(Special to The Guardian)

LONDON. Sept. 12.- The third

British Army continued to closoin up- on Camhrai from the west and south west to the east of Moeuvres. There has been a fart-her advance in the direction of .Bourlon Wood which is now within striking _distance of the Canadiansat Baralle and the British troopson the Moeuvres sector. An attack on the wood is certain to come when the weather clears. .South of the Bapaume 'Camhrai Road the Wood of I-lavrlncourt which is fully two miles in length by about three quarters of a mile in width has been almost entirelyi cleared of the en- emy. The vlilage of tile same name standing on the eastern edge of the wood was captured yesterday after sharp fighting by a division of York- shire troops which took it on No- vember 20, 1917 during the former battle of Cam-brat. Other English troops captured the section of the Hindenburg line between Havrin- court and the Canal Du Nord. The- vlllage of Trescauit south of the` wood of Havrlncourt was taken by` English troops while the New Zea- landers after a_hard fight made pro- gress east of Gouzeaucourt Wood. in these operations about a thousand prisoners were captured and the most difficult ground in front of Cambrai except Bourlon Wood has been oc- cupied. '

The same process of a limited a/d-‘

vance to defend objectives is being carried out in the British approach to the northwest of St. Quentin. There also as in the case of Cambrai a well fortified Wiood of consider- able extent forms the outer defence of,the city. The Wood of Holnon stands on high ground about three miles northwest of St. Quentin. The capture of the villages of Vermand and Attiliy reported. by Sir Douglas Haig yesterday brings the, British up to the Wood. Progress has been made in the western end of it.

The Cflllture of the 'Railway triangle southwest of La. Bassoe following thc recent advance near _Hulluch reveals the intention of the British command- er to work around the strong defen- ces of La Bassee from the south as well as the, northwest. La Bassee has been for three years the most import ant roiitl and rail _centre of the ene- my between Arras and Lille and its capture would make the retention of the Aubres .ridge by the Germans extremely difiicuit and weaken to that extent their hold on the great Lexile centre of northern France.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-Pershing and

the men ofthe first American army gave the Gofmans ll taste of their

quality yesterday when they smashed‘ through the German line on the

southern side of St. Mllliel salient ln! French Lorraine along a front of el- even miles, penetrated the enemyi positions to a depth of over five miles' captured Thiacourt and Pannes, the chief road centres in the southern part of the salient and loosing their cavalry upon the retreating Germans drove them back in the- direction of

Vlgneulles onthe western side of the salient. While this principal attack!

was in progress, backed up by an ov-: crwhelmning artillery fire and sup- ported hy over a hundred American'

tanks, a combined force of Amcricung and French troops advanced on thc` western side of the salient whicll par-I

allels the heights of the Mouse and! reaches the River at »St. Mllllel wherc- the Germans have held a footing on' the west bank since tho early nlonthsl of the war. The French attacked ati St. Mihiel and reached the outskirts' of the town and the Fort of the Ro-. man camp which guards it on the'

south. The Germans here are fightingi desperately to maintain their grip on the rlverbank but late dospatcllcs state that St. Mlhicl has been cap-

tured. `

Farther north about midway bc-

iween St. Mihiel and Verdun where solne of the fiercest struggles of war have taken place on the heights Les F-Iparage, the Franco-American force zirove forward over the summit of the hills that constituted the battlefront; took_Les Parges, reached Combresp and penetrated well toward, Fresnes, The Germans at the westerly end of salient are almost entirely surround- ed and may be unable to extricate i_~ themselves, from the trap sprung by` General Pershing. If they can get out 'hey assuredly will for the salient is, now absolutely -untenable. There must be several thousand German troops on the St. Mihiel sector in im- minent danger of capture together .vith much field and heavy artillery. At the time of sending his official .iespatch to Washington Pershing placed the number prisoners taken at 8.000. This number will 'oe largely in- creased. -

(Special fo The Guardian)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-~Byteln-

atic evacuation of the town of Donal. one of the important forward bases of the present German line in Franco is described in official advices reach- ing Washington today. A vast am- ount of war material is being taken out of the town. the report says, in- cluding the equipment of the arsenal there, which was the largest estab- lishment of the kind maintained by

--the enemy in the northern region of

ills advanced lines.

The advices state that the removal

of this equipment has been in pro- gress more than ten days and that the equipment at the Brayells airdomo near Doula, also ,was being taken further to the rear. The same pro- cautions are being taken with eqldp- nlent at an enemy aviation ileid at llecelles, near St. Amand. That held the report states was specially es- tablished in connection with the raids by German aircraft along the Eng- lish Channel fcoast.

It is between Donal and Cambrai

that the British have broken through the first defences of the I-llndenburg line and this detailed statement of the German withdrawal of -material from Douai appears to hear out prev- icus reports that the enemy was preparing for the abandonment of

"this section of his great fortified line

which has been iniperiled by tho British advance. '
