this weeks reports are still better.
The enemy in the past week has lost
over one hundred thousand prisoners
and over seven hundred guns. In
France on Thursday American and
French forces on front of forty
miles, just west of Verdun, attacked.
The Americans alone captured nine
thousand Germans and one hundred
guns, the French capturing twelve
thousand prisoners. Still further
west, near the Aisne, the French have
been steadily gaining all the week
and are now to the rear of the Ger
mans on the Chemindes Danes. On
Friday British forces, with Ameri-
cans on their right, attacked opposite
Cambria and further north, captur-
ing 10000 prisoners and 200 guns, and
Cambria is reported captured. This
attack was in the rear of the linden
burgh line. Still further north on
Friday the Belgiums struck and cap
tured 10000 Germans, on Saturday
being joined by the British second
army under Gen. Plumer to the south
and their advance is still continuing.
| In Macedonia the allies have driven
in over sixty miles, capturing hun
1 dreds of guns and thousands of pris-
oners, and so terrible has been the
blow that the Bulgarian government
has asked for an armistice to discuss
the terms of peace.
In Russia fighting that we hear
/ but little of, is going well for the
allies.
In the Holy Land Gen. Allenby has
managed to count his prisoners up
to $4,000 with 325 guns, while there
are about thirty thousand more, that
/ T,,sop@inal1vy caHrv~oTaT7Ao6 and H4yi1l
eventually have to surrender. Great
/ Indignation has been aroused in Tur-
key at Field Marshal Lymanvon Sand
er's rapid flight from the battle. He
commanded the Turkish armies in the
Holy Land. A meeting of the leading
Turkish officials has been called to
meet to discuss the situation, and if
Bulgaria surrenders, Turkey would
most likely follow her example.
Fighting on the Italian front has
increased greatly in the last week
but no large attacks have taken place
! Mesopotamia is the only front, which
has had no fighting, but the extreme
heat of summer is now over and
something will most likely harper
