The British today had Peronne under the same direct and flanking threat which resulted in the fall of Bapaume. Bapaume is a picture of desolation, almost as complete as that of Albert. At noo . the Australians faced Peronne across the Somme from the south and had reached until within striking distance on the north side of the river. Th? British hold the entire western ban'- of the river In coniecture with th
French while at one point they have succeeded in crossing the canal which here is practically the same as the river. Al bridges hae been smashed except Ciery towards which the Australians advanced on both sides of the river. Combles has been taken together with a battery of field guns. Comparatively few prisoners have been reported taken. So far only 260 have bee ntaken on the river below Feronne.
