Aug. 2D. The Brit- I ish are getting a strontter up- on the ridjje from I'ozlcres to High-wood. Eitst nlKhl the Australiaus gained a little more ground, so that' they pushed out a line to the north- enst of Mouquet farm. Scottish troops to their right gained another hundred yards of that famous switch line, into which I took a walk! day before yesterday to see how the held the Oermans last line of defence on tho way to ilartinpuieh.

The switch line Is only a name is leally nothing; but a series of shell niters, in which the Ttritish have to get what cover they can after chas-ine out the Hermans before digging ami strengthening an effective trench. The importance of the position is entirely one of observation. It gives tin British vantage points from which they can observe the German movements down the slope, rake them with rifle and machine-i'itii lire if they send out working1 parties I and turn guns on them with direct observation of the results. Undoubtedly the Oermans will have to withdraw tlP'ir butteries long.
