GENITAL HMG DELI° ERS
ANOTHER POWERFUL STROKE
German Trenches Demolished on Front of Nearly Two Miles and
One More Village Inas Been Captured.
London, Oct. 1.-A powerful new
stroke to -day carried Gen. Haig's
British troops within two and a half
miles of Bapaume, the high road to
which they straddle. They demolish-
ed the German trenches on a front of
a mile and three-quarters, stretching
from a point east of Eaucourt L'Ab-
baye is reported in their hands, ac-
cording to news reaching Gen. Haig
at headquarters.
The new blow was carried out af-
ter a tremendous artillery bombard-
ment, the attacking troops being
closely followed by the terrible
"`tanks," which cleaned out the Ger-
man trenches by an enfilading fire
while the infantry swept forward.
More than 300 prisoners had been
brought in at a late hour to -night,
making a total of almost 30,000 on
the British front alone since the be-
ginning of the Somme operations, A.
division of the new army took part in
the fighting, and showed steadiness
and endurance.

spectacle of the descending blazing
mass was witnessed by thousands .of

A clespabch'front Washington says :
Another report of the capture of

on Sunday from unofficial, but usual-

this account, which is given credence
by some high military officers, the
Bremen was seen three weeks ago at
the big British naval station at
Rosyth, on the east coast of Scotland,
having been captured in one of the
steel nets recently used with such suc-
