SIX ENTIRE VILLAGES CAPTURED BY BRITISH More Than 3,000 German Prisoners Taken and Their Casualties Were Heavy-: Haig Dominates ." Line of Communication. British soldiers are now entrench ed on the crest of most of the high ground in the famous Ypres sali.ent, as a result of a tremendous blow given the Germans yesterday, crt.an eight mile fronts east and north e" of Ypres. Driven from the hifcii i ground, the Germansnow wiir be ish, whnc the British artillery throws shell after shell upon the German de fenses and lines of communication. Field Marshal Haig's latest stroke surprised his adversaries, as they were about to" renew their: attacks against him. The British barrage mowed the massed Germans diwn and those remaining were annihilated in the rush of the British troops. At no point along the attacking front was the German resistance very great, al though the British had difficulty in overcoming the concrete redoubts bristling with machine guns. The villages" of Reutel, Noorden hoek, Polderh k, Molenaarelsthoek, Broodseinde and Gravenstafel were captured In their entirely,! and . the C'TA.f By the capture of Broodseinde, the BritishT established themselves well over the crest of ihe-ridge, five miles east of Ypres. ..From here they can bombard the?: Boulers-Menin railroad, the principal German line pf commun ication in the Ypres sector. In addition to the loss of positions of great importance, Germans sus tained very heavy casualties, as a re sult of the British barrage. More than 3,000 German prisoners were taken, half of them being wounded. The German losses were so severe that Crown Prince Rupprecht at tempted only a few counter attacks. These were easily broken up. The political situation in Russia again has become acute, and Premier Kerensky has thrown down the gaunt let to the Democratic Congress. Con trary to the demands of the Congress, he has premised that he will today announce a new coalition ministry. This will include members of the powerful Constitutional Democratic party to which the Congress has been bitterly opposed- The course of events during the night gave further evidence of the severity of the shock given the Ger mans in yesterday's thrust. They. kept up a heavy artillery fire during the night, but did not deliver a single counter attack. Meanwhile, the Brit ish were busy consolidating their new positions. ;- ; On the French front, General Pe tain's troops had to cope with several surprise attacks by the Germans last night, notably in the Champagne and in upper Alsace.
