respondent OF The Associated Press)-
The resistance OF the German army
appears to increase in accordance with
the nearness OF the British approach
to the Hindenburg positions. This is

the top OF the original HindenburR
line running from just southeast OF
Arras toward Queant.

part of the Germans since the war
began. Trench warfare for the time
being is forgotten. The Germans, away
