putting both eyes out OF commission.

GERMAN RETREAT UN5RokEN
Over 1000 Square Miles of French
Territory Won.

Territory Won.
London.-All doubt that the Germans
are making their big retreat in north
ern France has vanished The move
ment spread until on front totalling
100 miles the Germans had given way
to a depth at many places of ten miles
or twelve miles.
The more important towns occupied
by the Allies were Peronne, on the
Somme, and Chaulnes, taken by the
British: Noyon, on the Disc, taken by
the French, and Nesle, on the upper
Somme, which troops Of both armies
entered, it being now their junction
point The British alone have taken
more than sixty villages. The area OF
the German retirement stretches from
Arras to Scissors. from the Scarpe to
the Aisne.
It is now certain that the Germans
are evacuating the whole Noyon sal
lent and drawing back to the "Hinden'
burg line" twenty-five miles to the
rear of the front they have held for
two years. On this "Hindenburg line"
fortified with tremendous strength, it
is believed they propose to make
stand.
The German withdrawal has again
brought cavalry into the warfare on
the western front With wonderment
London hears that British and French
mounted troops are actually in open
country, riding after the retreating
German rear guard in such fighting as
has not ben known for two years.
