BRIMONT STRATEGIC
POINT IN STRUGGE
ALONG AISNE RIVER
Capture of Fortified Hill
Would Break Won kluk S
Direct Line of Communica-
ton With Centre.

NEW YORK, SEPT. 2l.-The furious
fighting at Rheims indicates all import
ant development of the Allies efforts to
cut off General Won Kluk's right wing
from the main German army Won kluk s
line of communication with the centre is
maintained by the railway that runs from
Loan thirty miles southeast Of Rheims
This railway is dominated by three per-
manent fortifications on the hill OF Bri-
mont 10 the north of Rheims.
If Brimont is taken by the French Won
kluk's direct railway connection with
the central German army will vanish.
ReinforCements for him will have to
make CirCuitOus journey by rail of three
times the distance now separating the
headquarters of the German right and
centre. 1t is of the utmost importance
for the Germans to keep open a route
for rapid strengthening of their right
wing at any time that the envelopng
movement of the Allies becomes danger
Gus. This accounts for the desperate
efforts of the French to seize Brimont
and the tenacity with which the Germans
are holding fast to the hill.
The Allies are carefully concealing the
places occupied during the Oise advance.
The progress reported, if consistent,
must however, soon begin to tell. As
yet, these western gains have not coin
cided with the French at Rheims. II the
Brimont hill falls into the possession of
the French nnd at the same time the Al
lies reach their objective along the Disc.
Won kluk's position will be in the highest
degree precarious. Four highways will
be open to him for keeping in touch with
the main German force. but the loss of
the Rheims railroad will be a serious
handicap. particularly at this time when
the heavy rains have made road travel
SO difficult.
