Must Provide Great Amount of Artillery to Blast Enemy Lines British Headquarters in France, July I.—American officers, who have been studying conditions on this front for some time past, say that they are wonderfully Impressed with the British artillery, which has made them more than ever conscious of the immense efforts the United States will have to make in that di rection. The American people have been quick to appreciate the value of great aerial fleets of battle and scouting planes; the air service ap pealed at once to their Imagination. But when, after all is said and done, it has been guns and still more guns, shells and still more shells, that havs turned the tide of war In favor of the entente allies. The artillery has solved most of "77 te Live Storey Sato-day Was anEasy Winner At this "Live Store"~we finished the "first half" of 1917 with colors flying on the highest pinnacle ever reached for June 1 here has been no slackening interest in our Men's Furnishing Department.

It wu the artillery that blew the German* from their grim grip on Vimy ridge; it was the artillery that shook them loose from their nearly three years' hold on the high ground about Mes slnes; it was the artillery that shat tered and crumpled me steel and concrete defenses of the Hindenburg line from Arras nearly all the way to Queant. It is the artillery to-day that is harassing and pounding the Germans until they are fairly dazed when the Infantry attacks begin. The limited depth of the battles to-day is duo to the fact that the infantry must not get bevond the protecting cover of their artillery. It was with their enormous guns, which no other nation possessed, that the Germans expected to blast their way to quick victory in 1914. Battle Hand-to-Hand With Bayonets and Bombs Near City of Lens Canadian Headquarters In France, by Canadian Press Limited, via Lon don. July I.—The drive south and west of Lens continues with un abated vigor. During the night our Iroops operating in the region east of Reservoir Hill, supported by a cannonade of great Intensity, pushed forward seven hundred yards beyond the point reached Thursday. They encountered strong opposition, es pecially on the left flank to the north of the city and were unable to maintain the extreme point of their advance. German counterattacks continued this morning. Fighting va proceed ing amid the ruins of houses and the front untler a bombardment of heavy guns, making the line diffi cult to locate and maintain. The nattle was rnally one in which the valor of small groups of men using bombs and bayonets decided the is sue. The British troops, in this ad vance from the northwest of Lens, have maintained the linest traditions of the army. Where the Canadians are battling forward on the southwest the Hoods along the river Houchez, resulting from the blockading of the channel with debrlb ot blown-up bridges, slightly retarding the advance. Nev ertheless, our patrols now are well into the upper part of Avion and in close contact with the enemy's rear guard. In the lower end of Avion the destruction wrought is inde scribable. There is not a habitable structure left in this formerly popu lous suburb of Lens and in some places the streets have been so plow ed up it Is difficult to trace where they had been. The enemy trenches, which were provided as usual with deep dugouts, are almost entirely JULY 2, 1917. obliterated and the entrances to the dugouts have ben blown in. Germans Tarn Country Taken by British Into -, Shambles Before Retreat 1 , By Associate J Press Berlin, via London, July 2. —A semiofficial statement discussing the recent British attacks says the aim evidently of enveloping the Lens sa lient continues.
