The Hindenburg line has been thoroughly penetrated by the British in a new advance southeast of Arras, where Field Marshal Haig’s troops have driven ahead more than a mile between Bullecourt and the Scarpe, capturing Bullecourt, Hendecourt-les-Cagnicourt and Riencourt, and approaching within a mile of the Drocourt-Queant “switch line.” Further north the British have crossed the Somme south and west of Peronne, and the fall of that city is apparently imminent. The British now hold the entire western bank of the Somme, Combles has been captured and British troops are mov- ing east from Bapaume. North of Lens the British have pushed forward at one place 1,000 yards. On the French front Gen. Humbert’s troops, which yea terday took Noyon, resumed their attacks and are advancing up the heights north of the Oise. Gen. Mangin’s army has re- pulsed counter-attacks between the Aisne and Ailette. Americans fighting with the French north and east of Soissons have met German cavalry for the first time. Desper- ate enemy efforts to check their progress failed. LONDON, Aug. 30 (United Press).—The British have established three posts across the Somme, of which two are north of Eterpigny (south of Peronne) and Bi- aches (west of Peronne). Moulin Souci has been captured. The heaviest fighting is proceeding along the Arras- Cambrai Road. Field Marshal Haig announced the crossing of the Somme south and west of Peronne in his communique to- day. The British have captured Combles, between Ba- paume and the Somme, and Clery-Sur-Somme, on the Somme between Combles and Peronne. East of the Sensee the British also progressed, taking Bullecourt and Hendecourt-les-Cagnicourt. Canadian troops smashed forward this morning in a new attack south of the Arras-Cambrai road. In yesterday’s fighting the British pushed more than four miles beyond the Hindenburg line in this region. British troops also are pushing ahead in the Lawe and Lys Valleys on the Flanders front. The British advanced 2,000 yards (more than a mile) on a front of seven miles between Bullecourt and the Scarpe during the morning, and |are now within a mile of Queant (the junction of the Wotan and Sieg- ‘ried sections of the Hindenburg line), it was learned.
