THE SAILLY SAILISLEL VICTORY.
THE GERMANS APPREHENSIVE. TAKING TO BURROWS. Australian and N.Z. Cade A ssociation. Received Oct. 21, 10.20 a.m. New York. Oct. 20. Despatches from the French field headquarters declare that the French victory at Sailly Saillisel increased the Allied breach in the Gorman line to a maximum depth of over eleven miles, and the Allies will soon he in a position for most effective assaults simultaneously bn three sides. The Germans, fearing this development, are constructing deep subterranean tunnels on a scale hitherto unequalled for sheltering a thousand and providing for rapid transfer underground from place to place. The tunnels are equipped with miniature railways for transportation of machine guns and ammunition and lead to exits where lifts transport guns and crews to the surface or permit them to descend the tunnel to other points with maximum rapidity.
