"Our troops are once more astrffle the Thiepval ridge and are advancing eastward. "On the left center of our attack East Lancashire troops have been heavily engaged all day about Mirau mont, where the enemy held out with great stubbornness until the village was gradually outflanked by our ad vancing columns. New Zealanders Win. "North of this village the New Zea.- land division in the center of the at tack struck in the direction of Ba paume. Advancing with irresistible dash and determination, it carried the defenses of Loupart wood, taking 440 prisoners. Pressing forward with great gallantry, it captured Grevillers and Biefvillers and reached Avesnes Lez Bapaume, on the outskirts of Ba paume. "On the flanks of this attack Eng lish troops gained possession of Irles and advanced in the direction of Sa pignies, overcoming strong hostile re- sistance at Irles and east of Bihucourt. "On the left of the battle front Eng lish .and Scottish divisions and the Guards are fighting on the front of Mory, Croisillesejand Neuville-Vitasse and have captured St. Leger, Henin Sur Cojeul and the hill east of the latter village. "No estimate of the captures" can yet be given. "This morning we have advanced our line west of Balleuil on a front of a mile, capturing some 50 prisoners. A counter attack attempted by the enemy during the afternoon was crushed by our artillery." PARIS, Aug. 24. The American troops in pie Fismes sector have ad vanced as far north as the Soissons Rheims road, according to the War Office announcement tonight. The statement sys: "Between the Ailette and the Aisne we have made progress soutn 01 Coecy-au-Mont and taken about 100 prisoners. Yankees Make Advance. 'West of Fismes the American troops have carried their line-as , fax as the Soissons-Rheims road on .a front of about 800 meters. "On Friday nine German airplanes were brought down or put cut of ac tion and a captive balloon was burned. The same day our bombing planes dropped 12,300 kilos of projectiles and fired several thousand cartridges in the region of Anizy-le-Chateau, Bran court, Landrecourt and Mortier For est, where aerial observers had sig nalled important enemy reserves and convoys. , (By the Associated Press.) Without pause the British forces battling against the Germans are moving forward in the direction of Bap: ume. The fighting has been ex tremely heavy, but there has been no stopping Field Marshal Haig's men and the latest report from British head quarters says that they are making progress along the entire front of the British attack. Bray Is Captured. The important towns of Bray, Thiepval and Grandcouft, together with several smaller places, have been captured and more than 2000 prison ers have -been taken. . Around Miraumont, which lies a lit tle north of Grandcourt, the fight ing has been of great intensity, and this place apparently has fallen, as Haig's report says that "the enemy held out until outflanked by advancing columns." British detachments have, reached Avesnes-Les-Bapaume which lies very close to Bapaume, whose capture is expected at an early date, but not without severe fighting. American troops holding the ground around Fismes have moved up to the Soissons-Rheims road along a front of about half a mile, while the French, though not extensively, engaged, have made some progress sooth of Crecy-Au-Mont. . There are few details of the progress of the fighting south of the Somme. The capture of cannon is reported from this region, but there has been r.o news of further progress there by the British. Along the Chaulnes-Roye sector there is comparative quiet. This region hasl not been mentioned in recent advices. Although the French are known to be close to Noyon, that city is still held by the Germans. The French hold ground along the southern bank of the Oise, and have been reported to be across it at two points, but they ap pear to have ceased their attacks for the moment, seeming to be waiting for the outcome of the fighting in Picardy and Artois. The left bank of the Ailette is- also held hy the French. There have been reports that they have crossed this stream, but these have not been of ficially' confirmed. " South' of the Ail ette. the French appear to be definitely held up on the hills north of Soiesons. Their position there, however, would seem to render the German position near Soissons untenable. . i Trench raids by the French in the Lorraine sector are reported from the French War Office. Thui activity in what has been for some time a quiet sector, may be the prelude to an attack against the Germans there. LONDON, Aug. 2t. In the fighting during the last three days the British have captured 14,000 prisoners. No' return has yet been made of the total number of prisoners taken by the French, but a conservative estimate of the total of Anglo-French captures since July 18 confirms the earlier re port from Paris placing them well over 100,000. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS- IN FRANCE, Aug. 24. (Reuter's Limited.) The town of Thiepval, northeast- of Albert, oil the Ancre front, was entered today by British forces in the teeth of much machine gun and rifle fire. Bray also was captured by the British. The area behind the German lines Is jammed with men and transports, while south of Bapaume the Germans seem to be throwing In more tropps. Never before have heaentente air planes had such ground targets. A large number of planes are ewooping over the roads empting their machine guns and cargoes of bombs into the enemy masses, damming the roads with dead and wreckage and causing the greatest confusion. - The allied aviators emptied tneir guns and dropped their bombs as fast as they could and returned time and again for more ammunition. The British armies continued smasn ing through the Germans this morning all along the battle line. The distance between the enemy and Albert is continually widening. This morning the battle waged furiously in the vicinity of Bihucourt and Sapignies, where the Germans were trying to save Bapaume. 1o say nothing of the great number of wounded Germans in British nos pltals, several thousand have passed through the prisoner camps of. General Byng'a third army alone. There has been no effort and no time to count the number of guns captured. THREE INJURED IN AUTO Machine Struck, at Union Avenue and Wasco, by Vancouver Car.
