THE WAR SITUATION
The word from the seat of war
this week is but a continuation of the
goodinews of last week, only that the
scene of operation has shifted or been
enlarged to the Somme area. Here
the Canadians have come - into the
the fighting again alter a long* rest
and have been making new records for
themselves. and their .„caunitry. The
attack a Gen. Haig on the Somme
came as a complete surprise to the
Germane. In fact so rapid was his
advanee aad 'so complete the surprise
that in a nbenber of cases, German
Divisional 'Headquarters Staffs were
taken in their beds and many papers
and orders of' great value to the Al-
lies were taken with them. The great
Allied advance leas now lasted without
interruption for four days, but is Show-
ing signs of sleekening, caused not so
much bere th eltiffening of the resist-
ance from the enemy but by the fact
that in fo days continuous fighting
they have g ,t ahead of their big guns
and supplies, and naturally must pause
for reorganization and to take breath.
When theseethings haee been oacom-
plished, the advance will begin again
artd a good many .signs Point to the
fact that it will continue until the
Germans again reach the o/d Hinden-
burg line, from which they started
with such high hope a -few weeks ago.
m
The ground may not be covered as
rapidly as in the first weeks advance;
because the Allies camtot do every-
thing at once, and they would be fool-
tr. One thiag ts certain, how-
ever, and that is that. the defenders
have been soundly thrashed. They
have suffered tremendoas losses
and -
are cennpletely routed, many of their
higher staffs having been taken pris-
ones and the Allied intelligence ser-
vice • will gain much valuable infor-
ma.tion from the documents found.
The Cenadians' part in this vietory
kas been the cause of a great deal of
enthusiasm at the iAllied headquarters
On the second night Of their attack
they had advanhed over 12 miles, a re-
cord in offensive progress on the Wes-
tern front, and during that time they
captured over 5,000 Germans. More
than this an official report states that
in. die -territory captured there are
ten dead Germans for every dead
Canadian.
-Since the Allied offensive began_ on
August 8th, the total captures by the
French and British armies have aggre-
gated 28,000 men and 600 -guns, and
aince the begirmng Of -the Allied C01431-,
ter -offensive on -July 18th, the Allies
have taken more than 70,000 prison-
ers and mere than 1000 guns. In ad-,
dition to this it is eihnated that more
than 10,000 macliite guns have been
eaptured from the enemy.
The next few Weeks will be critical
ones for the GerMans, and if the pasttar
guarantees the f eewe may surely
a.wait with cortfi &ice the outcome. In
fact, we might e en prepare ourselves
for a record of new and brilliant suc-
cesses at an es.rly date.
