The war office to-day announced the capture of trenches over a front of 500 meters. On the Somme front the French took a line of German positions in the neighborhood of Barletix. In this section 950 Germans were captured yesterday and last night. The Germans made attacks at five points simultaneously in the Vosges but all their assaults were checked completely by the fire of French machine guns. The French attack in the Champagne was made at a point west of Mesnil. The French troops charged three times. On the Somme front north of the river the night passed quietly. In the Verdun sector artillery fire continued at Chattancourt, Fleury and Lafale. London, July 10, 3.05 P. M.—British troops have made a new advance northwest of Contalmaison, in the field of their offensive north of the Somme, it was officially announced this afternoon.

Berlin, July 10, via London.—The recapture of Trones wood, LaMaisonette farm and the village of Barleux by German troops was announced to-day by the war office in its report on operations along the western front. German Trenches Are Crossed by French in Bound, South of Somme By Associated Press Paris, July 10.—The new "rench j drive south of the Somme river yes- j terday had been prepared by artillery bombardments for more than two days and the complicated system of , German defenses in the loop to the northward made by the river, had been disorganized. The task of artillery! preparation had been carried through 1 rapidly and the infantry attack prob- ] ably would have been made sooner ! had it not been for the bad weather. I Yesterday morning the rain at last j stopped and the signal for the assault i was given. The French troops began j to move along a two and a half mile front. The left wing rested on the bridge over the Somme, one mile east of Tormont farm, while the right \ wing lay a little north of Belloy. The left wing and the center j crossed the German trenches with a j single bound and progressed rapidly in the direction of Biaches. This vil lage was attacked from two sides, the ; north and east at once. The Germans ' defending it resisted energetically but j finding themselves in danger of being \ surrounded, retreated up the left j bank of the river by the Peronne j road. At 2 o'clock the village was j entirely In the hands of the French. ! Meanwhile the right wing threw the Germans into disorder and arrived at the outskirts of Barleux where the German situation now appears to be | precarious. French military opinion character- I izes the capture of Biaches as a bril- ' liant and important operation. ; Whether the Germans are still hold ing on to the network of canals or have retreated to the other bank of the last plateau before the Somme and the Somme, the French Dositlon on the important point of support af forded by the capture of Biaches give them direct command of the valley Immediately above Peronne.

French Take Third Positions Near Peronne By Associated Press Paris, July 10. The French ad j vanced their line south of the Somme ! to-day a mile and a half, capturing j | the German third positions along a j length of three and one-half miles and i are now within a mile of Peronne. j French critics believe that the cap ture of Peronne now is a question al most of hours. Under the system of interlocking it was the turn of the right wing to push I forward, the other echelons on cen ter and left being saved to effect the moves required of theni. The troops south of the Somme apparently had made good use of their breathing spell. When the word was given they moved forward with the precision of a well oiled machine. They swept across the | Northern end of the two plateaus ! which face Peronne, clearing out the German positions and establishing themselves solidly in the trenches, which had been turned into quagmires I by the combined efforts of bombard j mcnt and incessant rains. Incessant Drumfire The Germans offered the best resist ance they could but the French artil lery has been keeping up a formidable drumfire upon their lines of com munication making it almost Im j possible for them to gather their re | tnforcement or food in suitable quantities. [ To-day's success is important in that it should enable the French heavy artillery to push forward into a position whence it can pour a fire into the fir.nk and rear of the Germans who are I resisting at Combles, four miles to ! the north and at Clery, half a mile I north on the other hank of the Somme. To-day's movement of the French ; paved the way for the next move of a central echelon for which prepara tion continued steadily all day, vir | tually without interference front the | Germans..
