Operations.-As a result of munor operations south of Outtersteene and the enenyys withdrawal in the neighbourhood of Merville, our Hne now runs south from Outtersteene, east of Neuf Berquin, east of Merville, west of the Lawe to le Touret. Our hne has also been advanced by means of successful local operations west of Dranoutre, east of Givenchy ez¬ La Basse, where the old British front Hne has now been reoccupied, north of Fampoux and south of Neuville-Vitasse. On the 21st August, an attack was launched between Moyenneville and Beaucourt-sur Ancre, the villages of Courcelles and Achiet-le- Petit being captured, and an advance made to a maximum depth of 8 mules. On the 22nd August, we attacked between Albert and Bray, and advanced to an average depth of 8,000 yards. On the 23rd August, the attack north of the Ancre was continued with success, and the villages of Boiry, Boyelles, Ervillers, Achiet le- Grand and Bihucourt fell into our hands. Our troops crossed the Ancre and seized the heights east of Albert, while south of the Somme the enemy was driven from Chuignes, Chuignolles and Herleville. On the 24th August, further progress was made between the River Cojeul and Albert, and our Hne advanced to Henin - western outskirts of Croisilles east of Behagnies and Sapignies - western outskirts of Avesnes ez-Bapaume -Warlencourt —1 mile west of le Sars east of Courcelette- Contalmaison. Bray was also captured during the day. By the evening of the 25th, le Barque, Costahmaison, Mametz and Carnoy were in our possession. During these operations, 881 oficers, over 18,000 other ranks and 68 guns have been captured. The French have made considerable progress along the whole front between Lassigny and Soissons; they have reached the River Divette, which has been crossed at Evricourt, and hold the line of the Oise as far east as Pont St. Mard; thence the line runs south to Soissons. Distribution of the enemnys forces. In the British attack between the Scarpe and the Somme, 22 German divisions have been identided since the 21st August. Ten of these were originally in Hne, and 6 fresh and 7 tired divisjons from reserve have reinforced the front. In addition to the above 22 divisions,4 divisions, which were engaged in the Franco-British attack south of the Somme on the 8th August, and between them lost 8,000 prisoners, have again been thrown into the battle. Between the Somme and the Oise, a total of 41 divisions,and between the Oise and the Aisne, a total of 15 divisions have been engaged since the 8th August. Thus, a total of 78 divisions, 24 of which were fresh from reserve, have been engaged between the Scarpe and the Aisne since the 8th August. One more German division has been disbanded, thus reducing the total number of German divisions on the WVestern front to 200 infantry and 4 dismounted cavalry divisions, of which 18 infantry divisions and I dismounted cavalry division in reserve are dt for offensive operations. There are indications, however, that 4 more German divisions have been, or are in the course of being, disbanded, which would reduce the total number of German divisions in the Western Theatre from 200 to 196, and the battalions from 1,856 to 1,820. Two Austro-Hungarian divisions have now been identided in Hne in quiet sectors on the Western front, at Verdun and in WVoövre. Besides these 2 divisjons,there are considered to be 2 others in the Western Theatre. Rear organizations.- Between the Ypres- Comines Canal and the La Bassée Canal, considerable activity on defences is reported. In the Lys salient, no attemipt has been made to construct an organized trench system, but the enemys apparent intention is to create a heavily wired outpost zone covering the general lne Lestrem—Estaires —Steenwerck- Neuve Eglise. In this connection,it is interesting to note that prisoners have referred to the bringing up by barge of concrete blocks and cement for the purpose of repairing old lines in the neighbourhood of Armentières. Ammunition dumps south west of Lille show an increase, 2 more forward hospitals have been withdrawn and have reopened on the Aubers Ridge,important bridges overthe Lawe have been blown up, while fres