The Left of Kluclk's Army Threatened.
Why did the German forces, which
were confronting us and on the eve
ming before attacking so furlously. re-
treat on the morning OF the tenth?
Because. in bringing back on the sixth,
several army corps from the south to
the north to face our left the enemy
had exposed his left TO the attacks of
the British army. which had immedi-
ately faced round toward the north
and to those OF our armies which were
prolonging the English lines to the
right. This Is what the French CONE
mand had sought to bring about. This
,s what happened on September s and
allowed of the development and re-
habilitatien which it was to effect.
"On the sixth the British army had
set out from the line Rohcy-Lagny
and had that evening reached the
southwark bank Of the Grand Moring
ON the seventh and eighth it contiu-
ued It's march and on the ninth had
debouched TO the north of the Marne
below Chateau -Thierry. taking In
flank the German forces. Then 1t was
that these forces began to retreat
while the pursuing British army
reached the Aisne between scissors
and Longueval.
Role of the French army which
was operating to the right Of the
British army was threefold. 1t was to
support our center. which from the
seventh of September had been sub
iected to a German attack of great
violence. on the seventh 1t made a
leap forward and on the following
days reached and crossed the Marnc.
on the twelfth it established itself on
the north edge of the Montagne-
Refine In contact with our center
which for its part had just forced the
enemy TO retreat in haste.
