A despatch from Paris says: By
its victories lase week the French of-
fensive has achieved what the Ger-
mans asserted was impossible. It has
driven a wedge right through the or-
iginal German front, has definitely
"broken the line" of boasted impreg-
liable fortifications stretching across
France from beyond the north-west-
ern frontier to the limits of Switzer-
land.
The village of Bouchavesnes and
l'Abbe Wood farm beyond it were
clearly behind the rows of trenches
which aerial observation showed to be
barring the French advance when the
Somme offensive began. That under
the menace of the onrushing French
tide the Germans have hastily con-
structed other lines still further in the
rear of the lost positions does not de-
tract from the moral value of the
achievement that filled the battle -
weary troops with enthusiasm.

of the latest success, its strategic

An Enemy Seaplane Station Was Successfully Bombed on Lake
Angern, in the Gulf of Riga.
A Reuter despatch from Petrograd
to London says that four giant Rus-
sian aeroplanes of the Murometz
typo bombarded a German seaplane
station on Lake Angern, in the Gulf
of Riga, where seventeen seaplanes of
various sizes and models were dis-
cerned. The Russians dropped 73
bombs, with resultant tire and smoke,
which soon concealed the seaplane
sheds.
German machines attacked the Rus-
sian machines, but were soon put to
flight with machine guns. During the
bombing and air fight not less than
eight German machines were destroy-
ed or put out of action. The Rus-
sian aeroplanes returned eafely, not-
withstanding they were shelled by,
anti-aircraft guns.
