In France: lt being a week ago today since the British offensive developed, the occasion Is opportune to review the progress made. We have pushed in the German salient between Albert and the Somme to an extreme depth at the point of our greatest advance of about three miles. We hold the villages of Montauban, Frlcourt and Mametz and are well across the fringe of Con talma I son. At various Intervening points of tactical Importance, our line is firmly established. "We have taken upward of f.000 prisoners, 21 guns, St machine guns, a large number of automatic rifles, trench mortars, mine wer-fersearchlights, and other military booty. "The enemy Is known to have suffered terrible losses. For example, the third division of the Prussian guard, brought up as reinforcements, have been so depleted that the remnants of the corps have been withdrawn as no longer war worthy for the time. Frlson-tr- s say that the morale of these guards I badly toshattered, this apthe officers. plying equally "The heavy rains of the past two days have much impeded the operations?. Nevertheless our troops have been fighting Incessantly and In many spots have made substantial gains. The spirit of the men Is wonderful. They fully realize they r.ow are playing the part of the top dog. As proof of their dash, it may be mentioned that In their advsnces there are practically no stragglers, so eager are all to the get to their goal. This, underwarof trench heavj' conditions fare, with No Man's Land often like a quagmire. Is truly wonderful. There In every reason to be satisfied alike with the progress and prospects." a, " OKRLTX, July 8.

The lieutenant was wounded during the preparatory bombardment but was there long enough to witness the almost indescribable destruction wrought in the front line trenches by the artillerv. lie says that the massively built positions had been regarded as virtually Indestructible and impregnable, but the event proved that tho progress In the " development of offensive tactics ulnte the September of f ensive had not been realized.

"The second day's bombardment, June 2(5. brought another surprise In the shape of aerial mines of unheard of calibres, which were thrown In incredible numbers.

This was a regular Vesuvius eruption. "The destructive effects of this uninterrupted throwing of the heaviest mines were almost immediately visible. The entrances to the two bombproofs were buried and the Inmates had to be removed." A few minutes later an orderly sent with a message to the left of a company returned, reporting that the trenih had been completely levelled. Lieutenant Dambitsch, goins to observe, saw as far as the eye could reach, crater after crater six feet deep, the earth between being torn up In a wild, high chaos of trench timbers and wire entanglements.

Report after report arrived of bombproofs demolished by aerial torpedoes; burying the Inmates. The trenches became rapidly levelled; communication between the sections was extremely difficult. The third lines were so heavily shelled that It was impossible to traverse them. An orderly sent to a captain was hours under way. On the left flank the company trench was so obliterated that It was difficult to trace It. The only means of progress was to dash from crater to crater, fully exposed to the enemy fire while crossing the inter vening ridges. Finally, he arrjved after a period of Intense danger and found the left platoon of the company in the same condition as the right platoon. A number of men were still buried in the demolished bombproofs. Their comrades worked for hours extricating them. n "During tliis work, an Intrepid surgeon arrived with an oxygen apparatus and stood for hours under a heavy artillery fire ministering to the half buried and attempting1 to revive those asphyxiated. "The bombardment continued without cessation, aerial torpedoes being hurled from ranges such as was never before known for mine throwers, and the French artillery pounded every yard of ground with an intense fire of big shells." The lieutenant describes how welcome, reinforcements were sent that niglit, "quite as much to assist In digging oxit those buried as to contribute to the defense." He was leading them to positlonK among the demolished trenches when he and his orderly were wounded by an exploding torpedo. They were sent to the hospital, thus missing " hat-talio- July P.
