encountered an army corps composed
OF troops which the Germans brought
from the center of Lorraine and the
Vosges.

between Tergnier and st. Quentin, so

cradle advance to the northwest since
the last mention was made of this
part of their army.

be depending TO complete the isola-
tion of the German right and to en-
velop the armies of Won Kluck and
Won Boehm.
