Kitchener’s Men Sweep Cver Positions of Strategic Importanceâ€"Word's Greatest Artillery Preparation London despatches on Sunday said: A great allied offensive was inaugur- ‘ ated Saturday morning on both sides of the River Somme. British and French launched their assaults simul- taneously on a front of about 25 miles ' and immediately captured the first line of German positions on the entire front attacked and seized many vil- lages. The Battle of the Somme marks the opening of the Franco- Britiah offensive. long expected as a critical if not the decisive stage of the war. The drive is distinctly a British undertaking. the French oper- ations taking the form of a support- ing movement to make secure the British right flank, which any con- siderable advance would lay open to attack. Kitchener’s army was having its first chance.‘ -___~Ar‘ In addition to the military successes '- the terrain overrun by the Entente 1: allied troops has an exceptional stra- C tegic importance. Four of the towns captured by the French are only seven C miles west of Peronne. the chief rail 1 highway from the German centre at Cologne to the German front in the region of Noyon and Soissons. The 1 German headquarters is at St. Quen- 1 tin, 25 miles southeast of Peronne. 1 The fighting lines extend between : a great number of small villages 4 which are usually devoted to textile : industries, while the outlying agri- cultural sections are level fields chief- ly devoted to beet culture for the extensive sugar production of France. The allies threw up strong earthworks around the villages taken in order to protect them against counter-attacks. All Ready! E The intense bombardment of the ‘ receding four days was the signal or an advance over the level fields. beginning at 7.30 o’clock Saturdayi morning. The allied artillery then' lengthened the range so as to shut off all communication between the first German line and the German re- serves. Beginning at 6 o‘clock Satur- day morning. the bombardment, which had been incessant for five days from I Ypres to the Somme. was concentrated with unprecedented intensity on the 20 miles from a point just above He- buterne to the River Somme. A de- vastating fire covered every foot of ground from the German wire en- tanglements to their second line. The . protecting wires blown away and their communication trenches destroyed. At half-past seven o’clock to the minute the range of all the guns was extended beyond the first line, and the most impenetrable curtain of fire yet seen on a battlefield fell in front of the second line. At the same min- ute the infantry. which had been held in readiness for the assault for most of the night. jumped over the parapets and with wild cheers dashed across “ ’o Man’s Land” and in wave after wave crossed the demolished earthworks which had opposed them in this region for more than a year and a half. Officer patrols preceded flu: attacks to hold the waves where I‘JJMPH AT SOMME BRITISH GAS GERMANS FOR FRANCO=BEITZ"-._ AND ENTER TRENCHES and a half.

As British See It The first batch of wounded from e British front in France arrived at I g Cross station in London on a Sunday evening. An enormous crowd assembled at the station cheering and ‘ waving flags. London papers, how- ‘ l i i 1 i ever, are reserved, refusing to admit whether a big feint is being made or the “big push” commenced. A wound- ed man said that battalions had re- hearsed their parts for weeks and that wonderful precautions to keep the preparations secret had been maintained. Correspondents recount thrilling exploits of the fighting and i write of cheerfulness of all ranks ly- ; ing in reserve on Friday night. All i agree that the battle is bound to con- 2 tinne with great intensity. ‘: Nearing Objective i London despatches on Monday i night said: The third day of the:l powerful Franco-British offensive on i the Somme is a record of continued 9 advances and striking new successes. 1 The French army of General Foch‘ operating south of the river, has brok- en completely through the second German defence line for a distance of three miles, and is within four miles of Peronne. key position of the German front for 100 miles, and the objective of its drive. The British to the north have occupied La Boiselle, made further field gains and brought their number of captives to 4,000. To« night they are fighting furiously around Ovillers and north of Fricourt. The German losses to date are set at 20,000 killed and wounded and more A An.

North of the river the allies spent the day in consolidating the ground gained. and the Germans were content to prepare against renewed attacks. The arrival of heavy Ger- man reinforcements was reported to- day. Many of these already have been thrown into the battle before Peronne and on the British front. Summing up the situation, General Hal; to-night reports “substantial pro- gress.” The most important British gain was the capture of the village of La Boiselle, where a German gar- rison had held out for three days.

Who Lose Heavily The British official statement issued 1 Thursday night 'read: “During the last . twentyiour hours a large number of our reconnoitring md raiding parties entered the enemy’s trenches at var- ious points along the entire front of the British army. ' All these enterâ€" prises were successful in achieving their object: Inflicting heavy casual- ties on the Germans and capturing prisoners and war stores. In several instances our troops remained for a considerable period in the German lines, repelling counter-attacks across the open. One of these enterprises ,took place after the discharge of gas. iOur troops, entering the German ~AL‘A “cum vus unvvru, _,. trenches. found a considerable num- ber of dead. Our casualties were in- significant. The artillery of both sides has been active along the front. Hos- tile trenches were much damaged in manv places. The intermittent dis- char\‘ of smoke and gas has aroused the ativities of the enemy’s guns and caused him to disclose his battery positions.” All the London newspapers print lengthy accounts of the extravagant use of shells by the British forces in France and Flanders. The Daily Mail says: “The Germans are answering ‘ “ J Ann ‘17011 “JD.

At no point has there been any permanent change in position. The ground almost every- where is deep in mud, and the trench- es full of water and while the British ? have harried the enemy badly, no attempt has been made in any of the raids to hold or consolidate ground won. Our object at all points has been to inflict local losses, in which we/have been very successful." “Hour For Action Here” Premier Briand returned to Paris ‘Monday after a conference with the i British Commander, Sir Douglas H943. on Saturday and Sunday, at the British front.
