Newrthe18. the considers- two shown to public anxiety has beta far greater thin on any previous occasion and completely justifies the long pressure for reform. We rejoice in particular. that th beginning of the battle of the Somme has given so much satisfaction to the French nation which Ku perhaps not quite understood our recent ailmce and our comparative immobility.

Having long ago offered to strike. we silently awaited the call. When the rail came we were ready. The word seem to have been given precisely at the right moment and the results of our intervention are we venture to think. already becoming visible at Verdun.

Our Paris Correspondent says that the Allied action in the north seals the deft of the Crown Prince in the rant. We believe this assumption although perhaps a little premature will in the end prove accurate. In the meantime natural preoccupation in the anro of our own trope has not prevented us from continuing to watch with respectful admiration the man devotion of the defenders of Verdun who have once more retaken the shattered remnant of the works at Thiumont and have sue- ccnafully resisted almost overwhelming attacks on lull 304. Our own public may again be exhorted to remember that the- Allied offensive on the Somme is only part of a greet scheme of co; ordineted strategy designed to keep everywhere. Our foes tan never in the future hope to be so strong as they are today and they will need an their strength and more.

1 The Italians are sweeping the Austrians out of the Trmtino. and their attacks in the Carnie Alps and on the J50nw front prow steadily more liolomea which bodes ill for the Austrian ttntre on the River trypa. If the- Allies are still a i long way from their goal the events of the last few days have brought them nearer to victory suet we ran truly say that on an fronts this is only a beginning. Dangerous Dusting It seems almost impoublo at. such a time as this to devote a single thought to the Irish que ion.

and we would gladly leave it in silence if there were good reason to suppose' that the situation was well in hand. Unfortunately there are signs that in this II in' so many other matters the Cabinet are drifting dangerously. Moro than a week has pentad since LORD SELDOILES resignation and the whole of it seems to been spent. to fat this question is concerned in attempts' to prevent three other Ministers from following his example. We recognite their scruples and' the Pant MtvlsTLR anxiety to meet.

Portia-1 ment with a solid front but we are quite clear that this state of things cannot be allowed' Ito continue. It an intolerable strain on those members of the Cabinet whose every effort should be concentrated at. this moment' on the needs of the Army in the field. It. is making any form of government in Ireland infinitely more difficult.

It is grossly I unfair to those Irish loaders who have lx labouring for agreement with very remark. able success but in the face of opposition' 1 which will thrive on delay. It a far more damning sign of weakness than any concession to Irish Nationalism. If as we believe MR. AsQnrB end the great majority of his colleagues' are agreed upon their policy then the sooner they put it to the test the better.

Othflnrico the last state of Ireland will be worse than under the worst form of settlement that. could i possibly be enacted. The case for prompt derision is greatly' strengthened by LORD LLSDOWNES speech of Thursday in the Lords. The one definite inference to be drawn from that cryptic utterance is that the Cabinet di cus ions have' now been transferred from general principles to detailed safeguards. Loan LXNSDOWXE i and those who think with him they are under.

stood to be Ms. Lo and LORD ROBERT Cecity may not. like MR. LLOYD Gxoacrs proposals but it seems that. they are not.

like LORD HELBOR prepared to quarrel with them outright or they would presumably have joined him when he resigned. Surely. then the time has come and more than come to carry the matter another stage by submitting the proposals to Parliament in the form of a Dill. Nothing could possibly be lees favowabb to settlement than the present atmosphere of mystery in I which rumour and intrigue have every chance I and moderate opinion has none at all. Our own belief is that moderate opinion in England is very definitely by the very rev markable progress towards agreement already reached in Ireland.

The fact. that EDWARD CARSON and MM. DJmLi have succeeded between them in finding a solution for the I Ulster problem is regarded in particular. as an enormous up in advance of the poss. lion which existed in 1914.

Every one is agreed that there must be indisputable safe. a guards for the maintenance of law and order' everywhere and above all for the unhampered operations of the Navy on which ardent Home Rule journals like The lotion are quite as explicit. as the most cautious Unionist But i there no sympathy whatever with those who 1 would conduct this controvert' as though the I Home. Rule Ad had never been pawed or the I rebellion were a rNQl for repealing it. We' I believe that an immediate and authoritative statement of the measures proposed of their reception in Ireland.

and of their supports in the Cabinet who in any CM include Some very influential Unionists would do more than anything We to clear the air of suspicion. We are quite certain that the situation will not stand any further wart. of time. llinistera are summoned to meet this morning. and the.

