LONDON. April 2O.-Although
the progress of the AngloF French
armies is slowed up at some points,
Field Marshal Haig and Gen. Nivelle
continue TO hammer holes in the
wings of the Hindenburg line.
Since the British opened the joint
drive on April 8, with their assaults
on the krras front, the allies have
captured nearly $4,000 prisoners
and nearly 500 guns from the Teu-
tons.
Losses of such magnitude have
been inflicted on the German armies
between the Loos-Lens sector and
the Argonne forest that Won Hinden-
burg has had to rush 100000 fresh
German troops to the imperilled
parts of the western front.
Never for an instant. by day or
night. does the pressure relax
around Lens and near St Quentin
and the Aisne river. the French
slowly but surely drive forward
against the vital railways feeding
Laon in a grand scale encircling
movement TO isolate the fortress.
Military critics believe that the
German high command is becoming
confused by the continued successes
of the allies. Certain developments
in the battle now in progress indi-
cate that recent events have caused
some OF the German commanders to
lose their heads.
