The exact extent of the German re- tirement approaches a depth of three miles at some points. British patrols are out in all directions harassing the Germans and keeping in touch with their movements. It can be stated that the British now or soon will be in a position pos- sibly to force the evacuation of Ba- paume, which has been the key to the German position since the begin- ning ‘of the battle of the Somme. The points which already have fallen into thelr hands have stood out in the -his- tory of fighting on this front and had ! been mast stubbornly defended. Only & few days ago when the British at- tacked on a two mile front east and south of Miraumont and Pys the Ger- man resistance was bitter, and the high ground desired was won only af-_ ter desperate hand to hand encount- ers and the taking of more thafi 800 German prisoners.