IlIf1ntloa obtalaed 4 to this way wU1 dtNbt- be THE GREAT BATTLE. SPECIAL ACCOUNT. THE BIGGEST BRITISH OFFENSIVE. VromOur Special Crreepeadeat BRITISH HEADQUARTERS. SATURDT.

At put 7 this morning a great battle be. gin on a front about 25 miles above and on both banks of the Somme. Perhaps it will be known in history as the Battle of the Somme. It followed as you know. on the days of in bombardment of the whole German front opposite to our lines.

French troops are cooperating with us on both side. of the Somme. We are attacking on the larger front. to the north of the valley of that river. Before this reaches you you will have received in the official communiQYfe and telegraphed dispatches accounts of the situation to a later date than this.

I will only say then. that at the tint assault we ran the enemy's front line almost everywhere and in places are now Wen within his territory. At present we know that we have taken 1500 prisoners but how many more is uncertain. The French are reported to have done even better and taken 3000. The fighting is of the most desperate character and wHl probably so contfewlor dy At the moment it is only pouible to say that we lilt oar tint thrust well horn and there every reason to be most sanguine as to the result.

While not being understood to be in the nature of an attempt to loses trial decision is the hhjge Tensive that the British troops have yet undertaken. DESCRIPTION OP THE BATTLE. 00 MILES OF UPROAR. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS. FWDAT.

or nearly four whole days Cow the 00 miles of tae lines along the- British front have been 90 miles of almost continuous chaos of uproar and desolation. Day by day our bombardment has grown in intensity until under the dreadful hurricane whole ruches of the enemy's trenches have been battered out of existence his nearer communication trenches hue been obliterated whole village behind his lines and many isolated buildings have been rendered untenable by troops woods are swept away as if a forest fire had raged through them and almost every die. coverable shelter where Ii enemy might hide has been searched out and pounded by our guns. And still it goes on mercilessly. There are doubtless particular positions which here been subjected to a severer and more concentrated fire at one time or another in this war than any individual point has td during the last four days.

But never before has there been such a bombardment on the British front so prolonged and over such an area. It is an amazing commentary on the vitality and the power of the oottlemphbhe little Army Of than two yeas ago. BOMBARDMENT BY NIGHT. List night I watched the bombardment from a position commanding a view of a Urge section of the frost and it was an inspiring sight It was a soft dark night with a light westerly wind so that the nou of the shells win borne away from us. Much has been written more in the French newspapers than in the English about the strange tie phenomena observed in this was innumerable instances being known of the sound of cannonading being plainly heard at great distances while practically mandible close at hand.

The comparative noiselesaness of the bombardment from near at hand last night was very curious. The direction of the wind accounted for something but there was undoubtedly something eh some unknown atmospheric property at work which prevented our hearing on the hilltop where I stood any sound save of the guns immediately by us with occasional bursts of sound coming quite. illogically. from far away. And all the while the flue and flashing of the shells was continuous.

Not only directly before us but to north and south far as the eye could see it was one display of fireworks. It was more constant than the flickering of summer lightning. resembling rather the fixed but quivering glow of the Aurora Borealis. One could distinguish the bunts of the great shells from the rhythmical pounding of trench mortars terrible weapons in themselves and the quick. ruddier flashing of shrapnel bursting in the smoke bank which hung overhead.

Punctuating all intensely white against the other games rose almost like a continuous fountain the tar shells and red flares like the THE BATTLEFIELD OF THE SOMME.

One ordinarily measures the weight of a bomhsrd men' by the number of ahetb that hilt in ft minute. In this case counting was hopeless. Fixing my eyes on one spot I tried to wick them as as the ligbtningi flickered and the shells beat me badly. I then tried feaHriaf my teeth. and I think that in that way I approximately held my own.

