(Special to The Guardian)

PARIS, Sept. 19.-The Bulgars are

givin! WIY on 'the Macedonian front to the west of the Vardar Valley. They fought well during the first twe days of the Allied advance but the Serbs, French and Czecho-Slovaks have greatly enlarged the breach or- iginally made in their defences and are now assaillng their second de- fensive positions ten miles in the rear of those taken on Monday. Dur- ing the first two days' operations, those of Sunday and Monday, over 4,000 prisoners were taken together with over 50 guns, many trench mor- tars and machine guns and a consid- erable quantity of war material. The Serbian legatlon at Washington announces that German troops sent to the aid of the hard pressed Bul- gars have been put to flight. The of- fensive continues on a front of over

to exist on that part of the western front from the Scarpe to u point near St. Quentin.

Sir Douglas I~Iaig’s army shattered

it yesterday on a wide front from Gouzeaucourt, southw-est oi' Cambrai. to Fresnoy Lo Petit, about two miles northwest of St. Quentin. At several places, including Villeret and Pontru. the assaulting columns broke through the line and now hold ground to the east of positions the enemy be- lieved to be impregnable. ~

The official report of Sir Douglas

I-lztig states that the attack was made with complete success by the British third and fourth armies on a front of about sixteen miles and that on the whole of this front our troops adva.uc-` ing in heavy storms of rain carried the enemy's positions hy assault. Sweeping over the old British trench systems of March 1018 they reach-ed ind captured the outcr defences of the Hindenburg line in wide sectors.

GETTING BEHIND HINDENBURG LINE

The victory gives -the British ami

Australian troops operating on thc twenty mile stretch between Cam- brai and St. Quentin an opportunity lo get in behind the Hindenburg line all ‘along this part of the battlefront.

As the -British and Canadian troops

northwest of Cambrai hive zilrcady broken or outtlankcd the Drocourt- Quean-t positions_ the result of the dayis operations placed in peril the cntire system of German defences be- tween Cambrai and St. Quentin. The Zutttle was fierce and there was much hand-to~hand fighting _in the villages captured. At Epehy the enemy held :”u_st until the place was almost sur- rounded. The list of villages recover- ed is impressive. Among the more important are Atempleux, Itonnsoy; Epehy, Pontru. Le Verguier, Vilieret, Hargicourt (where the Canadian cav- ilry brigade distinguished itself in the 1917 campaign) and Fresnoy Le Petit. The victorious troops penetrat- ed the enemy's positions to a depth of three miles at some points and cap- tured ever 6,000 prisoners.

BERLIN ADMl‘T8 IT BUT FALSI- FIE8 REPORT Berlin 'admits that the British pierc- ed the Germans positions in the cen- tre of the battlefield between Hargl-

asserts that "Everywhere we are lighting west of our old Slegefried position," that is west of the Hinden- burg line. Sir .Douglas Haig specially states. however, that British troops have established themselves in the old German advanced post-tions west and southwest of Bellicourt which is fully a mile beyond the British lines held in March last. _
