simple reason that we have had
enough to do cleaning up and con-
solidating what we already have
gained. SO there has been little op-
portunity to extend our advance
There have been some important local
improvements. however. Apparently
the whole Of Mareoing is in our hands,
as our line rests upon the bank of
the st. Quentin canal. which runs
east from that place.
Highland ridge. which was the
scene of such severe fighting in the
former battle of Cambria, is again in

1t is believed there was a big haul
of guns near Havrincourt which had
been especially reserved to pinch out

aration. in coordination with French
and British batteries.
The British fleet bembarded the
enemy coastal defenses and points Of

attacked the positions. We captured
all the organized lines of defense in
the first position. Crossing this. we
carried the second position, which
was strongly organized.
Despite the resistance and vain
counter attacks against the Staden
railway we captured the whole forest
of Houthulst.
We captured territory to the line OF
weumen, Pierkensheeh, Schaep. Bail
lie and Broodseynde. The advance
amounted to more than six kilometers
and 1000 prisoners were taken by the
Belgians. The booty. which has not

battery of $50 millimeters. other
heavy ealiber guns and important ma
terial. The number of dead bodies on
the field shows the extent of the
