unabated fury. The honors of the
last "a hours fighting have been with
the French who are pushing forward
steadily taking all precautions that
the nature of the operations call for

northwest by the Omignon river.

most of the Somme tributaries runs
through broad valley full of swamps
and clumps of trees which greatly in
creases its defensive value. To the
west the approaches to the city are

natural obstacle and with but few viii

St Quentin. At Savy, the most favor
able point, the Germans have built
their main defensive line
The German right runs from the
Omignon river at Nermand tothe Hol-
non wood and their center is at SaVy
