Else where in the game locality the Amereans also advanced the line, keeping in contact with the retreat- ing enemy. Counter-attacks by the Germans resulted in their gaining little more than a slight foothold, which in every case was quickly loosened by British and American reattacka. In most places the Germans did not even get a foothold, for the advance ing formations were met with hurri canes of fire, under which they melted away, There has been especially heavy fighting in the whirlpool of the battle around Bullecourt and Hendevourt, where the British are bolding tions almost resting against the court-Queant, or Wotan, line.

The War Office in its announce- jment this morning reported that good progress was being made. | The Canadians have penetrated the vitally important Dro- court-Queant switch of the Hindenburg line on a two-mile front, according to reports afternoon. They have reached the west- ern edge of Cagnicourt, about two miles northeast of Queant. They have captured Dury, on the western edge of Cagnicourt. (The Drocourt-Queant switch is also known as the Wotan line. It extends from Drocourt just below Lens, to Queant, south of the Sensee River, and has been the line on which the Germans have hoped to prevent the capture of Cambral.] Between Dury and Etaing there has been considerable heavy, fighting and many prisoners have been taken. (Dury ts eight miles west and slightly north of Cambrai, and Ptaing 1s two miles north of Dury. Both these villages are. just north of the highway from Arras to Cambrai) A large number of prisoners were taken in this forward push inst extremely stubborn enemy resistance. The Germans had seven divisions massed on a front of five miles in this area, On the Cambrai-Bapaume Road the British are approaching the vile lage of Beugny, nearly four miles northeast of Bapaume, but it is not yet definitely reported captured. BRITISH OUTFL, Ivk LE TRANSLOY. Le Transloy, the important point on the line between Bapaume and Peronne where the Germans have been ‘holding stubbornly, i is considered by the British to-day as virtually in their hands, They have captured the village of Villers-au-Flos, to the north, and Le ‘Transloy is now outflanked on both sides. The capture of Noreuil, northeast of Bapaume, was re- ported this morning. The villages of Saillisel and Sailly-Saillesel, on the line north of Peronne, have also been taken, On the Flanders front the British have advanced as far as the Lys River east of Estaires, while further northeast, in the direction of Ypres, the village of Neuve-Eglise has been captured. (Neuve Eglise was the scene of desperate fighting during the German advance beyond Armentieres last spring. It 1s less than four miles northwest of Armentieres.) Further advances in Flanders were made to-day by the British. They captured the towns of Estaires, four miles east of Merville, and Steenwerck, three miles southeast of Bailleul.
