regarding the operations in northern
France:
There is virtually no change in the
situation. The allied left has had
some heavy fighting, but is well hold

blows have been struck by each side,
but the armies remain virtually
where they were when the Germans
stopped their retirement and entrench
ed themselves IS days ago.

In the west the wings were in close
touch, the Germans holding Lassigny,
which lies between Ribecourt and
Roye. which are in possession OF the
French, and also Chaulnes, which is
in an almost direct line between Reyes
and Albert.

attempting wide turning movement

emily had sent out strong opposing
forces. The French announcement
says the Germans have continued their
