On the heels of the announcement of a sweeping victory for
the Allies in Macedonia, where the Bulgars are in flight after their
'line had been smashed, comes the report that the British are now
dealing the Germans in France the heaviest blow they have suffered
since the first day of the great drive.
The mighty smash of the British has been under way all day
and has swept forward, according to the official announcement
made in London, over a four-mile front along the Akbert-Bapaume
highway to a depth of from one to two miles.
The town of Flers, only four miles south of Bapaume, was cap
tured Friday afternoon, according to a dispatch from Frederick
Palmer. The correspondent of The London Daily News wires that
the German third line of defense has been broken. The presumption
is that the offensive is still under way.
Gains announced by the French War Office indicate that the
fall of Combles and then Peronne, which towns are key defenses of
the German line, is only a matter of days. The French drove for
ward, extending their positions to the southwest of Combles and to
the north of Peronne, and both towns are now in ““pockets’’ and
are subject to attack from three sides.
