The warfare on the western front is
becoming somewhat stationary again.
as the British outposts and patrols
have come face TO face with the So
called Hindenburg line. where the Ger
mans undoubtedly will make a deter
mined stand. Their position is strong.
as they have had unlimited time in
which to prepare it. far from shell
fire. so the problem again arises of
smashing down this defense with sufi-
cient artillery TO permit another move
forward.
Minor actions continue all along the
line between the German rear guard
machine-gu detachments and the
British infantry and cavalry patrols,
but nothing approaching the proper
tions Of battle has vet developed
The Germans have placed great re-
lance on their machine guns. as many
as a score having been found grouped
in one position during the retreat.
They also have fortified every possible
position in the line of retreat, includ-
ing barbed wire entanglements about
COW barns and pig pens
The German heavy artillery is COM
inG into play again from fixed posi-
tions back of the Cambrai-St Quentin
line. 1t is reported that the German
Emperor recently visited the territory
over which the Germans retreat ed.
