CBy Associated Press.)-The great
battle now being fought in this re-
gion is on a front Of nearly so miles
today, it having been extended to the
north. The British are gaining every
where. There is virtually no enemy
opposition.
The only resistance worth men
tfOning Is coming from the enemy
machine gunners. The bulk OF the
enemy artillery seems to have fed

TO be out OF range.

ming to evacuate that city may be
expected at any time
Cambria is being rapidly left be-
hind in the battle area. As the armies
push forward. there are nowhere any
signs that the Germans intend max

ti0n in the rear Of the three armies to
keep pace with the advance. although
what has been done so far will sound
almost incredible when it may be
told

British third army had within Is
hours made an average advance OF
more than four miles and the
fourth army from one 10 three
miles. while the first army north
