British Headquarters in France, Aug. 23.—The British gf- fensive so vigorously resumed on Wednesday morning, has spread so rapidly that it is difficult to keep pace with the development of it. What is now being witnessed is the unfolding of the brilliant tactical scheme which must beausing the deepest concern to the German high command. fj : CAPTURE CHUIGNOLLES. With the British Armies in France, Aug, 23.—British troops this morning are reported to have captured Chuignolles, and Hefle- ville, south of the-Somme river. More than a thousand prisoners were taken in this operation, which eliminates the bend in the line. Field Marshal Haig’s forces also are reported to have taken Boyles and: Boiry-Becquerelle, and to be still pushing forword. They are piling up prisoners and guns. : 4 The British havg reached Gomiecourt, which is considered to the be the chief point of the German defense positons. South of Gomiecourt, the British this morning were at- tacking and pushing forward all along the line. ' A battle has de- veloped which seems to be one of the greatest of all the war. The British troops pressing on are crossing the Bray-Albert road. Happy Valley to the north of Bray was taken by Field Marshal Haig’s troops after hard fighting. Three German battalion head- quarters have been taken below Happy Valley. A number of fresh new German divisions have been identified. They were rushed up in the hope of saying something of the disaster which threatens the whole German army on this front. ‘ | CROSS. OISE RIVER an Paris, Aug. 23.—French troops have crossed the Oise river the outskirts of the village of Morlancourt, on the north side of the Oise, a mile and a half from, Noyon station. ~ , 50 MILE BATTLE FRONT. A battle is raging today in France on one of the widest fronts of the war. e Y Everywhere, according to news here, the battle has been going successfully for the allies. ; < The British third army has gained more than a mile on a front of seven'miles. The British foruth army has gained more than two miles on a front of seven miles and has taken 1500 prisoners today. The third army captured more than 500 prisoners on the town of Gomiecourt alone. * * ; News from the scene of the great struggle would seem to in- dicate the British have plunged deep into the vital positions held Germans. Ys the exact line as it now stands cannot Ze given but some of the positions taken by the British are-almost a mile within the positions where the Germans stood yesterday. At some points the British have penetrated more than two miles. | ‘ When it is realized that the fighting on this front is along the lines which were strongly entrenched by the Germans and-held by them before the British offensive on Albert in 1916, the true sig- nificance of this advance can better be appreciated.
