(12:30 p. m.)—General Humbert’s army is making steady progress today in the region of Guiscard and Ham. Advices from the battlefront say the town of Ham vir- tually has been taken by the French forces. Four-Mile Advance Made by the British in Drive for St. Quentin WITH THE BRITISH 'IN FRANCE, Sept. 6. (Noon.)— (By Associated Press.)—Australian troops crossed the Somme on a wide front south of Peronne. The British captured the towns of St. Christ, Brie, Le Mesnil, Doingt and Athies and are advancing eastward. Along the whole front from its southern extremity to the Bapaume-Cambrai road the fire of the enemy’s big guns is dwindling. This indicates that the Germans are making stren- ugus efforts to get their artillery behind the Hindenburg de- en: ses. The British today captured more posts around Havrincourt wood. In many places north of the Sensee river, the Germans are firing thousands of gas shells indiscriminately. West of La Bassee the British reached Canteleux and are pushing to- ward Voilaines..
