Hun Reinforcement Fail To Check Drive BRITISH COMMANDER LAUNCHES BLOW NORTH OF OLD BATTLE ZONE. - While the Germans were busily engaged! in defending themselves against the attacks of the French and British armies from the Ancre river to the region of Soissons, Field Marshal Haig early Monday morning .struck another surprise blow over a new front north of the old battle zone. The new offensive was launched from the east of Arras on the Scarpe river and southward to the All alnnor fho front, the Brit UUJCU1. WIViig V*?w ?- ? ? ish pressed forward, at some places! to a depth of more than two miles and captured a half dozen or more Preux, Guemappe and Wancourt. Across the Cojeul the new British attacks on the old batle front brought them to the villages ofMory and St. Leegr, and farther south the small I town of Favreuil one and a half miles % northeast of Bapaume, from which ithe British pressed on eastward aj bout a mile. Farther south the BritI ish are reporten unofficially to have reached the western outskirts of Tilloy in the pipper movement they are carrying out against Bapaume. With Haig's men now standing well within the gun range of the town, it seems i likely that the Germans will be forced to evacuate Bapaume in short order. Additional gains also have been i ; made by the British east of Albert I j and on both sides of the Somme rivI er.In fact, notwithstanding the ef-j ! farts of the Germans through the r I I of large reinforcements to hold them i in check the British and French all j alon gthe line from Albert to Soisj sons have materially bettered their positions and carried further forward their plan of making the PicarmwWMWtfiwmimimiiMMwmiiiUMMiMunmttmHiiimnMnnitHMHumwuiiHUHiimtttuinHuia MHMMMMMMMMailMMIMRMMMMMMMmiMMMMMIMNnNUIttMltlliaillllllllJNtllftlf ^ i ; % SODAS I I Soft Drinks s! ) TO f! ? |?

The French again are hammering away at the envrons of Roye, one ofi the strong points of the Somme-Oisej front, the(capture of which doubtless' would cause the givingup by the enemy of the entire salient from the Somme in the north to Noyon-Fresnoyles-Roye to the north and St. Mard to the south of Roye, both have been captured by the French despite the desperate resistance of the Germans and Roye,like Bapaume, in the north is apparently in danger of being pinched out of the line in the enveloping movement. More than six hundred prisoners were taken by the French in the operations. The Germans have thrown further heavy counterattacks against the French in the region north of Soissons, where the French continue their pressure northward in maneuvers which seriously threatened to out-' flank the Chemin-des-Dames and Laon sections and put the entire German line from Ypres to Rheims in jeopard. All the attacks have been -ustained by General Mangin's army and the French have even pushed] back the Germans beyond the points trom which they started. The famous Prussian guard has been thrown into the battle to check the French, but, as in'their efforts against the It I ALWAY % ~"'V ?
