Paris, July 10.—A new attack was launched in the Champagne

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

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..
