lies, the western flank of the German
army under General Won Kluck has
been broken and is in complete rout,"
says a Paris dispatch. IAN the auto
mobiles in northern France have been
requisitioned for the purpose of pur-
suit. Armored motor cars with mitrail-
leuses are also being used to pursue
the retreating enemy"
The official communication issued at
o'clock demonstrates Enthusiastically
that the Germans have been surround.
ed in the Somme department, the
French front extending further east.
1t is officially stated that Peronne
has been recaptured.
Fighting of the past few days,
which took the form of heavy offens-
i've operations, has beaten back the
opposing armies in northern France.
Some hard blows have been struck by
each side, but the allies continue to
advance on the west wing.
The lines Of the allies are roughly
| sketched in the statement and it Is
gathered that the French right still
rests on Pont-a-Mousson and from
there turns southwark to cross the
Mouse near ST. Mihiel, where the Ger
mans have succeeded in pushing a con-
tingent forward.
Thence the front proceeds north
ward to encircle Verdun, from which
fortress it strikes directly westward to
Rheims and thence northwestward
across the river Aisne at Berry.au-B Boa.
1t follows the Aisne to Scissors and
runs from there northwestward, cross
ing the river Disc at Ribecourt to
Roye, Albert and Combles. The two
latter places are north of the Somme.
In the west the wings are in very
close touch. the Germans holding Las
signy, which lies between Ribecourt
and Roye. which are in possession of
the French. and also Chaulnes, which
is in an almost direct line between
Roye and Albert.
1t is here that the allies have been
making wide turning movement, to
prevent which the Germans have ap-
forces. The French announcement
says that the Germans have con-
tinued their day and night attacks only
to be repulsed. but it is evident they
are showing plenty of fight and are
making supreme effort to prevent
the allies from working around their
right

The French also report that they
