more serious than an

French coming to assist us in the
