THE SOMME VICTORY Enemy Forced Back to his I Third Line. 2,000 PRISONERS IN ONE DAY, —-—.—-—————— Total Advance Four ¡1iles ————— Press Bureau, Saturday Afternoon. The following telegraphic dispatch from British General Headquar- ters, France, was issued this afternoon:— Ail continues to go well on the British front, and at one point we have forced the enemy back to his third system of defence, more than 4 miles in the rear of /lis original front trenches at Fricourt and Mametz. In the past twenty-four hours we have captured over 2,QQ0 prisoners, including a regimental commander of the Third Guards Division, and the total number of prisoners taken by the British since the; battle began now exceeds 10,000. Large quantities of war material have also fallen into our hands. TO-DAY'S FRENCH OFFICIAL. The following French official com- munique was issued through the Press Bureau this afternoon:— On the left bank of the Meuse a Ger- man grenade attack on one of our trenches to the north-east of Avo- court Redoubt was repulsed. On the right bank artillery duels con- tinue intense in the sector of Fleury. We dispersed by rifle fire several enemy reconnaissances in the 13 ois de Vaux-Chapitre. In the Forest of Apremont several German attempts failed under our curtain fire. BRITISH OFFICIAL. British Headquarters, Friday, 9.17 p.m. —It is now possible to give further details of the action begun at daybreak this morning. Having driven the enemy back step by step to his second system of de- fence, the period of the llth and 12th of July was mainly spent by our troops in bombarding these formidable positions and in other necesssary preparation for a further advance. This morning, after an intense bombard- ment the assault was launched at 3.25 a.m The enemy was driven from his trenches )n the whole of the front of attack, and nany prisoners fell into our hands. Fierce fighting has continued all day. as ;he result of which ve have steadily increased our gains, and are now in possession of the enemy's second position from Bazentin-le-Petit village to Lon- gueval village, both inclusive, and the whole of Trones Wood. In Trones Wood we relieved a party of the Royal West Kent Regiment who. separated from our troops in the recent I fighting and surrounded by the Germans, had gallantly held out at the northern end of the wood for -18 hours. Two determined counter-attacks on our positions were completely .crushed by our gun-fire. Later in the day. after a fierce counter- attack. the Germans succeeded in re- j capturing the village of Bazentin-!e-Petit. but were afterwards driven out again by our infantry, and the whole village is once more in our hands [Longoeva l. a village with a peace j time popnlation-of about (00, is over six miles east by north of Albert:, and nearly five miles east of our original line on the right of June "0. It lies just north of the Trones Wood, now entirely cleared of the enemy.] [Bazentin-le-Grand is a mile west of Longtievul, and Bazentin-le-Petit nearly a mile further to the north-west.] Ovillers, where fighting is also re- ported, is half a mile north of La Boi^elle on the western side of the Albert—Banaurne road.l FRENCH OFFICIAL. 11 p.m.—The day was comparatively calm on the whole front. By way of reprisals for the hombard- ment carried cut by the enemy on the • open town of Luneviile on the night of Jiine 21-25, one of our aircraft. flying at a height of 500 yards, last night dropped j several bombs of large calibre on the town of Mulheim. on the banks of thp Rhine. ENEMY'S ELUSIVE REPORT. Amsterdam, Friday. — The following official communique was issued in Berlin to-day:—()n both sides of the Somme severe fighting has again broken out. This morning the English attacked the sector of the Mam-e-tz Wood and Longueval and repeated their efforts at the Trones Wood, whepe yesterday evening they had been already severely hit by a prompt attack by our reserves. By yesterday's vain attack in the dis- j trict of Barleux and west of Estrees the French added a fresh disappointment to their numerous failures of the last few days. Neither they nor their black friends were able to gain an inch of ground. East of the Meuse attempts by the French to recapture their lost ground failed. Their attacks were arrested by our fire in the district of Fort Soaville, and were completely repulsed near Fort La u fee On the remainder of t no front numerous enemy patrols or stronger reconnoitring parties were repulsed. German patrols re- turned with prisoners near Aulches and Beaulne and west of M^rkirch. PRISONERS SURRENDERING I FREELY.

