London, Oct. 16. Reuter's correspondent, writing this evening, says: Since the afternoon of Oct 3 we have advanced four to five thou sand yards across Terriere Plateau This morning the line ran säät of Aubencheul-aux-Bois to past the western fringe of Bois-de-Morto, thence westwards to Bonabus Farm, and then north through Nazroy and Le Catelet Farms. From Sequehart we extended our front to Mannequin Hill thence to Nevilles Cross. During the fighting on the Cambrai-St. Quentin front we prisonered down to last night between" eleven and twelve hundred. In Flanders the Germans con- tinue their hard-pressed retirement.
the existing situation in this region is due to the 5th British Army under General Birdwood, of Anzac history, who for long weeks has been harassing and punishing the Germans.
A German Communique,
London, Oct 7.
A wireless German official message says: The enemy, who first gained ground on the Somme Canal towards Essigny-le- Petit, was pressed back on Sunday as far as Bemulcourt. The Americans continued their violent attacks between the Argonne and Meuse. They were beaten back on the heights eastward of the Aisne..
A Substantial Success.
-
London, Oct. 7. Beuter's correspondent at British Headquarters reported on Monday morning: Yesterday was marked by various local affairs between Cambrai and St. Querlin, aggregating a substantial success both territorially and in prisoners. We continue to press. the retreating Germans hard, occasion- ally forcing their rearguards to stand and counter-attack Our progress eastward of the Scarpe constitutes a distinct tactical success. The toughest fighting of the day was at Aubencheul-aux-Bois, where we cleared out the enemy from a series of linked up defences, prisonering four hundred. Between Beaurevoir and Masülieres the enemy continues to resist in strength, but our guns are massed in favourable positions. The French on our right nave driven a deep and broad balge into the enemy's line.
Rheims Delivered.
London, Oct. 7.
A French communique states: Noria of St Quentin the battle continued all day. We captured Remancourt and Tillow Farta and several fortised woods between Mercout and Sequchart. The enemy resisted furiously but failed to arrest the advance of our troops, who conquered the ground foot by foot, taking several hundred prisoners. North of Rheims we reached the Suippe at numerous points The German rearguards on the south bank resisted violently, counter-attacking several times, but we drove them back, indicting sanguinary losses. We hold the southern outskirts of Aguiluurt village and Bertricourt, North of the Suippe we forced a passage east of Rainville and captured Pont Gavart cemetery. Equally severe figating in the region of Bazancourt and Boult-sur-Saippe resulted in our reaching the outskirts of these localities. We debouched from Bethane- ville in the face of violent artillerying and machine-gunning and gained ground also north of St. Clement Aarnes. Our troops in this region endured unflinchingly the severest counter-attack. Our artillery firing over open sights mowed down the enemy battalions. The enemy was compelled to retreat in disorder. Eighting to-day completed the deliver- ance of Rheims, Despite unfavourable weather on Oct. 4 our aviators dropped 13 tons of bombs on concentrations of troops, convoys and batteries, silencing the latter.
