givin! WIY on 'the Macedonian front

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. _
