STRONG GERMAN POSTS TAKEN. 9500 PRISONERS. Weir 2nd Year 835th Day. Long-awaited news a great British offensive readied London on Saturday morning in a terse report from Headquarters. An attack had been launched north of the River Somme at 730 that morning British troops had broken into th German forward system 01 defences on front of 16 miles and a French attack on oar right was proceeding equally satisfactorily.

The British attack was on a front of :0 miles in the country of chalk downs and Youth on either tide of the Ancre and to the north of the Somme. The French helped our troops immediately north' of the Somme and also attacked over five miles' of the enemy's lint to the south of the river. Thus the combined attacks wtro directed toward Thpaume in tho north and Peronne in tlrc south. As can be seen from the scale map on the opposite page the battle line to the east of Albert curved sharply in to the Somme valley making a great German salient with its point at Frioourt. It was in this saHent that we Yon our greatest successes on Saturday.

Late in the evening Headquarters reported that we had captured to German labyrmth or trox-tes hero on a front of seven miles and that the strongly fortified villages of Montauban of especial importance. and ilametx were in our posses. ion while Joiooart which eventually fell yesterday was threatened.

The olfotdng telegraphic dispatcher have i burl recited from General Headquarters in France SATURDAY. 1165 AM Attack launched north of Hiver Somme this morning at 730am.

in conjunction with French. i British troops have broken into German forward system of dtftnres on front of 16 miles. Fighting is continuing. French attack on our immediate right proceeding equally satisfactorily. On remainder of British front raiding i parties again succeeded in penetrating enemy's defences at many pointsinflicting loss on enemy and taking some prisoners.

1114 P31 Heavy fig11 has continued all day between the Rivers Somme and Ancre and north of the Ancre as far as Gommecourt inclusive. The fight on the whole of this front still continues with intensity. On the right or our attack we hue I captured the German labyrinth of trenches on a. front or seven miles to a depth of 1000 yards and hate stormed and occupied the strongly-fortified villages of Montauban and Mametz both east of Fricourt. which is east of Albert i In the Ctntro of our attack on a front 1 of four miles we have gained many strong points while at others the enemy is till i holding out and the struggle on this front is still severe.

North of the Ancre valley to Gomme- I court inclusive the battle has own equally violent and in this area we have been unable to retain portions of the ground gained. in our first attacks. while other I portions remain in our pot csion. Up to date over 2000 German prisoners have passed through our collecting stations including two regimental commanders and the whole of one regimental staff. The large number of the enemy dead on the battlefield indicates that the German casualties have ken very severe i especially in the vicinity of Fricourt east ofAibert Last night parties of our troops penetrated into the German trenches at various points on the front between Souchez and Ypres.

GENERAL JOFFRES STRATEGY. 1 SAYING THE INFANTRY From Our Military Correspondent. PARIS JtLT 2. I returned here from Italy on Saturday at the exact hoar when the Allied offensive on the Somme began and had the pleasure or ewnununi eating tho first news or the French sue! rest to General rtT. Chief of to Russian General Stall Lo is hue on Ii short wt while congratulating him upon the victories of the Russian Armies.

lie spoke in the highest terms of the British Armies with whose progress lie has been kept well informed by the Russian military i missions abroad. I The success of the preliminary attacks or' the Allies on both sides of the Somme has caused the liveliest satisfaction here. but every one I cognizes that the enemy is strong and his dei fences powerful and that his resistance i sure to be desperate. The attack has been impatiently awaited in France and there 5 no harm in say. ing now that we were ready to begin long I and that the date selected for the first infantry I attack was fixed by General Joflre who haul to take all the circumstance into account.

The. cooperation of the French Allies has been I shown to Le perfect while our Belgian friends in the north have played a useful part by taking over more of the line and by hammering the German with their guru during the preliminary t. I A FAIR GROUND. The theatre selected for the French effort is more favourable than that to which Lord French was necessarily restricted last yeur. It is sin agricultural not a mining.

district and there ere none of those extensive- villages and agglomerations such II are J110UIId round the mining centres further north. which afforded 1 the Germans such useful paints of support. In Picardy on th Somme the ground it open and only slightly nT The no small and contain only a few hundred inhabitants in ordinary times while there is a better field of tire for our guns and more scope for employing superior forces. There a fair field and no our. and here we have elected to fight out.

3 our quarrel" ith the Germans and to give them as much battle as they want. I The tactics hitherto followed have born those which I ventured to recommend in an article on the Western Front published in The Times on January JO. It is a methodical attack which makes full use of modem artillery and does nut impose upon the infantry. a number of distant objectives until each position won I has been consolidated and secured and the guns made read to support the. next advance.

