Another brilliant local success followed on Wednesday when the French

reached the Guillemont-Maurepas road at certain points, and took all the German positions east of the Maurepas-Clery road to a depth of five hundred to six hundred yards on a front of over a mile. Guillemont, absolutely girded with scientific defences, is still a serious obstacle in the British path, but the magnificent co-operation of the British and French movements with the achieve- ment of the French in reaching the Guillemont-lfaurepas road shows plainly enough what will happen in due course.
