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.

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

Resumption of an offensive movement

in conjunction with the British campaign
in Mesopotamia was announced

Farther north on the Caucasian

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.

Record Breaking Lot of Blind

Near Charleston.
?The seizure of an al
most record-breaking quantity of 4
whiskey and beer by a squad from
the local constabulary force on Folly
Island, about 23 miles from here,
Wednesday afternoon, was announced
by Chief Constable S. C. Duncan yesterday
morning. The whiskey was
landed from the Ashley river at West
point about midnight Wednesday i
night and from there was tran*ffortrd
to the headquarters of the constabulary
department on Cpurt House
square. There were 94 kegs of the ^
contraband and each keg contained ^
i four and one-half gallons. Five dozen 5
bottles of beer also were seized on )
this sortie. Figuring at low estimates ;
the alcoholics are adjudged to be j
valued at approximately $3,400.
Chief Duncan received information
several days ago to the effect that a
boat load of whiskey was procc^nJing j
from .Jacksonville to Chai^sl<tfn,%dl i
at once dispatched an expeditionary
squad to rcconnoiter the various ^
coast vicinities and adjacent island > ^