and explosions have been general along the whole front from Houthem to the La Bassée Canal Railway improvements continue to be efected westof Lille, and a new rallhead is in process of forming at Pérenchies. The big dump at Ytres appears to be in the process of removal. South of the Somme, large numbers of new bridges have been thrown over the river between Frise and Voyennes, and work has taken place on trenches east of the river. The movement back of aerodromes and hospitals from west and south of the river is still very pronounced. Aerodrome accomimodation has considerably increased south-west and north east of St. Quentin. Artüllery.Activity clearly indicates continued apprehe sion on the Kemmel front, and to a lesser degree in the Scarpe Valley. There is a marked distribution in depth along the whole front. Shelling of back areas has been practically confned to the Foret de Nieppe¬ Lens area Locations in the Lys salient are approximately on the Une la Crèche-Steenwerck- Estaires, and thence east of and parallel to the Estaires-- La Bassée road. On the battle front, artillery is keeping well back and avoiding as far as possible risk of capture. Wireless.— There is fairly defnite evidence that the enemy is anxious to convey an impression of strength north of Bailleul. He is still apprehensive between La Bassée and the battle front south of the Scarpe. The continned heavy registration south of the Somme indicates no immediate voluntary withdrawal in that sector. [P.T.O.
Conclusion. The enemy had made preparations to meet an ofensive south of Arras and had reinforced his reserves between Douai and the Somme, which had been dangerous y reduced as a result of our attack on the 8th August, by 7 divisions, of which 8 had been moved from Flanders and 4 had been transferred fron the Crown Princes Group. Since the 21st August, no further divisions have been withdrawn from the Crown Prince's Group, but 8 more divisions from Flanders and I division from Alsace have reinforced, while 4 divisions that were heavily engaged on the 8th August and folowing days have been put into the battle again. The re-engagement of the latter divisjons provesthat theenen y isendeavouring to build up a reserve of good divisions, without which he cannot hope to regain the initiative, and is prepared to use up tired divisions to the utmost in order to do this. Many of his divisions, however, between the Scarpe and Soissons win have to be rehieved if hestands on his present hne. The eneuny is Hikely, therefore, to withdraw to an organized defensive position, such asthe Drocourt -Quéant Line and Hindenburg Line, or possibly to a water line such as the Canal du Nord, the Somme and the Nesle-Noyon Cana), as soon ashe can disengage his troops. Such a withdrawal cannot be carried out under pressure, and our attack will undoubtedly mieet with resistance, especially on the northern Hank where our advance begins to threaten the Drocourt- Quéant Line. The enemy made only local counter-attacks against our advance on the 8th August, and as thestate of his reserves has not improved since then, it is unlikely that he will attempt a co unter attack in strength to rehieve the situation on the present battle front. The enemy is engaging his reinforcing divisions as soon as they reach the battle front and he will probably continue his local attacks with the object of bringing our advance to a standstill before beginning a deliberate withdrawal. The reduction of the enemys reserves in Flanders has increased his nervousness in the Kemmel sector; there are no signs of any further withdrawal in the Lys salient at present. Between the La Bassée Canal and the Scarpe, the enemys attitude is still defensive. He apparently anticipates the extension of theleft dank ofour present attackto north of the Scarpe. The arrival of Austrian divisions in the Western Theatre will not do more than compensate for the disbanding of German divisions, of which 5 have been recently reported to have been broken up. There are no indications of the transfer of any Gemman divisions to either the Russian or Italian Theatres. General Staf (Intelligence) Geueral Headquarters. 26th August, 1918.

