CORE OF BATTLE LONDON, Sept. 2. The core of the whole battle now is between the Scarpe river and Ilapaume and It Is here that the Germans are really fighting, according to the Daily .Mall's correspondent at British head (liiarters. The Germans, says the correspondent, are fighting lo kocp the allies off their line of defense that winds along the most favorable ridges from St. Quentin to llroeourt. Tho Australians who captured -Mont St. Quentin with 1500 prison ers and thoreby made the fnll of I'eronne Inevitable, accomplished the feat within an hour and with a loss to themselves of only 23 men, according to the correspondent, who adds that the better part of three German divisions crumbled to pieces before one Australian unit. be held, the lllndenburg Hue would appear to be completely outflanked on Its northern end. .Development of the success In the direction of Douaai and Cambrai, would threaten the en tire German line In the west from I He North sea to Itnelms and even be yond. This threat Is Jielng doubly main tained thru the Franco-American ad vance north of Solssons, which was continued last night, Increasing the menace to the southorn flank of the Illndenliurg positions. Progress was made by General Petain's allied forces in the wood west of Coucy-I.e-Chateau and on the line farther south. It Is here that the allies are pressing In upon the bastion of St. Gobaln defending l.aon, the southern bulwark of the Hlndenburg defenses. ; Allied Progress On the front between the flunks, the British made further progress, notably toward tho northern end. They are reported at Beugny. nearly four miles northeast of Bapaume and they have taken the town of Noreull, farther north In this urea. The Ger man holding point at Le Transloy, between Bapaume and Poronne, Is enveloped, and virtually Is In British slon hands. The Australians took be tween 3000 and 4 0"l 0 prisoners In tho Peronne region yesterday. The Germans are unofficially reported withdrawing their supplies In tho re gion between Peronne and the Hln denburg line. The Germans also are still on the backward track In Flanders. The British are keeping closely after the enemy. They have reached the Lys east of Estalres and have captured Neuve Egllse, near the edge of the Messlnes ridge south of Keinmel.
