London.—Advanced British troops have entered their old defense system on the southern battle line held prior to the German offensive last March, according to the war office announce ment The British have gained ground along the Vermand-Epehy line. More than 19,000 prisoners were taken by the British In France In the first week of September. • The British in an advance over a four-mile front between the Havrln- court wood and Peixiere have captured all the German positions on the high ground between these two points and won their old trench positions over looking Gouzeaucourt The advance on the St. Quentin front progressed in spite of the prev alence of heavy rain, over ground deep in mud. A fresh German division has arrived la thia sector and the enemy resistance as the rearguard movement goes on seems likely to he stiffened somewhat before the Hlndenburg line is finally reached. Heavy artillery duels were reported at many places along the line. The thrust launched by the British Just to the north of the Arras-Cambrai road seems to have made some prog ress, according to reports. ___ In Flanders the British have gained another 1500 yards to the west of Wytschaete and from reliable sources it is learned that the Germans have removed virtually >11 their artillery to the east of the river Lys to cover the Unes they held prior to their April offensive.
