According to information at hand it has been estab- Mshed that more than thirty-nine German batiallons participated in the ettack along the French front on July 1. According to the statements of prisoners, thirty-one of those battalions suffered very heavy losses and are at present completely disorganized, Most of the prisoners taken by us July 1 and July 2 are ver young. Aas & result of the questioning of these men in our hands it has been Jearned that the preparatory fire of our artillery wan very oMfca elous, not only in anuihilating defensive organizations, but in ren- dering impossible all latteral communication behind the nes and in preventing the bringing up of provisions, At the same time our artillery fire made it impossible for the enemy to tranamit orders to the troops engaged in the operations. | GERMAN BALLOONS SET ON FIRE. “During the preparatory offensive fire of our artillery Frenck @viators set fire to thirteen captive German balloons, Two others Were set on fire the Ist of July. During the attack our aeroplane scouts were masters of the front. During this time only nine aero- planes of the enemy showed themselves, and not one crossed our lines. Of these nine machines one was destroyed. “South of the Kiver Avre, in the region of Dancourt and tp the vieinity 6f the Wood des Loges, Fronch reconnoltring parties pone- twated the German trenches and cleaned them out with hand ‘grenades. In the region of Lashigny « surprise attack against a trench of the enemy was successful at Verlot Wood, noar Canny- eur-Matsz, Another French patrol made some prisoners in the region of Moulin-sous Towtvent.” The French alone have now advanced their positions on a front of ten miles, extending from the outskirts of Hardecourt, north of the Somme, to a point south of Estrees Village. The fighting on the twentytive-mile front over which the British and French armies arf driving eastward toward the PeronneCambrat-Lille rail way is costing huge losses in men.
