(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. '
_ QT. QUENTIN ALSO BEING
_ THREATENED
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. When the

LA BASSEE WILL BE ENVELOPEDl
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

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. -

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. '