In these tactics the artillery plays a leading r6te and the infantry suffers leas lost than in the old 5 style attacks but. the task of the infantry it still a heavy one. and we must expect a good many set-backs before we gain our ends. 5 EVERYTHING HAS GONE WELL. I Meanwhile.

everything Ira gone well. Our troops hue successfully carried out. their rniseions. all counter-attacks have been repulsed and large numbers of prisoners have been I taken. i Many interesting novelties have bw intro.

such as tm. massacre of rachcn obser vatic balloons by which the Germans are td of tonic of their eyes. There also the 7 rocormoitring raid. used to establish beyond doubt the result of artillery preparation. The lying Corps his been as active as ever while the cavalry in this country have more chance of bearing a land and in short all the tseana of modern war can be profitably employed.

The point whirl has not been made dear the character of too attack at oint other than those selected for the main efforts. My preference all for the tactics of General Hnuiloff who attacked all along his lint' throwing his weight on certain points and thus preventing the Austrian from cones. tasting a auut the main attacks. When this i not done superior numbers do not exert their lull influence and there is a risk that the enemy may aeeumulsto all his re- nerves a sint the main attacks and make their more problematical. We shall doubt- soon see that.

we are only at. the initial' period of preparations and that these sad other matters ha been fully considered. HM GERMAN ADMISSIONS. WITHDRAWAL BOTH SIDES OF THE SOMME. DULn.

To the north and south of the Somme following upon artillery preparations and reconnawancn carried out during the. preceding days the Franco-British troops this morning developed an offensive action on a front or about 40 kiometrea about 25 miles and during the after.

jnoon along the whole of the front of. attack the Allied troops captured the I first line German positions. I i North of the Somme the French troops established themselves at the approaches to the village cf Hwecourt and on the fringe of the village of Curlu where fighting continues. South of the Somme the villages of I Dompierre JBecquincourt Busau and Fay fell into our hands. I The un wounded German prisoners' taken by the French troops alone during the day exceed 3500.

Air operations. Luring the night of June :9.30 a number of our aircraft' carried out the following bombard-1 ments Eighteen bombs were dropped on the station of Xee about :10 milt'S south of Amiens and gixj bombs on Roe about 26 miles southeast of miens where a fire broke out. I Two bombs thrown on a train of motor-1 cars north of Xe16 were seen to fall amongst the cart i On the same night 13 of our aircraft dropped 60 bombs on a German muni- 1' tions factory near Xoon 40 miles south- I1 east of Amiens The objective was attained by a large proportion of the projectiles 1. the effect or which could be observed. In the night of June July 1 sewn 11 of our machines again dropped 13 bombs on the station of Xeste and on the level- crowing and six on a neighbouring military establishment where a fire was observed.

During a reconnaissance one of our I' pilots was attacked by a Fokker and I wounded at the beginning of the engage- ment but succeeded in bringing down t' his adversary who fell in the Forest of Bezahges. On returning the same pilot again' attacked by an enemy biplane and 1 wounded a second time. succeeded in i getting ay and returned to our lines. AFTERNOON. To the north of the Somme the fight.

I ing has been fierce during the night. The Germans launched some violent counter- I attacks against our new positions in the I1 neighbourhood of Hardecourt. Our curtain and infantry fire inflicted important losses on the enemy who WM obliged to efall back in disorder leaving 200 prisoners in our hands including six i i officers. Following up our advantages on the right bank of the river we took possession after a lively struggle. of the village I of Curlu.

which we occupy in its entirety. To the south of the Somme we have maintained all the positions conquered by us yesterday and made some progress in the course or the night between llerbecourt and Assevillers. According to further information the. total number of German unwounded prisoners taken by the French troops yesterday exceeds 5000. SUNDAY NIGUT.

North or the Somme fighting continued all day in our favour in the region of lIarderourt and Curtu. To the east of the latter village in particular. we carried a quarry which had been btrongly fortified by the enemy. To the south of the Somme we gained a footing at numerous points in the second German position between the river and The village or Frve fell into our hands as well a the Mereaucourt Wood. situated further to the east.

The" bodied prisoners captured by I the French troops during July 1 and 2 at present exceed 6000 in number. including at least 150 officers. Guns and a great quantity or material also fell into our hands. Thanks to the very complete and effective artillery preparation thanks also to the dub of our infantry. our losses have been very slight.
