The fighting still contin- ues to be sanguinary on all these sec- tors, but everywhere the British and French are holding the enemy. Es- pecially severe has been the fighting west of Albert where the Germans in an endeavor to debouch westward were repulsed by Field Marshall Haig's men with heavy casualties. British Gain Near Somme The British gains between the Som- me and Ancre regions are represented by the recapture of the town of Mor- lancourt and Crapelle. South of the Somme they have advanced to Proy- art which lies to the south of Bray. All along the 50-mile front from the region of Arras to the south of Oise near Noyon, the effects of what was to have been the final stroke to end the war in a victory for the Teutons, are plainly evident only in the re- devastation of the country side and the wreck of the towns and villages through which the armies have pass- ed. 400,000 Germans Disabled I It is estimated that in the great at- tacks delivered in mass formation more than 400,000 of the nearly 1,000,- 000 men the Germans threw into the fray are dead, wounded, or aie in the hands of the Allies. -About 25 miles represents the great- est point of penetration made at any place by the enemy in his advance, and at the northern and southern ends of the big salient he has left his flanksf dangerously open to counter attacks,r which, if successful possibly, might result in a retreat greater than in 1916 retrograd movement of von Hin- denburg, and nullify in its entirety the drive that has been accomplished. ; Allies Front Strong Notwithstanding the strength of the German drive, of the British or French front, along the latter of which Amer- ican troops have given a good account of their ability as fighters, has not been dented.. Ground has been given, it is true, but so skillfully and with such precision of movement that a surveyor could have scarcely have worked out a more even line. Still intact in the hands of the allied fore- es are portions of the old line from which von Hindenburg fell back in his "strategic retirement" in 1916. On the other battle fields the opera- tions of a minor character continue, but daily the situation in Italy gives further indications that an offensive against the Italians is in preparation. Large re-inforcements continue to be drawn up behind their lines by the Austrians and Germans, and the artil- lery activity on the whole front is, growing more intense.