Testing it afterwards in the light where I could see a watch' face I found that I could click my teeth tome five or six times in a second. You un try it for yourself and. clicking your own teeth. will get some idea of the rate at which theta were bunting on a single spot. There were always three or four points within the field of vision at which they were bursting at that speed and always in between over the whole circuit of the field they were bunt.

ing with great if lesser rapidity. What the expenditure of ammunition is in such a boat. bardmpnt it is impossible to conjecture. when along the front of 90 miles there spa always points at which them are hunting at the rate of some hundred to a minute arid this has already gone on for four days and four nights. OUR MEN MARCHING UP.

As we stood. in the shadow of some trees 20 yards from a road which led directly down to the trenches detachments of our troops could be seen swinging across country in half-companies companies and battalions. Long before they came close one beard the steady roar of their trump uuu ways as they passed they whistled softly in unison. Some whistled TipperrJ some Come back. my Bonny to me and some best of all in the place and surroundings La Marseillaise.

As we came back along that road. fu behind the front. we saw more companies more bat. talions. On the tree-shaded road it was too dark to see them save only as vague dark masses against the light background of the highway.

One felt their presence end heard more than one saw them always the steady tramp-tramp tromp as they shouldered by and they were always whistling. Now and again a laugh broke out at some unheard joke. a completely careless laugh. as of a holiday. maker.

And knowing what it was that they I were going into. for the fiftieth time one mart veiled at the way in which British manhood has proved itself in this most terrible of ill wars. In the early hours of the morning I turned in and. as I lay tin watched the flare and flicker in the heavens- the lightning of thy footsteps in the sky. Here where other things interposed to hide the actual bunting of the shells it was more than ever like the ceaseless lifting and paling of the Northern Lights and as long as I lay awake until it was near to dawn.

it went on. It must be understood that so fu in an the fighting of the last few dos no attempt has been made to gain ground. There has been no offensive in tlie proper sense- of the word. But in the innumerable minor attacks notably in the astonishingly successful raid by the Highland 1 Light Infantry and in similar raids by the Irish i troops Muruters and Leinzters we have been inflicting heavy casualties upon the enemy quite apart from the effects of the bombardment which while invisible must have been considerable. BEGINNING OF THE ATTACK.

APPALLING GUNFIRE. MORNING. I had just finished my dispatch of yestetdty ty when information readied me of the hour at which this great attack would begin this morning. It was necea ary to be up very early. and white the night mists still hung heavy and the lwrbsg.

was soaking with dew I was on the edge of ridge by Albert overlooking the front on which the attack ait to bedelivexed I Tile plans we now knew. contemplated an advance on a front of boat 23 rules immediately to tilt" north of and on both banks of the Somme. At this southern end of the line that is on both sides of the river tit. French cooperated I with us. From' where I stood even after tin sun had di pelled the- mists this put of the line was beyond the- range of vision tit.

heights bon the Somme. by Suzanne end Veux btin only dimly visible on the fu horizon. What was immediately within view was the valley of the Anere and the town of Albert below tmr feet. and the enemy's country from by Thiepval by Ovillers la Boissetle. and La Ue itself to oritOurt and Maroetz where the line runs eastward and so passed out of sight.

A SUMMER MORNING. It was a lovely morning the sun. still low. shining directly in our fan from behind the German lines so that where we stood it was- nee iSEary to be careful in the use of Id which gash like a heliograph when the sun falls on them. and not to display white maps too ostentatiously.

Albert was almost hidden in mist except that the church tower with the wonderful spectacle of the leaning figure of the Virgin stood dear above the white bank below and gleamed golden in the sun. The advance was set for 730. For an Lour or so before that time the bombardment was perhaps more furious than ever. It warn difficult to say if it really was for it had been terribU enough when I had it from a similar position 4 hours before as it has been terribU now for days. What was curious was that wkiKi I was no nearer now than the point where I had I seen the firing at night the noise was now i almost overwhelming.

Against the sunlight the bursting of shells 1 no longer nude sodden Sashes of light. One heard the roar and saw the spurts of earth and rfcftri as the great projectiles ply to i earth and the slowly unfolding ssnna of smes i from high explosives and the flseey wlaia of shrapnel up shove. The only flsshes wtr of our own guns. At Thirpral on err left at La JJcMKa In front of us arid from Frieourt to Numb on our right the tOIWttttUon of our are truly appalling.
