CROSS SELUNE RIVER lOoatlnu*q »tw ruga » day. He *aid the attacks had not yet attained the scope of a general offensive. German broadcast* reported flaring action below Caen and said a large scale drive "can be assumed to have been launched.” The Canadians charged out of their sill trenches three hour* before dawn, after a heavy artillery barrage, anil drove forward in a heavy fog. Wilson said one Canadian attack centered south of Hubert-Foile in the area of Tilly lai Campagne, which the Canadian* captured last week but loat after a short time. Other supporting attack* were opened on the flanks of this thrust. British troops carried out intense patrol act ions east and northeast of Caen during lhe night, suggesting the possibility of impending offensive operations which would have the French front ablaxe from end to end. Officially the bag of prisoners siood at 10,500 in lhe American drive, which had carried 35 mile* in exactly seven days since the take-off from the St. Lo-Perier* road. Some knots of resistance remained to be cleaned out. but to all intonta and purposes the country above Avranche* west of a line running roughly through Villedieu, Percy, and Tessy now was clear of the enemy and firmly held by infantry flooding down the roads in lhe wake of Uradl-y's armor. It seemed likely that the Tessy salient, which the Germans hacked out by throwing in the second panser division, would be eliminated quickly as the Americans inched in on the town itself and fought half a mile from Vliledieu. with the British developing a serious threat to the German rear.
