FRESH TRIUMPHS BY THE ALLIES

KEMMEL HILL RETAKEN ; CANADIANS BREAK FAMOUS HINDENBURG LINE ALLIED SCORE IN SIBERIA GERMAN-BOLSHEVIK FORCES ■DEFEATED. ■ Mont Kemmel, tho famous Flanders height which was so desperately contested in April, is again in Allied hands, and with it tho British troops have recovered a considerable tract of the ground tho jenemy had occupied in the Lys salient. Though the'enemy is fighting hard, the Allies are at many-points pressing forward irresistibly. The British have gained more ground in the fortified area east of Arras, in the Bullecourt region, and beyond Bapaume. They have also captur'ed Mont St. Quentin. (to be distinguished from the great railway junction to the near neighbourhood of which the Allies advanced their line last year). Mont St. Quentin dominates'Peronne and outflanks the northward reach of the Somme on which the Germans lately took up a defensive stand. The French have- gained important ground further south, notably Mont St., Simeon, a commanding height north of the Oise, and a bridgehead north of Jhe Ailette. They have further advanced, also, between the Ailette and the Aisne.' It is reported from Vladivostok that Allied troops, chiefly Japanese, have heavily defeated a Bolshevik, and German force on tho Tfsuri line, in Eastern Siberia. The enemy casualties totalled five thousand. According to a. Russian official message and .others an attempt was made on Lenin's life at Moscow on August 30. No reference is made to the fact that he' was recently reported to hav.e fled to Kronstadt. A big strike, involving two hundred thousand workpeople, is said to We broken out in Westphalia.