Weekly 

Summary of 
Information, 
26th August, 1918.
Operations.—As a result of 
minor operations south

 of Outtersteene and the enemy's
withdrawal in the neighbourhood
 of Merville, our line now runs 
south from Outtersteene, east
of Neuf Berquin, east of Merville, 

west of the Lawe to le Touret. 

Our line has also been
advanced by means of 

successful local 
operations west of 

Dranoutre, east of 

Givenchy lez-La Basse,
where the old British 

front line has now been 
reoccupied, north of 
Fampoux and
south of Neuville-Vitasse.
On the 21st August, an attack was 
 launched between Moyenneville 

and Beaucourt-sur-Ancre, 
the villages of Courcelles and Achiet-le- 

Petit being captured, and an advance made to a
maximum depth of 3 miles. On the 22nd August, 

we attacked between Albert and Bray, and
advanced to an average depth of 3,000 yards.

 On the 23rd August, the attack north of the
Ancre was continued with success, and 
the villages of Boiry, Boyelles, Ervillers, Achiet le-Grand
and Bihucourt fell into our hands. Our troops crossed 
the Ancre and seized the heights
east of Albert, while south of the 

Somme the enemy 
was driven from 

Chuignes, Chuignolles
and Herleville. On 

the 24th August, 
further progress was 
made between 

the River Cojeul and
Albert, and our line 
advanced to Henin—
western outskirts of Croisilles—

east of Behagnies and
Sapignies—western outskirts of Avesnes ez-

Bapaume—Warlencourt—1 

mile west of le Sars
—east of Courcelette—
Contalmaison. Bray was 
also captured during 

the day. By the evening
of the 25th, le 

Barque, Costahmaison, 

Mametz and Carnoy
were in our possession.
During these 

operations, 381 officers, over 
18,000 other 
ranks and 68 guns have been
captured.
The French
 have made considerable 
progress along

 the whole front between 

Lassigny and
Soissons ; they 
have reached the 
River Divette, 
which has been crossed at 

Evricourt, and hold
the line of the Oise 
as far east as Pont St. Mard; 
thence the line runs 
south to Soissons.
Distribution of

the enemy's forces.–
In the British attack
between the Scarpe and
the Somme, 22 German divisions 

have been identified since the 21st 

August. Ten of these
were originally in line, and 6 fresh 

and 7 tired divisions from reserve have 
reinforced the front.
In addition to the above 
22 divisions, 4 divisions, which 
were engaged in 
the Franco-British
attack south of the Somme on 
the 8th August, 
and between them lost 8,000 

prisoners, have
again been thrown into the battle.
Between the Somme and the Oise,
a total of 41 divisions, and between 

the Oise and the
Aisne, a total of 15 divisions have 
been engaged since the 8th August.
Thus, a total of 78 divisions, 24 of 
which were fresh from reserve, 
have been engaged
between the Scarpe and 
he Aisne since the 8th August.
One more German division
 has been disbanded, thus 

reducing the total number of German
divisions on the Western front to 200
 infantry and 4 dismounted 

cavalry divisions,

 of which
18 infantry divisions and 
I dismounted cavalry division in 
Reserve are fit for offensive
operations.
There are indications, 

however, that 4 more German
 divisions have been, or are in the
course of being, disbanded, 

which would reduce the total number 

of German divisions in the
Western Theatre from 200 to 196, and 
the battalions from 1,856 to 1,820.
Two Austro-Hungarian divisions have now 
been identified in line in quiet sectors on the
Western front, at Verdun and in Woëvre. 
Besides these 2 divisIons,
 there are considered to
be 2 others in the Western Theatre.
Rear organizations.–Between the Ypres—
Comines Canal and the La Bassée 

Canal,
considerable activity on defences is 

reported. 

In the Lys salient, no attempt has been 
made to
construct an organized trench system, 
but the enemy's apparent intention 
is to create a heavily
wired outpost zone covering the
general line Lestrem—Estaires—
Steenwerck—Neuve Eglise.
In this connection, it is interesting to 
note that prisoners have referred to 
the bringing up by
barge of concrete blocks 

and cement for the purpose
of repairing old 
lines in the 
neighbourhood
of Armentières. 

