Mont Kemmel, the height dominating virtually all the northern side of the Lys salient in Flanders, is again in the hands of the British. There are evidences that the enemy’s retreat from the Lys salient is being accelerated, the British having taken Bailleul as well as Mount Lille to the east, and being in possession of the bank of the Lawe river from Vielle Chapelle to Lostre, on the southern side of the salient. In certain vital sectors of this battle area the British gained from one to two miles during the day from Soissons to Arras. A desperate attempt of the seems to have brot a pause for the moment. At only two points, southeast of Arras and northwest and north of Peronne, Allies moved ahead. In the former sector north of the Arras-Cambrai road the British have occupied St. Servins farm close to the highway and have moved into the village of Eterpigny on the northeast. This village is on the east bank of the Sensee river and its capture marks the passage of that small but important waterway at a vital point, The British official statement says the town of Clery, which is located on the Somme to the northwest of Peronne has been taken from the Germans. Advices reaching London today also stated that Ment. St. Quentin, a mile and a half north of Peronne, has been captured by the British. This report would seem to indicate that Peronne is being surrounded by the the British, Haig’s men having forced their way across the Somme to the south of Peronne yesterday. Hard fighting is going on north of Soissons. Americans and French are striving to capture the high plateau that domi- nates the Aisne and the Ailette valleys, and are also endeavor- ing to force their way further toward Coucy le Chateau, an im- portant concentration point between the Oise and Ailette. The | Germans are fighting hard in this sector and appear to have | checked the Allies for the time being. Famous Stronghold Southwest Ypres Falls to the British [By Assoeliated Prean) * LONDON, Aug, 31. (1:10° py m.)—Mount’Kemmell, the famous stronghold southwest of Ypres, which was the scene of terrific fighting ‘in the \German offensive in’ Flanders late in April has been captured by the British, according to advices from the front. Mont St:.Quinton, a mile and a half north of | Peronne, was also taken by Haig. , The French made a small advance on the Ailette, occupy- ing the southern outskirts of a wood 500 yards southwest of Coucy le Chateau. In the Lys salient the British hold Lacouture and Lesterma, and are west of Doulieu, at Nooteboom. General Haig’s forces progressed a mile and a half east of Bailleul. [By Unitea LONDON, Aug. 31.—The British today captured Mont St. Quentin, only a mile north of Peronne. The city is thus practi- cally surrounded. The British occupied Kemmel hill, the prin- cipal enemy bulwark in northwestern Flanders, which the Ger- mans captured months ago after one of the bloodiest battles of the war. The British are advancing along practically the whole Flanders front, Field Marshal Haig reported today. They have progressed from one to two miles, captured the Bailleul railway station and Mont Delille, advancing from Kemmel to Neuf Berguin. They have also occupied Vielle Chapelle, Lostram and Plouvay and occupied a thousand yards of the German front line north of Arleux en Gohelle, entering Dranoutre. Australians are attacking west of Peronne, approaching the city along the north bank of the Somme. English occupied Eterpigny in the Arras region and are advancing along the Arras-Cambrai road. IBy United Press) PARIS, Aug. 31.—The French are reported in the vicinity of Guiscard, an important town midway north of Ham. ‘They are also approaching Chauny, the great railway center. The French are advancing east of the Ailette river, reach- ing within a half mile of Coucy le Chateau...
