British hands this morning in the
Villeret sector, southwest Of LIE
Catelet.
+ Forty guns were captured by the
British yesterday. In the 5000
prisoners taken % German regiments
in II divisions were represented.
An assault delivered by the Aus
| tralians at II o'clock last night in
| the, center Of the Villeret sector
forced the stubborn1y resisting Ger
mans to pull back from their ad-
vanced line to strongly fortified de-
lenses in the rear.
Furious enemy counter attacks de-
livered at numerous places along the
| line late yesterday resulted in SAN
culinary fighting. In every case the
Germans were thrown back and their
| losses were exceedingly heavy.
More than 800 prisoners including
IS officers were taken by the British
in the midnight fighting.
In addition to capturing forty guns
the British took many machine guns
and trench mortars.
A most bloody contest came just
before dusk in the region southwest
of Havrincourt. a little north of the
main battle. Here the Germans
threw in six divisions SUPPORTED by
forty batteries. They were COM
pletely repulsed and their casualties
were extremely heavy.
The opposition to the British as
sault varied. At many points the
enemy fought to the last ditch while
at others he surrendered freely.
The moral effect Of the British
tanks was great.
Numbers of grey coats surrendered
on sight of them before the land
dreadnaughts fired a shot.
It was late in the afternoon before
the Germans began to make serious
counter attacks when all the infan-
try was thrown against strong points
with the greatest determination.
The British Report. fl,
London, Sept. l9.-The British last
night made further progress in their
drive into the Hindenburg line in
the st. Quentin region, aimed at the
enlightenment OF that town, accord
ing to Field Marshal Haig's official
statement today.
In a continued advance north Of
Pontruet they reached tibet outpost
positions of the Hindenburg line.
The Austrians renewed their attacks
and carried the Hindenburg outposts.
Many prisoners and a number of ma
chine guns were taken by them.
The town of~Lernpire was captured
as was Gauche wood. (Lempire is
four miles directly west Of LIE
Catelet.)
The Germans late yesterday start
ed heavy bombardment on the
northern part Of the battle front
southwest Of Cambria, between Gou-
zeaucourt and the Arras- Cambria
road. The fire was Of extreme in
tensity.
The enemy followed his lombard
ment by a strong infantry attack on
a wide front northward from the
vicinity of Trescault. He was COM
pletely repulsed at all points with
great loss.
He was likewise driven off with
heavy casualties shortly afterward
when he launched strong attack
