BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Sept. 27.— Haig’s forces at dawn today delivered an attack on a wide front. all troops were in position, the Heavy rain falling during the early hours made work - of assembly more difficult but some time before the “zero hour” rain had ceased and had been replaced by a thick haze, which assisted in bewildering the enemy. _ About 122,000 Germans are understood to be opposing Haig.

[By Associated Press} Under Allied smashes on two wide fronts between Arras and Verdun the German defensive system based on the fortresses of Laon is being shaken severely. Marshal Foch, while continuing the successful Franco- American thrust from east of Rheims to Verdun has hurled the British against the German lines north of Cambrai on a front south of the Sen- see river. Allied successes in Macedonia have resulted in an offer of an armistice from the Bulgarian premier to the Allied generalissimo in Macedonia. The Allied commander refused to stop fighting but said he would re- ceive accredited Bulgarian delegates. Meanwhile, Allied forces are pressing on and pushing farther apart the d.- vided German-Bulgarian armies. From the new line reached Thurs- day night Amer-can forces between Argonne and the Meuse continue to press northward thru the hilly wood- ed country northwest of Verdun. The Americans are well beyond the orig- inal lines and hold important observa- tion points along the front. Light rain fell Friday on the American sec- tor and the weather was unfavorable for observation. West of Argonne to the Suippe river the French advanced more than three and a half miles and have taken and passed formidable German de- fense points, including Navarin farm, Butte Dutahure and Butte du Mes- nil. Petain’s men took 7,000 pris- oners who, with the 5,000 taken by the Americans, bring the Allied total for the first day to 12,000. In Argonne forest itself the Alles apparently are making little effort to move northward. The Allied com- mand seemingly believes that the forest will be cleared automatically as the Americans and French prog- ress on either side. Already the Ger- mans facing the French in the forest have been outflanked on the ast. The British attack launched this morning is north of the operations looking to the encirclement of St. Quentiny and threatens German de- fenses north and west of Cambri. South of the Sensee the British are well within the Hindenburg line and on ground previously untouched by heavy’ fighting. West of Cambrai they are just west of the German line and the new operation probably is planned to outflank the Hindenburg —a_ a training camp. { * positions from Cambrai to St. Quen- tin.

This well was the one so promi- nent in news reports the middle of the week and which was said to have started off at 20,000 barrels per day by some Casper people. It was also reported as being good for 10,000 barrels in other papers. The first day the well was drilled into the sands, it made a gusher flow that filled four 250-barrel tanks in four hours. This computed for 24 hours would make the well do about 6,000 barrels but the well did not hold up a steady production for that period. Gradually the flows have in- creased, however, until the official statement places the output of the well between 4,000 and 5,000 bar- rels with the gas pressure that is showing the oil steadily increasing. However, the gas pressure is expect- ed to decrease in the near future and then the production will settle down to its normal capacity. Judging from the way the well started off and also by the other wells located close by, the gusher will eventually settle down be.ween 600 and 1,000 barrels per day. © eee accore.. Mrs. N. S.
