ADVANCE IN TWO
DRIVES IN FRANCE
British Penetrate Hun Lines to
Depth of Mile.
FRENCH TROOPS MAKE GAIN
Poilus Drive Forward Nearly Mile on
Front of over Four and One-Half
Miles South of Scissors and
Capture 1850 Prisoners.

London, June 29-Surprise often
sives by the allies on Friday made i'm
pOrtant advances, winning ground
from the Germans at two points where
recently the enemy gave most serious
threats of breaking through.
The British troops drove forward to
a depth of mile on a front of three
and one-half miles between Bailleul
and Bethune. They won ground which
has been fought for time and time
again on the eastern end of the forest
of Nieppe.
French Take 1850 Huns.
Southwest of scissors the French
troops attacked on the four and one
half mile line from the south of Am
blemy to the east of NfontgObert. Their
average advance was nearly a mile.
The Paris war office statement says
more than 1000 Germans were taken
prisoner
The French took the heights to the
northwest of Guilty and the hills to
the south of the village of st. Pierre
Eigle.
A third success for the allied troops
was won in the vicinity of Nieppee
when Australian troops, in local OPP
Grafton, took enemy posts near Merits.
Points of Great Peril.
Both of the major attacks of the
allies were made at the points where
the Germans have penetrated the
farthest in their recent grand often
SiveS.
The British directed their efforts to
the sector between VieuX Berquin and
Pont Journal, directly in front of the
forest of Nieppe. 1t was at this point
that the Germans attempted to break
through to HazebrOuck an effort
which, had it succeeded, would have
forced the British to evacuate the i'm
portant positions they hold at Ypres.
A correspondent at the front says
that the British quickly gained all or
their detectives, and now are in a po-
sition to make further offensive move
ments at any time.
