Every where the Germans have lost
heavily in men killed or made prs-
oner and in addition the allied
troops again have captured numerous
guns, machine guns and war stores.
The prisoners taken by the British
from last Wednesday to Monday of
the present week aggregated 1000.
In the fighting Tuesday around ST.
Mard, west of Roye, the French Sc
cured 1.1OO captives.
The Canadian troops are fighting
in lively fashion between the Sensee
and Scarpe rivers. and to them have
fallen numerous German-held villa
aes and many prisoners.
Germans Hold Bapaumc.
Bapaume, one of the strategic
points over which there has been
much heavy fighting, is still held by
the Germans. but the British are so
nearly around it that possibly few OF
the enemy remain inside the she'll
torn town. The British on the west
are in the outskirts OF the place and
doubtless il soon will be nipped out
of the battle line in the pincer move
ment that is being employed against
It,
In the north the British already
are across the upper end OF the old
| Hindenburg line, and il their pro-
gress continues they soon will be
able to operate to the east OF the
line on unscarred ground on which
tanks and cavalry can be brough into
the fray with good results.
Behind the lines everywher,
French and British airmen are har
assing the Germans in retreat, bu
in this work they are being met by
| large forces Of enemy airmen whC
are fighting hard.
On the Vesle front the American.
and Germans are in a rather bitteI
fight in the towns OF Fismette ant
Bazouches. The Americans started
the. trouble at Bazouches and the
Germans reciprocated with an attack
on Fismette. At last accounts the
Americans had the upper hand al
both places.

On his third visit he found that
preparations were proceeding with
redoubled energy. he declared that
the events in the beginning of March

When the demand for men was
made, that which seemed an impos-
sible thing became a living thing al
most as soon as put forward. At
the same time the British found
ships, cost what it may, and whatev-
er else might happen America

the fear that the last few months

COUNTER ATTACKS FAIL
TO HOLD BACK ALLIES
Many Important Towns and Villages
Have Been Taken BY the
British and French
CTucSday.)

FrenZied counter attacks by the
foe have failed to hold back the
British and French armies who are
hard after the Germans on the rs
mile battle front from the north of
Arras to the region of scissors.
All along the front the German
line has given way before the pres
sure of the British and French troops
at points where the falling back of
the enemy or the capture of towns
and roads running eastward adds
greatly to his already serious pre-
dicament from the standpoint of
strategy
Numerous towns, villages and
hamlets have fallen into the hands
of the British and French in the
continuation of the fighting. and
scarcely anywhere along the battle
front have the Germans been able to
do more than delay the allies when
they knock for admittance to the
German line. Rear guard actions al
SO are serving merely to keep the al
lied advance slowed down as far as
possible while the main German bod
les make their way eastward in re-
treat toward new positions.
In the region around Arras the
British now are well astride the
roads leading to Douai and Cambrai
and further south along the Somme
they have pressed forward until they
are almost at the gates OF Peronne.
Between the Somme and the Disc
the French have broken the back
bone OF the German resistance at
Roye, capturing this pivotal point to
an invasion eastward OF the plains
OF Pfcardy and advancing their
lines north and south of the tow5
over a front of about IL 1-2 miles to
a depth of more than two and a half
miles at certain points. =
North of Scissors the French, al
though the Germans are fighting
them bitterly, again have advanced
slightly their line in the outfanking
movement both against the Chemin-
Des-Dames region and the Noyon