TRIBUTE TO THE WELSH. I The 'JjmesJ' special correspondent with the British Army in the field, deal-! ing with the great advance, writes:— The officers of another division have told me of the great callantry of the Welsh troops, whose advance they were able to watch. In spite of the rifle and the machine-gun fire, they 6aid, the steadi- ness of the advance was superb, wave dter wave going forward without a check,! without hesitation, and without a; FINE SUCCESSES. The Magnificent Advance of. British Troops. Paris, Saturday.—The Press comments delightedly on the magnificent success of our intrepid Brifisti ye^-rday. In the Petit IJariaien" Colonel lious.set says: The British success, which is but beginning—tor the battle still rages furiously—will be singularly disagreeable to the Germans, whose particular dread is an advance of the British, north of Peronne. To prevent it they have made incredible efforts. See them now, con- tinues the colonel, they are forced to give way before the perseverance of the British, which seems to acquire determination with each new difficulty, in the solid assurance of these measured but con- tinuous a dvances there is something1- majestic, inflexible, which gives the im- lJressioll of latent power, united to all lluplHeabJc wilL The" Matin" nays that a glance at the Ti-lal) iS sufficient to reveal the im- portant tactical consequence' which may result from the advance of yesterday. From to-day the British front, north of the Somme, is aligned with the French, front. In the "Echo de Paris" Marcel• Hutin says the British offensive is only Le°imiing. Mr. Asquith said so yester- day in the House of Commons. We knew it, and our enemies now recognise j U. Despite rather bad weather and poor visibility for the work of the batteries, a bi? advance was scored yeE;tery, and the batth- continues without r??c. in the Radical" Colonel Bris writes: T1 pse are tine, succ?'ses to put to the? credit of our Allies. Really astoumhng,! if one pauses to think that only a few! months ago these soldiers were civilians, without a notion of the soldier's busi- ness. The Excelsior" says the Franco- British attack on two fronts, carried out by the same methods and with an equal courage, is yielding similar results. Moreover the regular alteration of periods, of preparation, and of action gives the operation a continuity which allows the enemy not a moment's respite. A war of exhaustion, of which the Germans continually talk, is well under way, and it is they who are paying the bill. The expert French commentator in his report of Friday night adds no ne-W I facts to the official reports. He points out; that with the capture of the villages: named the total number of these taken in the big advance is brought up to 21. j He says the depth of the advance is about: 1,250 metres. He concludes: It was a big day, full of great dforts and fine sue-i cesses by the British troops, who, by methodical advance, are gradually bring- j ing their front up to the level of the new French line, thus facilitating the renewal of the combined advance. BELGIAN REPORT. Havre, Saturday.—The following official: Belgian communique was issued here last: night: Artillery duels took place at j various points on the Belgian front to- j day, especially in the region of Steens-! traate, where the struggle reached great intensity in the afternoon. j

■ i i NON-COMMTTAL TURKEY, Amsterdam, Saturday.—The Turkish: communique, received to-day, via Berlin, is as follows:— Caucasian Front.—The right wing of our advanced detachments drove thej enemy reconnaissances back to their! main positions. In the centre violence of' fighting in some sectors has decreased, without any decisive success for either side. Fighting continues, partly in our favour, partly in the enemy's favour. Advanced positions, which are very often1 without any tactical value, are repeatedly changing hands. On the left wing the situation north of Chorokh is also un- changed. Surprise attacks by the enemy war vessels to approach certain coast Pos^Sfons of the Dardanelles and waters of foimy a were prevented by our artillery. Pim^.s A<rwitlti..n.

