WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES, Sept. 11.—(11 a. m.)— British forces launched an at- tack at 3 a. m. today northwest of Peiziere. As this is cabled it is reported the British have cap- tured important ridges. (Peiziere is a northern suburb of Epehy on the Hindenburg line mid way between Cambrai and St. Quen- tin). At Trescault cemetery, on the east- ern edge of Havrincourt wood, the British advanced and occupied the old Hindenburg line in that region. Heavy German shelling has de- veloped all along the front. In the Sensee valley the German batteries were worked so rapidly their bom bardment was ee a hurricane. BERLIN CLAIMS 3,000 CAPTURED BERLIN (Via London), Sept. 11. —“Southward of Ypres and north- ward of the La Bassee canal, re- pulsing English partial attac |took prisoners,” the war office an- nounced today “South of the Peronne-Cambrat road there were fresh English at- tacks and violent fighting. “South of Gouzeaucourt and around Epehy, the enemy was driven back by our counter attack. We took 3,000 prisoners. “Partial French attacks were de- Iivered astride the Ham-St. Quentin road in an effort to surprise one of our posts. These were repulsed by artille There ‘as local fighting between the Ailette and the Aisne, In the afternoon artillery fire in- crea In the evening strong enemy attacks failed.” W.

Nevertheless, the operations are steadily slowing down. Belgians, British, French and Americans are snuggling up closer to their former lines. If the rains yntinue, mud will force a further kening. Still, the weather has been exceptionally dry since before the offensive, and the German is thirsty, much of the moisture can be absorbed. But an early sete ting in of the rainy season, which: is now Mable at any time, would affect the whole trend of the ree mainder of the campaign. Today, despite local fighting where the British and French were driving in the last German out- posts westward of the Hindenburg © |line, the western front was vied ally marking time pending col mencement of the new phase of campaign. —W. 8. &— WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 navy department today regards probably true the claim of the Frank H.
