THE MINER WAR BULLETINS

| MONDAY, AUGUST 7

London: In a strong effort to
straighten out their line between
Pozieres and Thiepval, British
forces have captured the main
German second line defences on
a front of 2,000 yards, north of
Pozieres. The attack,which was
made by Australians and troops
of the new Kitchener army,
resulted in the taking of several
hundred prisoners. The German
counter-attacks against the new-
ly won positions were repulsed.

On the French front in the
Somme region there has been
little activity,

London (official) : Including
the capture of German’ trenches
reported today, we have, during
the last two days, pushed our line

‘ forward 400 to 600 yards over a
front of $000 yards north and
west of Pozieres,

Troops from Australia, Surrey,
Kent and Sussex participated in
this operation, and consolidated
the position won, despite shelt-
fire, which was especially heavy
near the Pozieres-Bapaume road.

Our artillery shelled La Cource-
lette and Miraumont, causing
large explosions in both places.
Three emplacements and three
ammunition stores were destroy-
ed. The enemy attempted to
seize a crater near Souchez, but
was repulsed with bombs, There
was some activity between Hooge
and St. Bloi, where the Germans
sprung a small. mine; but no
movement followed,

Petrograd: On ‘the Russian
front intense fighting is reported
taking place south of Brody, in
Galicia. Russians erossed the
Sereth and captured a position at
Poniaki-‘Ichistopady, repulsing
an enemy counter-attack against
them.

Paris: On the right bank of
the Meuse the enemy made no
attempt at Thiaumont, and we
have consolidated the positions
conquered immediately west of

the road from _Thiaumont to}:

Fleury, and in that village, the
the entire southern part of which
we hold, After a bombardment
which lasted an entire day, the
Germans launched two powerful
attacks in Vaux-le Chapitre wood.

_ One of these attacks, broken by
our fire, did not reach our lines.
The enemy, in the second attack,
succeeded in entering some ele-
ments of our trenches, but was
immediately driven out, while our
front remained intact, ;

The usual eannonade occurred
on the rest of the front.

A Belgian communication says:
Batteries ‘of all calibers succeas-

fully shelled German works ‘near |

plied feebly.
