One of the great battles of history was being fought to- day over a front of nearly 100 miles, extending from the vicinity of the famous Vimy Ridge southward to the region of Soissons. Three British and three French armies were engaged, | their lines joining south of the Somme. In continuous fight- | ing the French since yesterday had made oné of the great- est advances of the war, and this morning were within a mile and a half of the Somme at Fricourt. They progressed a maximum of more than seven miles on a front of twenty-five miles between the Somme and the Oise, taking thirty villages. After capturing Chaulnes, which had withstood the com- bined assault of British and French troops for weeks, French troops pressed on five miles and reached the great railway centre of Nesle. This advance also brought them within six miles of Peronne. The British yesterday took the strongly defended town of Foucaucourt, south of the Somme, which had held up the Allied advance on a wide front in that region. They also cleared out Trones Wood, north of the Somme. Along the Scarpe, the British advanced to the outskirts of three villages that are three miles beyond the old Hindenburg line. In that sector this defensive line has been passed on a front of ap- parently nine miles. Some of the ground regained in this sector had not been in the hands of Entente troops since 1914, American troops are reported operating with Gen. Man- gin’s army northwest of Soissons.
