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.

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.

That the sfurprise was complete is

Hard Fighting Continues With

HARD BLOWS STRUCK

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

v/ere scored but Bourlon wood and
Moeuvres still remained in German

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.
