mo STORM GERMAN LINES IN BITTER STRUGGLE British Press Forward at Three Important Points and Make Gains BULLECOURT TAKEN AFTER HARD FIGHT Village, lor Days Scene of Sangtiinary Actions, Finally Enterd by British. News of Sunday says that storming the German lines east of Arras along a 12 mile front British troops , . have forced back the Germans at two important points and have established themselves in Bullecourt, the scene of many desperate struggles recently. Heavy losses were inflicted on the Germans and more than 700 prisoners were taken. Without giving the armies of Crown Prnice Rupprecht time to recover after the repulse of tiie inef fectual counterattacks, Field Marshal Haig early Saturday threw his forces against three vital points in the line prottecting Douai and in each place gained his objective. At the southern end of the line was Bullecourt, pro tecting Queant. Here thousands have fallen in attacks and counter attacks in the last two weeks. The battle here lasted for many hours, during which the British firmly placed them selves in the village. Six miles to the north along the Arras-Cambrai road and between the villages of Monchy and Gucmaphe the British straightened out their line by taking 1,200 yards of a German trench system. Around lioeux, north of the Scarpe and at the northern end of the attacking lines, Field Marshal Haig's men captured German positions on a front of about one mile and a half. Fourteen German airplanes were destroyed by the entente forces on Friday. According to the German war off'c 3 dense masses of British troops were employed in delivering a series of attacks along the roads leading from Arras to Lens, Douai and Cambrai. One of the main points of ascnillt V.mr. U ^ D..11_ iiuo 111 tut: viLinuy couvt, which !uis been the scene o*" almost steady fighting for several days. One of the points captured by the British was Cavalry farm on the read between Arras and Cambrai, together with a half mile of trenches 1 orth of it. Farther south the Germans threw a flying wedge against Guillemont farm, northeast of Hargirourt, and captured it, but were thrown out by a British counterattack. The fighting was in progress ;u the Roeux railway station when j the official reports were issued. French artillery continues to bom-' bard the German lines and munition depots along the Aisne front. The Ge rman war office asserts that the i French were driven back at Bovelle j ridge, in the vicinity of Cernay. i There has been a violent artillery <luel nan * Avercourt, on the left bank of the Mouse, on the Verdun front. * Resumption of an offensive movement by the Russian forces operating' in conjunction with the British campaign in Mesopotamia was announced Saturday by the Russian war office.

Farther north on the Caucasian fiord, both Russian and Turkish forces have been on the offensive with alternate advances and retreats. In Macedonia the Servian troops have captured and held against counterattacks several trenches on Dobopolyo heights, east of the Cema river. Signs of renewed activity on the part of the British army invading Palestine are evident. The German admiralty asserts that a British destroyer was sunk in a naval engagement between the Dutch and English coasts on Thursday. Zeerbugge, on the Belgian coast, was heavily bombarded by war ships early Saturday morning. Some people in your own cemmu v itv ar? like the German Kaisor.
