BIG ADVANCE MADE
ON WESTERN FRONT
London. British troops, continuing
their rapid advance on the heels of
the retiring Germans, have occupied
the imortant towns of N'esle, Chaulnea
and Peronne.
Along a front of about 45 miles they
have entered the German positions to
a depth of 10 miles in places. In ad
dition the British have taken mora
than 60 villages.
ISapaume, for many months describ
ed as a German stronghold, now is la
the hands of the British. The forces
of Emperor William apparently hara
been compelled to give up positions
that they have occupied for more than
two years, because of the terrifia
bombardments to which they have
been subjected.
Paris. The German line at last ac
counts was in full retreat over a sec
tion which represents almost one-fifth
of the vast front from Switzerland to
the sea closely pressed by the French
and British.
Two entire French departments,
those of the Oise and Aisne, have
been liberated from the German ia
vader. The total territory now re
gained is roughly calculated at 620
square miles.
This immense tract of reconquered
territory was traversed by a corre
spondent for the Associated Press,
who found the inhabitants in many
places, where they were allowed ta
remain by the Germans, tearfully joy
ous at the reappearance of their fellow-countrymen
coming in as victor.

women and children, who bad been
for 32 months in the hands of tb
