alliances similar to that with our al

strengthened and become still more

The Germans made heavy and use
less sacrifices, the statement says
in several attacks on positions cap
mrcd by the French between tho
Sommc aud the Disc. Wherever they
approached a French position they
were thrown back by counter attacks
The pressure OF the French from St
Quentin to the Aisne is SO powerful
that il begins TO seem doubtful, in the
opinion OF the French military critics,
as to whether the Germans will be
able to hold on TO the so-called Hin
denburg line, The invaders have
opened the sluiccs at La Fcrc, appar'
entity feeling that their chances Of
holding the town are not good now
that the French have got footing on
the high ground in the Jussy region,
northeast OF Tergnier. II General Nj
velle is able to establish himself in
this position his guns will command
La Fere.
Further south the French are max
ing solid progress against the five
mile salient covering ST. Gobain and
formed by the lower Coucy forest.
The columns here are working hand
in hand with columns operating north
east OF scissors, in the direction of
Laon. The latter made continuous
progress and their advance exposes
the left extremity OF the German line
at ST. Gobain TO the risk of being out
flanked and driven back TO Laon. II
is evident that the German staff Is
alive to the growing danger and that
they are making desperate efforts to
check the French advance.
