British Seek to Make Whole
Hindenburg Defense Sec
tion Useless.
THE WAR SUMMARY.

General syns has settled down to
steady push against the German lines
west of cambrai. More than 100 guns
were captured by the British during
the recent offensive, including numer-
Gus heavy pieces.
The British pressure is mainly di-
rected northward on the east and west
line running between Fontaine and
Queant.
The apparent object is not only to
carry the encirclng movement about
Cambrai further to the north and
east, but to drive in behind both the
former Hindenburg line as it bears
off to the northwest and the Queant-
Drocourt switch. thus rendering the
latter useless as the secondary line of
defense against an attack from the
west.
