THE ALLIED OFFENSIVE.

Strongly Fortified German Work Falls,

[Beuter's Service 15 The "Telegraph."]

the

September 19, 2,20, a.m. General Sir Douglas Haig, says that south of the Auere we medo another important advance to-day on strongly fortified German work between Bouleaux Wood and Ginchy, which is styled The Quadrilaterial," and which has hitherto, resisted our efforts. It fell completely into our hands resulting in the advance of our line to a depth of a thousand yards on a front of a mile. Seven machine guns and numerous prisoners were taken in this most successful operation. The enemy counter-attacks north of Flers were driven back with loss and we progressed. Hostile troops massing for a counter-attack at Lens Boueuis Lnd Morval were caught by artillery and dispersed. The following additional, guns have been captured since Septem- ber 18, five heavy howitzers, two field guas, three heavy and three light trench mortars and a number of machine guns. Ten German officers and 500 men have been captured within the last twenty-four hours. There was considerable serial activity yesterday several enemy machines being driven down. Four of our machines are missing.

Enemy's Colossal Losses.

September 19, 250 a.m. Reuter's correspondent at Headquarters says the fea ture of the fighting on September 15 and 16 was the colossal losses of the enemy, which are undoubtedly a record for a battle of similar duration. Enemy dead observed on a wide front on Friday evening out-numbered those of the British by eight to one." Whole trenches were literally paved with corpses.

A German Tribute.

September 19, 6,25 a.m,

The German-American correspondent, Carl Wiegand, has been permitted to cable to New York from Berlin that it is most probable that the Germans on the Somme had to retreat at various points, as the result of a "tremendous and splendidly executed Anglo-French attack."

He says it will not be surprising if Peronne, and Combies fall to the Allies.

.A QUIET RUSSIAN REPORT.

September 18, 2.55 p.m.

A Russian communique says on the western Russian front there is nothing important. In the Canensis, the“ Turkish attacks in the region of the village of Adisa wero nepulsed.
