21 SEPTEMBER 1918, Page 1

In Flanders we have continued day by day to nibble

at the defences of La Bassee, the southern pivot of the German lines before Lille. Fosse 8 and the "Dump," famous in the fighting of 1915, were captured on Friday week. The village of Auchy-lez- La Bessie fell lakt, Saturday. Further progress has since been made in the maze of trenches beyond.
