English, Scotch, Irish and Welsh Troops Make One of Most Spectacular Raids of the War, Completely Surprising Germans. London. The great llindcnhiirg defense line UHn which the German commander In chief had huilded Ills hopes of holding the British from Inroads Into the open territory beyoml, has been smashed. And the tusk apparently wus an easy one. Attacking on Wednesday over a front of thirty-tw- o miles, extending from the Scurpe river east of Arrus to SI Quentin, Field Murslml Haig, with his English, Scotch, Irish und Welsh troops, hns made one of the most rapid and spectacular drives of the war, catching the Germuns completely by surprise, capturing numerous positions regarded ns Itnpregnuble, and taking thousands of prisoners and numerous guns. The apex of the offensive apparently Is centered on the Important mil-wa- y Junction of Cumhrul, midway between Arras und St. Quentin. Here, having taken the towus of Murcolng, Anneux, Gralncourt and Novelles, tiro victorious troops ut last accounts were nenring Cambrid. with Its railroad lines and midways branching out toward all the main points of tho compass. The British drive was begun without the usual artillery prelude, and os the tanks and Infantrymen made their way through the wire entanglements and pressed Into the Gertnun first position, the surprised enemy begnn sending up myrluds of signal rockets calling for assistance. Whether aid was rushed up Is not definitely known, but seemingly the surprised Germans fled In disorder, leaving all kinds of equipment behind and In most cases did not even take time, as usual, to apply the torch to villages they evacuated. An Indication thnt the Germans fortified line lias been passing by the British at some points Is the entry of the cavalry Into the fray. Not since the famous retreat of the Germuns ulong the Anere nnd the Somme In the spring of the present year hnve the horsemen been engaged. At that time they performed vullunt service In harassing the retreutlng columns and In rounding up prisoners. The British disunities were extremely light, while German dead covered the ground. Reports . Indicate that the depth of penetration In the region of Cuinhrnl has exceeded live miles, nnd that at one point at least the troops swept on five miles beyond the German lines, capturing additional villages. The offensive was under direct command of General Sir Julian Byng, and General John J. I'ershlng, commander In chief of the American forces In France, wus un Interested observer. .
