THE WAR. Friday. NO BANK HOLIDAY. We appreciably acivanced our line on the -Somme battlefield at various points yesterday by sharp infantry figiiting. At one place we captured some German howitzers with a quantity-of ammunition. Thet.e," says the British official message, will be u-ed against the enemy at a suitable oppor- tunity." Our troops on the Tigris, facing the Turk- ish defences of Sanna-i-yat, were attacked by machine-gun fire on July 9 and 10. and on .the following day Turkish artillery and aircraft bombarded our irenohes ineffec- tually. On July 12 the temperature was 117 degTees. August Bank Holidays are to be sus- pended by Proclamation, for the reason, as the Primu Minister stated yesterday, that, in the opinion of the Commander-in-Chief, there must be no slackening of output of munitions for a moment. Lord Robert Cecil gave the. substance of the German reply to our representations on the treatment of British civilian prisoners at Ruhloben. The German Government re- pudiate the charge that their prisoners are insufficiently fed. and state that, if, by reprisal, we reduced the rations 01 German prisoners in this country, they will prohibit the repeption of parcels at Ruhleben. Saturday. FURTHER BRITISH SUCCESSES. Excellent news comes from the British front. At daybreak yesterday our troops attacked the German second line on a front of four miles, carried it, and held it against oounter-attacks. By July 10 the maze of German trenches, fortified vila^es. and strong places, which formed their first system on a front of over eight miles east of Albert had been won. and immediate steps were taken to attack their second line. At the opening of the attack yesterday our line ran from the south of Thiepval across the Bapaumo road through trie eastern iriiiige of Ovillers, to the north of Contal- maison, Mametz Wood, and Montauban, through the Trones Wood. south of which it joined with the French. The assault was launched at 3.25 a.m. after all MitenBive bombardment. Everywhere it went well, the enemy was driven from his trenches on the whole front attacked, and many pri- soners fejl into our hands. Step by step we increased our gams, especially on our right flank.' Lcngueval and Bazentin-le-Petit, vil- lages on hi3h ground, two mills apart, were won. and- tartiier to the east we pushed through the bitterly-contested Trones Wood once more until the whole of it was in our hands. Here a rHrty of the Royal West j out for 48 hours surroun- ded by Germans, were relieved. German oounter-attacks to save the day were fierce. The fit two were •arutfhed bv our fire; then later one succeeded in recapturing the vil- lage of Bapeutin-le-Petit. At once the enemy were driven out. and the dav closed with our troops retaining all their gains. Monday. I DRAGOON GUARDS IN A CHARGE. British troops have fought their way almost to the orest of the Albert plaieau, along which stretches the third system of German defences north of the Somme. The splendid advance which -began at dawn on Friday on the right of their battlefront had carried thetm into the German second line, and they had captured in tlieir stride the villages of Longueval, Bazentin-le-Grand 3JJ Bazentin-le-Petit. On Saturday they added to their great work on this front between Pozieres and Guiliemont. Pushing e»6t from Longueval they captured the whole of the Del vilie Wood: west from Bazentin-le-Petit they took all the wood of the same namq; in the centre they pene- trated into the German third line in the Bois des Faureux (High Wood). From OwLlera other troops worked west and made their wa v as far as the outskirts of Pcaieres. All this groUlud has 'been kept, save that in High Wood. The detachment which had advanced there was used as a cover while our troops strengthened and improved our new positions, and it was then- withdrawn without interference from the enemv. In this attack on the second and third German system of defences we had up to Saturday ftaken over 2,090 more prisoners, bringing our total captives since the battle began on July 1 to over 10,000. Among the new ^iTiSOrrvL-S al"^ a fal commander of the Third Guards Division and the com- mander of a Bavarian Regiment, with his whole staff. Five more heavy howitzers and four 77 mm. guns have fallen into our hands. Tuesday. 7- BIG BATTLES IN VOLHYNIA. British troops have widened the breach in the German second line of defences north of the Somme. In the great battle of Friday and Saturday they had stormed this system on the-front between the villages of Bazen- tm-le-Petit and Longueval. They have now pushed north-west from Bazentin and east trom Lougueval. Near Bazentin they have captured a -further 1,500 yards of the Ger- man lines, and, east of Longueval, Waterloo arm. a strong German post, towards the JJort of truillemont, has fallen into their hands. Good progress has also been made ?>n-ii 6 ot t^ie British battle front Uviilers has at length been cleared of the German troops, who had held Qut there through continuous attack* for the last ten days. We captured the remnants of the garrison-two officers and lf24 Guardsmen. Evidence of the destructiveness of our fire is confirmed. In the trenches we have cap-- tured north-west of Bazentin, the enemy had suffered heavy casualties, while documents which have fallen into our hands, and which are quoted in Sir Douglas Haig's dispatch, show that company and even re^imente have been torn to shreds. A series of battles were fought in VoJhynia on Sundav which have culminated in a triumph of "Russian arms. The south-western face of the Lutsk salient opposite Vladimir Vofhynsk and M has been broken on a front of 12 miles, from- isvidniiiivi. in the north, to the ix>wer Lipa. a tributary of the Styr, in the south. The heaviest defeat of the enemv was on the Lower Lipa, where thev are etill in retreat, though offering stubborn resist- J? sln.Sk ^y of battles no less than 13,000 prisoners Were taken bv Genc-mi ,Sa\Charoff's troops, including 317 ofnoers.

Our troops are also astride of the Ba.pa.ume road, about yards to the south-west of Pozieres.
