Whole System of German Trenches on a Front of Nearly Three Miles-- More Than 500 Germans Taken Prisoners. . Paris, Nov. 8.--French troops struck a tremendous blow south of the Somme yesterday. On a front of over four kilometres (nearly three miles), extending from Chaulnes Wood to southeast: of Ablaincourt ll sugar refinery, Joffre's troops smash- §{ ed forward against the forces under | the Crown Prince of Bavaria, carry- ing the villages of Ablaincourt- and Pressoire, both of which were stFong- ly fortified, as well as Several other German positions. More than 500 prisoners were captured. THe War Office report states that the attack brought on important gains despite the heavy rain. The villages of Ab- laincourt and Pressoire were first brilliantly conquered by the infantry. Pushing their lines forward the French captured the Ablaincourt cemetery, which was strongly forti- fied by the enemy, and carried their positions as far as the outskirts of Genrecourt. The attack was launched early yes- terday morning after the artillery guns had pounded the German front throughout the night. The French swept forward against the dazed Teutons, breaking down obstacles, and inflicting heavy losses on the en- emy, who had sought refuge in their }| deep underground galleries. The advance puts Perenne, the SOUWtheYly point of the German line, in'imminent peril. The town is now practically pocketed, as was Combles juet before its fall. The fall of Peronne and Bapaume would menace the entire 100-mile Noyon salient of the German armies. Germans Admit French Success. (Special to the Whig.)
