(Received 9.15 p.m.) OTTAWA, Sept. 27. The Americans north-west of Verdun have penetrated the enemy lines to an average depth of seven miles and captured twelve towns. They have also secured more than five thousand prisoners.—A. and N.Z. PARIS, Sept. 26. The Fourth French Army is engaged. The new battlefield is the same as on the 25th September, 1915.
