Hun Reinforcement Fail To Check Driv BRITISH COMMANDER LAUNCI iES BLOW NORTH OF OLD BATTLE ZONE. While the Germans were busily ei gagedf in defending themselves f gainst the attacks of the French ar British armies from the Ancre riv< to the region of Soissons, Field Ma shal Haig early Monday mornir struck another surprise blow over new front north of the old batt zone. The new offensive was launc] ed from the east ofArras on tl Scarpe river and southward to tl Cojeul. All along the front the Bri ish pressed forward, at some plac< o a depth of more than two mil< and captured a half dozen or moi Preux, Guemappe and Wancourt. Across the Cojeul the new Britis ittacks on the old batle front brougl ;hem to the villages ofMory and S Leegr, and farther south the sma ;own of Favreuil one and a half mile lortheast of Bapaume, from whic ;he British pressed on eastward i jout a mile. Farther south the Bril sh are reporten unofficially "to hav eached the western outskirts of Ti oy in the nipper movement they ar :arrying out against Bapaume. Wit laig's men now standing well withi ;he gun range of the town, it seem ikely that the Germans will be for< ?d to evacuate Bapaume in short oi ler. Additional gains also have bee nade by the British east of Albei md on both sides "?f the Somme rh ir.ln fact, notwithstanding the ei arts of the Germans through the ' >f large reinforcements to hold ther n check the British and French a ilon gthe line from Albert to Sois ;ons have materially bettered thei >ositions and carried further foi vard their plan of making the Picai ly battle ground untenable for th :nemy. mi?

Japanes troops are completing their concei tration on the Ussuri front, accor< ing to dispatches from Vladivosto! A.t Engeneuka, sailors supported b armored cars? attacked the Bolshev ki forces in the face of heavy a tillery fire and routed them. The strike at Vladivostok is te minating in a fiasco as striking la orers have been paid off and Chine: substituted for them. At the arsen shops a serious clash between stri ers and non-strikers occurred but a lied patrols intervened. The dispat< says that the Bolshevik agitation mang various elements of workm< is subsiding. It is reported that Americans ha1 privately loaned the city of Vla( vostok 3,500,000 rubles, taking tl tramways as security.
