LONDON, July 1. --British troops
in attacks against the Germans have
advanced their line over a front of
nearly 3% miles to an average depth
of nearly t mile, east of the Nieppe
Forest,
Which lies
between
Bailleul
i
and Bethune, aceording to the Brit-
ish official communication issued on
Friday, West of Merris Australian
troops also captured enemy positions.
On both sectors ,prisoners and Ma-
chine guns were taken.
Herbert Russell, correspondent for
Reuttr's Limited, wiring froze. Brit-
ish headquarters describing the suc-
cessful advance of Haig's troops be-
tween Bailleul and La Besse, says;
"The captured ground lies at the
most debatable point on the British'
front, just west of the Bois D'A,va1,;
which forms the northeast angle of
the Nieppe Forest,
"The "offensive was ata point.
where the enemy thrust was hardet3t'
in the Flanders battle in an' effort to
capture the forest, which would have
opened his way to Hazebrouck, the
capture: of which would have entail-
ed our retirement from ,Ypres,
"The.' attack' was launched at .6
o'clock on a front of 6,000 yards
from Vieux Berquin to Pont Tour
-
nal, its objective being the line of
the small stream called the Plate.
Besque, 1,500 yards away. The ob-
jectives were completely attained
and give, us valuable ground for fu-
ture attacks.
Some 300 prisoners and six ma-
chine guns were captured,"
The Associated Press correspon-
dent at British Headquarters.. tele-
graphs:
"Field Marshal von Hindenburg's
troops east of the Forest of Nieppe
got a nasty and unexpected knock
to -day, when the British suddenly
drove forward ':in a surprise attack
along a 'front of more than three
miles and hurled the startled grey -
coated soldiers back to an average
depth of 1,500 yards,
"The operation was an unquali-
fied success from its inception. and
the attacking infantry reached all
their objectives in remarkably short
time,
"By this thrust the British not
only have greatly improved their
positions in this important and
much -contested sector, which lies
just north of Merville, but they in-
flicted heavy punishment on two hos-
tile divisions < that were holding the
line here—the 32nd division of
Saxons and the 44th reserve division
of Prussians.
Large numbers of the enemy
were killed in the hurricane on-
slaught, and some 250 of the more
fortunate had been collected in the
prisoner cages before noon.
"The front of the attack was 6,000
yards in length and lay "approximate-
ly between Vieux Berquin on the
north, and Pont Tournal, which is
2,000 yards northwest of Merville,
on the south. West of Merville, the
British and German lines here had
been jammed up almost against the
edge of the Nieppe Forest in places,

It was in order to acquire more lee-

his zone with a series of strong ma-
chine-gun'posts linked up with barb -
d wire.
The losses among the storming in-.
eastry for the . entire engagements
were extremely light; which was due
largely to the fact that the show was
over before the enemy was able to
organize serious resistance.
"As a special feature of the pro-
gram, British troops on the left of
the columns carried out a simulated
attack of their own which had an
amazing resistance, adding nearly
half a hundred prisoners to the bag.
"The morale of the prisoners tak-
en was not high. These men and
others captured recently in this sec-
tor have appeared to be much dis-
heartened by their failure to get big-
ger results in their offensive. They
had expected to get ahead much fas-
ter than they, have.
"These meri have professed to be-
lieve that the United States was not
going to be able to render mueh as-
sistance to the Allies. The helpless-
ness -of the United States is being
preached assiduously to the troops
by the German high command, and
this propaganda undoubtedly has
been having its effect among the men
in the trenches.
"With the German officers natur-
ally it is different, for they have no
delusions on the subject."

A' Istria Approaching the Allies.
LONDON, July 1:—It is learned
from a good source that the Austro-
Hungarian Government, through an
unofficial representative in Switzer-
land, has made an attempt, in the
last few days, to discover the Allied
standpoint upon certain important
questions. The Dual Monarchy emis-
sary represented himself as being
very close to Emperor • Charles. Con-
tact with, the Allies was not estab-
lished, and he returned to Vienna.
A despatch from Madrid received
in Geneva states that Austria has
asked Spainto open negotiations
with the Allies with a .view to gen-
eral peace. Swiss papers state that
a similar propaganda has been be-
gun at Berne by Germany through
Austrian 'channels: It is also report-
ed, on what appears reliable author-
ity, that the King of Spain has been
recently in Paris, where he stayed
incognito with the Duke of Mont
Penisier.
The wooden steamer "War Que-
bee" was successfully" launched on
the St. Charles river on Friday last.

We've given them up—until after the war anyhow.` There is
a far better way to give,you value for your money and we've
done it—we've made the Comfort Soap bar much bigger.

New bigger Coifrt bar is better value
Many of the Premiums—books, glassware, toys, jewelry, etc., used to come. from
Europe. These cannot be shipped now on account of the war, and the prem-
iums we can still get are either so poorly made or so expensive that the value simply isn't
there: The best way out is to give you all the value of the premium in the biggest -selling
soap in Canada -that's Comfort. The Comfort bar is bigger now—at the same price.
r Oh ,
Of course all wrappers, coupons, etc., now out in the
stores will be redeemed as heretofore -but get them
in early while our Premium stock is still good. If
the new bar isn't in stock yet, the old one is just as
good value—with our present premiums.