ring of FIRE I GERMAN OFFiCEti'S DESCRIPTION OF ARTIllERY WORK OBSTACLES FLATTENED OUT j Amsterdam, Saturday.—Lieut. Alfred iJambitschi, who was wounded in the re- cent fighting on the Somme, gives an in- J teresting description in the Vossische Zeitung," of the Allies' tactics in their present offensive. He writes: When in September, 1915, at Souchez, we had to stand five days incessant lire which was the preparation for the great French autumn offensive, we thought this the climax of diabolical brutal offensive tactics. A g-reater intensity seemed im- possible. However, the German attack bofoie Verdun proved the contrary. But what we have just met with on the Somme makes our experiences of last, September appear mere child's play. No previous war affords any comparison to it." Afler remaining that none of the bel- ligerents had entered the present war fully armed and trained, the writer de- scribes the various weapons which have been improved during the war, such as liquid fire throwers, gas attacks and sub- marines. He continues: In this respect the position of the French and British offensive is the last word. The aim of any offensive in modern warfare is the destruction of the enemy. This is the ob- ject of the present offensive, the idea being to enclose us in a tactical ring by a simultaneous bombardment with long i range guns from the front and the rear. "THE GREEDY BEAST." Accordingly the greedy beast began eating at the back lin of the German front. First of all our third and second trenches were incessantly bombarded mostly by heavy artillery of which the enemy had concentrated unprecedented masses in the sector of attack. It was the dug-outs which had to be battered down, 80 that at the moment of assault all the defenders except a few survivors and all the machine-guns should be buried. Our second and third trenches were first bombarded in order to prevent our br,inging up reserves. For the same reason all tho trenches leading from the rear to the front position were kept under Incessant fire. On the Somme every one of our columns had a good communica- tion trench which led from the head- quarters of the battalion to the front trench. In the position itself there were a number of other communication trendies. Building .these trenches and ke-eping tbem in repair has cost the troops incessant labour, but the labour has not been in vain. In spite of the unprece- dented waste of ammunition, these works frittered away the artillery strength of | the enemy. CROSS ROADS UNDER FIRE. But the attack against our front from the rear extended still further. All the main and side roads and all the cross roads were kept under fire, so that ap- proaching trooj>s, munitions supplIes, and provisions had to pass through several lines of fire. Bombarding villages and places hehind the front where, the various reserves are to be quartered i6 an old trick of the British and French, but this time the principle was carried out more consistently and recklessly than over. All places up to a distance of 15 kilometres behind the front were hrought under an incessant heavy artillery bom- bardment, which often started actual fires, thanks to the incendiary shells used bv the enemy. ACTIVITY OF ALLIED AIRMEN. The writer declares that" the Germans had sufficient time to build good dug- outs even in these places, far behind fnmf. He describes the destruction done in inhabited places and in the fields, and also ¡'hE' activity of the Allied airmen The plan of destruction of the Ger- man front," he says, uece,%itated gain- ing the ascendancy in the air, and large numbers of British and French airmen were massed in the fighting sector every day. Swarms of them directed the ransre finding of the artillery. When tlio in- cessant fire began not a second passed but dozens of enemy aeroplanes flew ovpr our trenches. Great cctiiadriiif, were sent beyond the German lines to reconnoitre tho approach and quartering of our troops, and from time to time drop bombs A NEW IDEA. The writer describes the following function of airmen as a new idea. Gener- ally infantry fighting is preceded by the silencing of the enemy's artillery. This principle was, on this occasion, trans- ferred to the aerial weapon which materi- > ally increased the effectiveness of flip: bombardment of our artillery, hecause.ar- tillery without observation from an ele- vation can accomplish nothing owing to its indirect fire. The enemy had tested .new methods by which airmen can set lire to balloons by pistol shot. This phm is I now also adopted by us with very good