counter-attacks wero followed by a tremen

Tho penotratlon of this position by tho
French Is regarded by military critics as a
success of tho first rank, for tho Germans
had established powerful fortifications there
and regarded the place as Impregnable.
Tho next objective of the French In
that sector Is the town of Le Transloy,
also on tho Bapnume-Poronns road.
British troops are pushing on Le Barque.

Only three miles separate the British