Ammunition 
dumps south 
west of Lille show 
an increase, 2 
more forward
hospitals 

have been 
withdrawn and 
have

 reopened 
on the

Aubers Ridge, 

important 

bridges over the
Lawe have 
been blown 
up, while fires
 and explosions 

have been 

general along 
the whole front
from Houthem to the La 
Bassée Canal Railway 
improvements continue 

to be effected west of
Lille, and a new railhead 

is in process of 
forming at Pérenchies.
The big dump at Ytres 
appears to be in 

the process of removal.
South of the Somme, 
large numbers of new 
bridges have been 
thrown over the river
between Frise and Voyennes, 
and work has taken

place on 

trenches east of the river. The
movement back of 
aerodromes and hospitals
 from west and south of 

the river is still very
pronounced. Aerodrome 
accommodation has 
considerably increased south-

west and north-east
of St. Quentin.
Artillery.–Activity 

clearly indicates 

continued
 apprehension on the 
Kemmel front, and
to a lesser degree 

in the Scarpe Valley. 
There is a 
marked distribution in 
depth along the
whole front. Shelling of back 
areas has been 

practically confined to the Foret

 de Nieppe–Lens
area
Locations in the Lys salient are 
approximately on the line la Crèche—
Steenwerck—Estaires,
and thence east of
 and parallel to the Estaires—
La Bassée road.
On the battle front, 
artillery is keeping well back

and avoiding as
far as possible risk of
capture.
Wireless.—
There is fairly definite evidence 
that the enemy 
is anxious to convey an
impression of 

strength north of Bailleul.
He is still apprehensive 
between La Bassée
 and the battle front 
south of the Scarpe.
The continued heavy 

registration south of 

the Somme indicates
no immediate voluntary
withdrawal in that sector.
[P.T.O.
 

 

Conclusion. The enemy had made
preparations to meet an offensive 
south of Arras and
had reinforced his reserves 
between Douai

 and the Somme, which had

 been dangerously reduced
as a result of our attack on the 8th 

August, by 7 divisions, of which 3 had
been moved from
Flanders and 4 had 

been transferred 
from the Crown 
Prince's Group. 

Since the 21st August,
no further divisions
 have been 

withdrawn 
from the Crown 
Prince's Group, 
but 3 more divisions
from Flanders and 1
division from 

Alsace have reinforced, 
while 4 divisions t
hat were heavily
engaged on the 8th August 
and following days 
have been put into 
the battle again. The
re-engagement of the latter 
divisions proves that 
the enemy is 

endeavouring 
to build up a reserve
of good divisions, 
without which he cannot 
hope to regain the initiative, 
and is prepared to use
up tired divisions to the 
utmost in order to 
do this. Many of 

his divisions, 

however, between
the Scarpe and 
Soissons win have
 to be relieved
 if he stands on 
his present line. 
The enemy is
likely, therefore, to 

withdraw to an 

organized 

defensive position, 
such as the 
Drocourt—Quéant
Line and Hindenburg Line, 

or possibly to a water line such as the 

Canal du Nord, the 

Somme and
the Nesle—Noyon Canal, as soon 
as he can disengage his troops. 

Such a withdrawal cannot be
carried out under pressure, 
and our 
attack will undoubtedly meet 
with resistance, especially on
the northern flank where our 
advance begins to threaten

 the Drocourt—
Quéant Line. The
enemy made only
 local counter-attacks 

against our advance 
on the 8th August,
and as the state
of his reserves 
has not improved 

since then,It is unlikely that he 
will attempt a co unter-attack
in strength to relieve the situation 
on the present battle front. 
The enemy is engaging his
reinforcing divisions as soon as 
hey reach 
the battle front and he 

will probably
 continue his
local attacks with the object of
 bringing our advance 

to a standstill before beginning a
deliberate withdrawal.
The reduction of the enemy's 
eserves in Flanders has increased 
his nervousness in the
Kemmel sector; there are no signs

 of any further withdrawal in the

 Lys salient at present.
Between the La Bassée Canal and 

the Scarpe, the enemy's 
attitude is still 
defensive. He
apparently anticipates
 the extension of 
the left flank of our 
present attack to 

north of the Scarpe.
The arrival of Austrian 

divisions in the 
Western Theatre 

will not do more 
than compensate
for the disbanding

 of German divisions, 
of which 5 have been 

recently reported
 to have been
broken up. There are no 
indications of the 
transfer of any German 

divisions to either the
Russian or Italian Theatres.