results The battering down-of our advanced trenche.s was almost exclusively left to the heavy artillery and French mortars, especially the latter." The French have made great improvements in this weapon lately. For the destruction of our trenches they exclusively employed those of the heaviest calibre, and they now throw their mines with greater accuracy and over longer ranges than formerly. WIRE OBSTACLES SMASHED. Opposite, my company not less than six mortars were placed. They were worked uninterruptedly, throwing hun- dreds of aerial torpedoes on our position, j From the first to the third trenches thev tore up our wire obstacles from the ground, poles and all, and threw them all over the place, crushing the dug-outs if they fell on them, and damaging the I trendies. In a very short time great portions of our trenches had been flattened out, partly burying their occupants. This fire lasted for seven days, and finally there came a gas attack, also of an Ini- i proved kind. Although the offensive war. mado by rpat masses of infantry, we are prepared to nwet them. Even to-day, when war is so largely a matter of mechanical contrivances, the old truth still holdg good. MEN THE DECIDING FACTOR. I H In the fong run it is always the men who are the deciding factor. The deepest impression left on me was not a feeling of horror and terror in face of these gigantic forces of destruction, but an in- creasing admiration for my own men, young recruits who had just come into the field from homes, fresh. Twenty-year old boys behaved in this catastrophic ploughing and thundering as if they had spent their lives in sncli surroundings, and it is partly, thanks to them, that the older merl also stood the test so well." The writer concludes by saying the enemy will never ronoh flik, TM.tittn frn"1".

MR. GINNELL CHARGED I Story of a Vssit to Irish I Prisoners. The Press Association states that Mr. Laurence Ginnell, Independent National- ist member for North-Wast Mcath, has been arrested at Knutsford, and was to- diy charged at Bow-street under the De- fence of the Realm Act. Defendant was described on the charge sheet as "Lebras McFingle, alias Lau- rence Ginnell (62). barrister, and M.P., of Queen's-road, Richmond, Surrey," and he was charged by order of Major-General Sir Francis Lloyd, a competent military au- thority. Mr. Bodkin, for the Director of Public Prosecutions, caid the offence .charged against Mr. Ginnell was that he. in appli- ,I,i i ns t (:in-,ipll w. cations, kno*. i, faLc sf->tnnont, or an omission, with intent to mislead an officer, or other person acting under an officer, in the execution of his duty. The offence was alleged to have been commit- ted on June 25th, at Knutsford Military Detention Barracks, which had been used for the detention of Irish prisoners. An applicant for a pas.s had to sign his name in a book kept for the purpose at the gate, and on "leaving he had again to shrn his name and deliver, up the pass. The signature was compared on leaving with tba,t upon the entry, for Irish pris- oners were in ordinary civilian dress, and it was found necessary to take precautions against any connivance of escape. On Juno 25th accused presented himself, ob- tained a pass, signed the book, and went in. On June 22nd, three days earlier, an order had been made by the responsible military authority that defendant should not, under any circumstances, be per- mitted to enter the barracks at Knutsford or any other part of the country. That order was made for very good reasons. It was stated that when arrested Mr. Ginnell gave the name of McFingle, and had asked to see some of the Irish prison- ers who were specially confined in a camp there. In defence, Mr. Ginnell urged that he had a. right to use the name of McFingle, which was Irish for Ginnell. Accused was remanded until the 28th inst.

SINN FEINERS LIVELY. I I A thousand Sinn Feiners, disappointed by the non-arrival of released prisoners, paraded the streets of Cork on Friday sing- ing rebel songs and hissing the military and police.

MR. FORSTER EXPLAINS. I Mr. Forster, in Parliamentary papers, states that when he said, in answering a question on Tuesday why the name of Im- nehnaon's victor had been suppressed, that officers of the R.F.C. did not wish their names to be published, he meant that they did not wish their names to appear in th" descriptive articles fur- nished bv newspaper correspondents. He was not referring to mention by the Com- mander-in-Chief, for that* was an honour which oiffcers of the R.F.C. prized as highly as any other officer.
