The French already bave taken about 6,000 prisoners, while the allied lines have enveloped within, the last twenty-four hours eleven villages and fifty square miles of French territory held until now by the Germans, The fighting lines extend between a great number of small villages which are usually devoted to textile Industries, while the outlying agri- cultural sections are' level fields, chiefly devoted to beet culture for the extensive sugar production. of France, Germans Are Deluded The intense bombardment of the last four days was the signal for an advance over those level fields, be- ginning at 7.30 o'clock yesterday morning The allied artillery 'then lengthened the range so as to shut off ali communication between the first German line and the German re- serves 'in the rear. This made it im- possible for the Teutons to utilize their perfect organization for the sifting of troops and for the bring- mg up of reinforcements, It is thought by French military "ob- servers that the Germans miscalcu- lated the intentions of the Entente allies and expected the attacks far- ther to the north. The villages which the French cap- tured in the first sweep include Dom pierre, Becquincourt, Bussus and Fay, and these and the towns taken by the British--Montauban and Ma- metz--were all found to have been strongly fortified by the Germans. Enemy Troops Routed The Allies, profiting from their ex- perience in the war, continually threw up strong earthworks around the villages thus taken, in order to protect them against counter-at- tacks.

What we did charge, however, and charge quickly, were our own shell holes behind the Germ trenches.

As we approached they turned the guns on us, ( 'Same of our fellows carried bombs | and hurled them into the holes as! soon as they got within reasonable) range. But we did not finish them | all in that way. There did not hap-| pen to be a bomber handy every time a machine gun sang out from a shell hole, so our lads, instead of waiting for someone with a bomb, just charg-! ed the holes.

Also it means that the Ger- man guns which have been hiding in the valley in front are now disclosed to the view of the British observers, and must either withdraw or be put out of action. Ceaseless British Barrage Fire London, July 3.--Reuter's corres- pondent at British Headquarters in France suggests that the compara tive feebleness of the German artil- lery response to the British bombard- ment arises from the same cause as the shortage of food in the German trenches, namely, the deadly charac- ter of the almost ceaseless British barrange fire which for the past week has hampered the German transport service He warns the British peo- "It was a thrilling affair while it lasted.

The German Headquarters is at St. Quentin, twenty-five miles south- east of Peronne. Already the French forces threaten Peronne with the evi- dent purposes of cutting the trunk railway there, which is an indispen- sable artery fof Gernman military re- inforcements, New German Stiategy In view of the terrific nature of the drive of July 1, it came as a sur- prise that prisoners: had not been taken by the tens of thousands. The explanation is that the French and British were not attacking trenches! similar to those in Champagne and | Artois. The Somme Valley positions were strongly held by a series of strong-holds, that is entrenched vil- lages, hillocks and blockhouses, which the Allies masked in their in- itial advance, sweeping on toward the German second line, The consequencce is that both the French and the British are now fighting two battles, one to reduce the imprisoned German garrisons, and the other to beat off the deter- mined German attacks to disengage their isolated comrades. Every hour that passes reduces the Tueton's chances of smashing this chain of fron rings which Generals Foch and Haig have drawn around the garrisoned villages, for the allies' artillery and reserves are well up.

For downright excruciating pain few allments can be compared to sciatic rheumatism. Since this condi- tion of the sciatic nerve denotes ex- haustion of the nervous system, the logical cure is found in the use of Dr, Chase's Nerve Food to nourish the starved nerves back to health and vigor. Reports are continually coming in to us regarding the splendid results obtained in the treatment of sciatié rheumatism by using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food aftér each meal and Dr. Chase's Kidpey-Liver Pills occasion- ally as a means of arousing the action of the liver, kidneys and bowels and thereby keeping the sys- tem freed of pain causing poisonous impurities, W. J. Talbot, Edenwold, Sask. writes: --*It is a great pleasure for me to recommend. Dr. Chase's Kid- ney-Liver Pills and Nerve Food as a cure for Sciatic Rheumatism.

My doctor tried many different treatments, but could only afford relief for a time. "For about five years I was sub- ject to this trouble with severe at- tacks which would last about two months. The last attack I had was shortened to two weeks by the use of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills and Nerve Food. This treatment was con- tinued until I was satisfied that the cure was lasting."
