READY FOR ANOTHER FORWARD PLUNGE Byng's Men Have Nearly Completed Occupation of Bour^ Ion Wood. News of Saturday says that while * standing off German counter attacks Ih-itish forces have consolidated their Kuiua emu arc prepared lor another plunge toward Cambrui, General Byng's men are just west of Fontaine Notre Dame, less than three miles west of Cambrai, and have nearly completed the occupation of Bourlon wood, just north of Fon** taine, and which dominates thc en.mire region. Fontaine Notre . Dame was the scene of the heaviest fighting yesterday. Wednesday night the village was captured by the British, hut a strong German counter attack Thursday drove the British to the western outskirts. The village is the apex of the wedge which the British have driven toward Cambrai, and which includes approximately fifty square miles of territory formerly within the German lines. The Germans 4ire reported to be rushing up receives for countar attacks. Queant Threatened. Cambrai nrnhnhlv h:?? lo?t il? n?r?_ fulness as the Gorman supply base in the immediate region, as the city and the three railroads entering it from the north, east and south arc dominated by the British artillery. The new wedge also is a direct menace to Queant, the southern end of the Queant-Drococourt switch line, which held up the British advance east of Arras last Spring. Queant is now within a sharp salient, which has been heightened by the British advances from Bullecourt in the present drive. General Byng's stroke was a masterpiece of organization, according to reports from the front. Many squadrons of tanks cut thiough tin great wire defenses, opening the way for the infantry and the cavalry, which passed through rapidly to tinlast defensive line before Cuvnbrai. {The transportation service kept pace with the advance, the construction of roads and railroads, Field Marsha!

BIG BRITISH EFFORT IN CAMBRAI BATTLE Hard Fighting Continues With General Byng Pushing on With Vim HARD BLOWS STRUCK FOR BOURLAN WOOD j I English May Have Wrestler)! This Important Point From Germans. News of Sunday says hard fighting continued in the battle of Cumbrai Saturday with the British pushing determinedly northward on the Fontaine-Queant line west of Cumbrai. Unofficial reports later in the day indicated the probability that General Byr.g's troops had wrested possession of "the hotly disputed Bourlon wood from the Germans and hud recaptured the town of Moeuvres. Tinvillage of Fontaine, less than thi cc inies from Cumbrai was reported in flames, suggesting the probability of line while still pushing his encircling movement of Cumbrai to tiie north, and east. Friday's British attacks wore chief !y delivered on this same front. Gains v/ere scored but Bourlon wood and Moeuvres still remained in German i>. I?i - iiuimn. i>a> 11ii wujis mm uveii captured Bourlon village, t() the north of the wood. Berlin's official statement indicates, but were driven back by a strong German counter thrust. The British have pushed considerably to the northwest' of MoeuVres, howver, and are hammering at Inchy, which the Germans aie battling determinedly to retain. The Italians have now completed a successful two weeks' defense of their Brave line and the northern front protecting its flanfc. Although they have had to yield ground during this time on the front between the upper Piave and the Asiago plateau their defensive line remains unbroken. The Italian Fourth army under General Robilunt was on the aggressive between the Piave and tho Brenta on Friday, while the First army beat off heavy attacks between the Asiago plateau and the Brenta and the Third army foiled fur ther efforts by the Austro-German forces to bridge the Piave with pontoons. In Palestine the British are closing in on Jerusalem, heir official state ments claiming added interest be- j cause of their increasingly frequent i mention of Biblical names. The site of the ancient Mizpah, some eight1 uilo3 west of Jerusalem, was carried I by storm. Northwest of the city the British were still closer, but then mounted troops near Beit Unia, in this sector, were foieed hack a short distance by a strong- Turkish counterattack. o We are fighting now to keep the war from our own soil. It is a great thing to fight for. fit1 HelpslM I There can be no doubt I as to the merit of Cardui, 1 I the woman's tonic, in I the treatment of many VjV troubles peculiar to r+1 women.
