14,000 PRISONERS TAKEN . BY THE BRITISH

ALMOST AT BAPAUME

BRILLIANT ATTACK BY NEW ZEALANDERS 1

FRENCH AT THE CHEMIN-DES-DAMES

Probably tho best budget of news since Foch's great offensive began appears in tho war dispatches to-day. Along the whole front from the Somme ta Uio Aisne the Allies have been scoring heavily. The British towl of prisoners from August lcTto date is 14,000 and many guna; the Frencii have captured several thousands, but they havo not attemwUd to count them. Both Australia and New Zealand figure prominently, the Australians at Bray-smr-Somme, and the New Ze-alanders before Bapaume. Tie New Zealsxnders, attacking with irresistible dash, swept through Loupart, taking 400 prisoners, and, prossing forward, captared Grevillers and Biefvillers, and reached Avesnes-les-Bapaume. " Nothing stops all ranks from press- , ing forward," says Sir Douglas Haig. The French patrols have crossed tho Ailette, and one unconfirmed stutoment states that they are now a,t tho famous Ohemin-des-Dames ridge. The enemy's losses have been appalling, while on our side our casualties in killed and wounded have been less than the number of prisoners captured by us.
