THE ALLIED VICTORIES.

Heavy German Lomes.

London, Aug.

Rauter's correspondent at French Headquarters says: A feature of Sunday's fighting with General Mancin'a army was a German attempt to oust the French from the beights ba tween Juvikur and Creceaumont, The French at first yielded a little ground, but recovered it by a brilliant counter-attack, The Germans later made other futile attacks and lost heavily as a result of the French inachine-gunning and artillery" barrage. The battle-field was covered with German corpees.

We have traversed Mout Auben sad captured the High Wood, The New Zealar dem have fought their way foresly to the northern outskirts of Bapaume while the Australians are progressing towards Dompierre and eastward of Suzanne.

At three o'clock this morning Canadians, Scottish and Londoners attacked on both sides of the Scape from Crois- alles to the neighbourhood of Gavrelle, On the south bank the Canadians attacked gallantly, passed through the enemy's forement defences and captured Orange Hill. In their first rush the Canadiana; despite rainstorms, soon reached Wan court and Monchy-le-Preux, capturing both and progressing -beyond them. North of the Scarpe the Soots captured the first German, defenose south of Garrelle, reached the out- skirts of Roeux and captured the chemical works north thereof Soots and Londoners completed the capture of the high ground between Croiselles and Heninel taking many

Further north the English advanced in the direction of Mont Auban. The Weisn captured Bazentin-de-Grand Our-pressure every- where has been maintained and the line advanced in certain sectors.

French Progress increased.

London, Aug. 27.

A French communique says: South of the Avre this morning we increased our progress in the region of St. Mard after repelling several counter-attacks. During yesterday we took prisoner eleven nundred, including thirty-six officers. Between the Oise and Aisce yesterday a German counter attack west of Chavigny failed We advanced our line twelve hundred metres east of Bagneux.

Severe Fighting on British Front.

London, Aug. 27:

In the afternoon Sir Douglas Haig reports: There was severe figating on" Monday afternoon and evening between Mari- court and Bapaume and also northward of that town. The enemy counter-attacked repeatedly in strength, incurring great losses Eroin our fire, but was unable to arrest our pro- gress. The English and Weish pushed through Mont Auban and along the crest of the ridge, capturing High Wood and reaching Longueva. Here a heary counter-attack at 6,30 in the evening forced us buck towards Bazentin-le-Grand and High Wood On this line we broke up the enemy's attack and, again, advancing, established ourselves well east- ward of High wood "zarly in the night the enemy counter- actacted a second time and was driven oft by ride are betors remnung vor pumpions.

Great Possibilities.

"

Paris, Ang 27. Freach critics all pay a tribute to the great value of the present Britian operacions, especially in pinning down huge enemy forces They point out that Bapaume could have been taken two days ago, but the British prefer to manmuvre the Germans out of it.

Toe well known writer Colonel Fabry shows why it is essential for the enemy to, desperately defend the way to Douai and Cambrai. If the Allies could seize the triangle formed by these towns and Valenciennes and cross the roads of Longwy, Longuyon and Montmedy then practically the whole network of railways which feeds the enemy's prezent front would be cut, which would mean the strangulation of his armies in France.

Excellent Progress. -

London, Aug. 27.′′ Reuter's correspondent at British Headquarters reports: Up to Sunday mgat it is astumeted that the enemy has been forced to use between the Scarpe and Aisne at least seventy divisions since August 8th Two thousand prisoners and some guns have been captured as the result of yesterday's extension of the battle-front norinwards by the attack behind Arras. Our progress is excellent considering the difficulties of ground. Our casualties were very light A few tanks co-operated, but perhaps it partook more of an infantry -battle than any of the recent ughting, North of the Scarpe, we marely adjusted our fank in the course of which the High- Janders occupied the famous Roeux chemical works. The „enemy has withdrawn into the wooden contours eastward of Monchy, where he is stiffening his resistance in favour able detensive country, especially in Bois-du-Bärt and Gijgaw Wood Meanwhile they are now well eastward of the Suzanne Cappy line while northward of the river they have entered Vazz Wood. The enemy, is still in Thilloy and as reported to be an consideravie strength, on the osasero. edge of Bapaume and along the Cambrai road. it is under- stood that at 4.45 this morning some Britashers attacked near Somine Details are at present unavailable.
