This morning the British pushed forward rapidly from Bapaume ¥ and are now to the east of Fremincourt on the road to Cambrai and at Bancourt.

Many | explosions have been observed behind the enemy lines. At Riecourt especially were the defnses strong, and the town sits atop . high ground which in itself forms a natural defensive position, It had been thought that the Germans would hold onto this place desperately, and . they did for the first part of the attack. Under the terrific British fire, however, the enemy broke as Haig f men stormed the place, and it is now firmly in British hands. Here the | British are now within a few hundred yards of the famous Drogourt f Queant line, which probably is one of the strongest positions the enemy as ever erected on the western front. FIVE- LINES OF GERMAN TRENCHES. The Drocourt-Queant defenses now consist of five lines of trenche many machine guns and immense quantities of wire, and the ground honeycombed with deep dugouts to offer shelter trom bombardment. It is along this line, perhaps, that one of the most bitter struggles of the war may soon take place.
