Harassing of the German lines in
the west shows no signs OF letting
UP and the allies continue to gain
ground here and there and bring in
large patches Of German prisonera.
The game of striking the enemy
solid blow in a small sector now has
been taken up on the British front
and an advance of a mile and half
on a width Of four miles, with the
capture of 1900 prisoners south Of
the Semme, testifies to the hitting
powers of the Australians, aided by
American detaehments. German OF"
forts TO hold the attacking Austral"
ians and Americans, who have ap-
peared on this part Of the line for
the first time, were In vain. The
enemy made no improvement in the
counter attacks, and contents himself
with bombarding the new allied Po-
sitions.
Between the Disc and the Aisne,
where the latest French blow aained
considerable ground and moro than
1000 prisonera, the Germans have
not attempted counter thrusts. Here
also, the enemy artillery has been
the only means of retaliation for the
ground and prisoners lost. The Ger
mans have given up their counter
attack and heavy gun fire against
the new American position west OF

past week is nearly 5000.
Almost without exception, Berlin
has declared officially that the al
lied attacks were repuIsed. Ii claims
that the French thrust north Of the
Aisne was broken up in the front

which were frustrated. On the ItaI-
