tured from Them

London, Aug. 81 An attack on a
wide front Of the Ancre river was
launched by the British this morning,
says the official statement from Field
Marshal Haig to-day. Satisfactory prog
ress is being made, the statement adds.
Tuesday afternoon the British threw
back strong German attacks against the
new British positions south and north of
the Searpe.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-08-21

In making an attack it would appear
that Marshal Foch is striving to break
the old German line in the Arras area.
ANY considerable forward movement
here would menace the German positions
north and south for many miles. Strate-
gieally, blow here would seem to be a
companion one to the French offensive
south of the oise and strong attempt
to force the Germans to retire all along
the line.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 2l.-A German
submarine late yesterday seized the big
fishing trawler Triumph. The crew, who
have reached shore safely, said they be-
lieve the Germans intend to use the
trawler as raider. The fishermen re-
ported that the U.boat is''playing havoc"
with the feet of fishing vessels on the
Grand Banks.
The Triumph was halted on the fish
ing banks by the U-boat and the crew
was permitted TO take TO the dories.
The fishermen said the trawler still was
afloat when they last saw her. An armed
guard Of Germans had been placed aboard
and no preparations were being made to
sink the ship, the Triumph's men said.
This led to the conclusion that the Ger
mans intended to use her as a raider.
The Triumph is owned by the North
Atlantic Fisheries company and is one
Of the crack boats Of the feet.

a large part Of the fighting was with

always had great numbers, and at
times the German enfilading fire was
terrific. The French artillery and ma

emy.

SUPPLY SERVICE SMASHED
Allied Airmen Do Good Work Behind
German Lines.


The effective work of allied airmsn
in harassing the German supply ser
vice is described by the newspaper Les
Nouveles Of The Hague, which says
that allied aviators recently sank in
one day twenty-five Belgian boats
laden with gravel and road metal for
the German front in Picardy. The ves-
sells at the time were IL kilometres
from the enemy rear line. The news
paper adds:
Three weeks ago the Luxemberg
bridge at Namur was again badly
damaged by aircraft. Two arches
were destroyed and one boat sunk.
The movement Of vessels to the front
never has been so intense as since the
opening Of the German offensive and
the destruction and devastation
wrought by allied airmen never has
been so great
Roads have been cut up so that the
Germans experienced great difficulty
in bringing up sufficient material to
fill the craters.
Les Nouvelles ascertains that 1t was
bombs dropped by allied aircraft that
destroyed a railway station in the
province Of Hainaut, Belgium, on
March 90. A munitions train Of sixty
freight cars was in the station and
forty Of the cars blew up in success
sion, killing and wounding many Ger
mans.
Rigorous measures were taken i'm
mediately to keep onlookers away
from the scene of the disaster. A
German officer estimated the loss in
shells at 1000, 900 marks.
