.FRENCHNEN AIDED
BY BELGIAN HEROES
MERcKEM PENINSULA is CAP.
TURED BY THE ALLIES AFTER
MOST SPECTACULAR ADVANCE
Battled Forward over Morasses in
Which Soldiers Sank to Armpits.-
Austro- Germany Army Shakes En-
tire Italian Line.

Parls-The French advance in Bel
GUM continues, the war office reports.
German positions were stormed Sun
day night and more prisoners were
taken.
The entire Mercllum peninsula, near
Dixmude, has been captured by the
entente forces according to the Brit
ish official communication issued Sun
day evening. The communication adds
that additional prisoners also have
been taken.
The story of the highly important
victory won by the French and Bel
gian armies over the marshlands of
Flanders Sunday is the record of ii
spectacular military operation, which
before its completion would have been
branded as impossible by the average
expert. 1t Is story of men who bat
tied their way forward over morasses
and through water into which they
sank literally to their necks at times,
and with rife and cold steel conquered
the enemy in Il large and vital strip
of territory which includes within its
borders such places as kippe, Merck
EN-, Aschhoope, Verbrandesmis and
EoStermolen.
The striking feature of the perform
ance lies in the part played by the Bel
gians in the drive. When the poilus
reached the nelghborhood of Luyghem
in the afternoon and began their as
saut on this place the Belgians, who
were watching from their lines across
the floods, joined in and numbers Of
them, piling into the ferries, poled
their way to the eastern shore and
hurled themselves on the Germans con-
gion north of Luyghem, with such
good effect that they quickly captured
this entire northern tip of the So
called Luyghem peninsula.
The Austro- German army under the
command of Emperor Charles, who
has as his chief assistant the bril-
liant field marshal, Won Mackensen,
are shaking the entire Italian line from
the Julien Alps region to the Adriatic
sea. Pressing back the Italians at
several points on Italian soil, the COM
bined enemy forces now have pushed
forward on the Italian left wing and
captured Cividale, lying to the north
east of Udine, and are nearing the
plains beyond. In addition, the Aus
TRAN town of Gorilla, point of great
strategic value on the Isonzo river,
has been retaken from the Italians.
According to the latest Berlin Of
fetal communication, 100000 Italians
have been made prisoners and in ex-
cess of 700 guns have fallen into Aus
tro-German hands. The second and
third Italian armies are declared to
be in retreat. Rome admits the falling
back of the second army, asserting
that cowardice similar to that shown
by the Russians in Galicia, was exhib-
tied in the face of the foe. the Ital-
ians surrendering or retreating with
out giving battle. permitting the break
ing of the left wing and thereby offer
ing easy access to the town of Civil
dale.
