BRITISH BREAK
GERMiN LINE
Reports Are Thai the Allies Have
Taken Twenty Miles of Teuton
Front.
ITALIANS DRIVING AUSTRIAN'S
And the Russians Seem to Be Having
the Best of It on the Eastern
Frontier—Have Taken
200,000 Prisoners.
British Headquarters in France,
July 1.—The British troops have oc-
cupied the German front tine and have
captured many prisoners as the result
of a tremendous offensive launched at
7:30 o'clock this morning over a front
extending twenty miles north of the
Somme. The assault was preceded
by a terrific bombardment.
The bombardment which preceded
the attack lasted about an hour and a
half. It is too early as yet to give
any but the barest particulars of the
fighting, which is developing ill in-
tensity. The British casualties have
so far been comparatively light, ac-
cording to the official report.
French Join Attack
Simultaneously with the launching
of the British offensive, French infan-
try advanced to the attack. This
movement of French troops was inau-
gurated over a section of the French
line adjoining the junction point with
the British front.
Again Take Lost Positions
The French statement regarding
Friday's fighting says that after four
violent attacks with liquid fire the
Germans succeeded in capturing the
positions east of Hill 304, which were
taken by the French Friday. The
French made a counter attack and re
captured the position, according to ai
official statement today.
Germans tin Thiaumont.
After several furious assaults, th
Germans penetrated the works around
Thiaumont, which were captured by
the French yesterday.
The approaches to Thiaumont are
still in the hands of the French. On
the west of the Meuse fighting of
great violence lasted through ^ the
night in the neighborhood of Esnes,
Avocourt road. The Germans attacked
heavily both east and west of hill 304
but most of their attacks were re-
pulsed. Nancy was bombarded by Gel -
man long range guns.
Battle Five Days.
The tremendous offensive which has
been launched by the British army
on the German front is the culmina-
tionof a five-day battle which in the
amount of ammunition expended and
in the territory involved, exceeds any-
thing of the kind that has previously
been known in the world war.
For some weeks reports have been
current in England and France that
the "big push" of the British was
about to commence. It was said that
England had 2,000,000 men fully
equipped and trained in preparation
for the supreme effort to break the
German lines. More than 1,000,000
shells are declared to have been fired
daily in the preliminary bombardment
which extended over a front ninety
miles in length.
The menace of the British attack
was fully appreciated in Germany, ac-
cording to newspaper comments from
Berlin, and the utmost confidence was
expressed in the ability of the Ger-
mans to meet and crush it. The allies
are now on the offensive in practical-
ly every field of war. The British as-
sault comes on the heels of the great
successes won by the Russian (latician
campaign. The Slavs have completely
driven the Austrians from Bokuwina
and are continuing their advance.
On the Italian front also the central
powers have met with severe reverses
and for several days the Italians have
been steadily driving the Austrians
from the Trentino. The defense also
of Verdun by the French appears to
have stiffened and the remainder of
battle in that bitterly contested sec-
tor appears recently to have swayed
in favor of the defenders.
The great offensive undertaken by
the British offers, according to re-
ports from th front and the comments
of military critics, an absolutely new
departure in the tactics hitherto pur-
sued by the belligerents. Contrary to
the favorite tactics & the Germans,
the British did not attempt a partial
advance by massing their artillery at a
given point on the line and following
in intense bombardment by an infan-
try attack in serried columns. Em-
ploying an enormous number of guns,
the British maintained a continuous
and even bombardment of the German
lines along the entire ninety miles of
attack. They sought to level the Ger-
man trenches and destroy the con-
crete fortifications which sheltered
the German machine gun squads.
Hurricanes of shells were also di
rected against the German barbed
wire entanglements. In the evenings
following this daily artillery storm,
raiding parties dashed out from the
British lines to complete the destruc-
tion wrought by the big guns. In this
way the British claim that many
prisoners were taken, machine guns
destroyed or captured and the entire
defense of the Germans demoralized
A French officer who witnessed this
plan of operation described it as "the
last word in scientific warfare.
