curry CAPTURED

London, Aug. 12-(By the Associa-
ted Press)--The allies have captured
the town of Curry on the right flank
of the Somme battle front, according
TO news from the front this evening.
The French war Office in Sunday
mornings statement announced that
the French had reached the outskirts
of Curry. This town is an important
point on the Lassigny Massif, within
two miles of Lassigny itself, which is
the immediate French objective in
this sector, possession of which would
be likely to cause a considerable re-
trement by the Germans both to the
east and the west on this end of the
battle line.
On the south of the battle front the
French have not vet reached the crest
Of the Lassigny Massif, possession of
which would put the Germans both to
the north and to the south in uncom-
Portable pockets.
On the whole front nothing is seen
yet by the experts to indicate that
the Germans intend to hold their
present line, which is not n good one
militarily, although they occupied
almost the same line for a long time
two years ago.
The French have their eyes on
Lassigny, about three miles in front
OF their present line for possession
o. this town would virtually compel
considerable German Withdrawals
for long stretches on both sides.
Paris. Aug. 12-French troops have
captured the town of Curry, about
eight and half miles south of Roye,
according to the French official com
munication issued today.
Two counter attacks against the posi-
tons held by the French and Americans
on the vesle river near Flsmes have
been repulsed
The text of the communcat ton fol-
lows:
Between the Avre and the Disc our
troops have captured the village of
Curry. We have made some progress

FRESH GAINS MADE
{By the Associated Press)


Although the Germans are en-
ploying fresh forces of reserves in
efforts to hold back the allied troops
who are passing them from the re-
gion of the Somme to the Disc, the
Americans, British and French arm
les continue to make progress.
Monday witnessed gains of ground
at various points along the battle
front of the high Importance in the
endeavors of the allies to drive out
the Germans from the old Amiens-
Montdidier sector.
After an extremely bitter contest
the Americans and British have
gained a foothold IN the important
little town of Bray Sur Somme, on
the north bank of the Somme. A
short distance across the river to the
south the British have taken Proyart
and midway of the line have pressed
on to the east of Fouques- court in a
maneuvre which has resulted in the
further outfla mixing Of Chaulnes from
the SoAt' r X from the north.
On their r ne roll
ing count lartn Cf the
Disc river n. aap, ired Curry po-
sition of great strategic value lying
southwest of Lassigny and at several
other positions southwark to the re-
gion of the Disc have advanced their
line further toward Noyon.
In Mondays lighting hundreds of ad-
ditonal Germans were made prisoners
and the enemy also lost heavily in men
killed and wounded. Unofficial reports
give the number of Germans captured
during the present offensive as in the
neighborhood of 10000 Germans at last
accounts were still throwing out REIN
forcements to the east of the road run
ming through Chaulnes, Roye and Eoy-
on. the passage of which r. the Allies
would seriously menace all the German
forces inside the pocket formed by the
Somme on the north and east and the
Disc on the south. Not alone are the
Allies erdeavoring to press their advan-
tage by frontal attacks, but they have
drawn up to their back lines guns of
these they are heavily Smelling the
areas held by the Germans even as far
back as Bethencourt, which lies on the
Somne seven and a hilf miles east OF
| Chaulnes. Meantime allied airplanes
continue to lombard positions and to
use machine guns from low attitudes
on troop formations.
Evidently the advance by the
| French troops on the southern part
of the line cannot but have an eX-
tremely important effect on the pres
cnt battle. The hill positions they
have gained not alone dominate the
valley running northeastward to
Noyon but around Lassigny also give
them a sweep of the plains south of
Roye.
Aside from the Amiens -Mcntddier
sector little fighting has take n place
on any of the fronts. Along the Vesle
the Germans again have delivered
violent counter attacks against the
Americans and French who are hold
ing ground on the north bank of the
stream. AS on previous occasions
when the enemy attempted to dis
! lodge the allied troops the counter at
| tacks failed.
British aircraft have brought down
German airship off the coast Of
Holland. according to an statement
by the British admiralty. An I'M
official report announces that Yep
pelin of the largest and newest type
has been brought down off the Eng
liSh east coast
