HINDENBuRG POSITION
IN DANGER NOW

HINDENBuRG POSITION
IN DANGER NOW
Paris, March 26.-The allies continue
TO forge ahead on the center and eX-
IRENE right. and made substantial pro-
press yesterday in the direction of ST.
Quentin and La l'ere, in the teeth of
German determined resistance. Not
w%ithstanding the efforts of the Germans
to destroy the roads as they retired, the
allies have managed to bring up a good
force of all but their heaviest artillery
and the guns are again busy after a
long rest.
The pressure of the French from st.
quentin to the Aisne is so powerful that
1T begins to seem doubtful, in the opin-
ion of the French military critics as to
whether the Germans will he able to
hold on to the So-called Hindenburg
line. n invaders have opened the
sluices at La Fere, apparently feeling
that their chances of holding these
towns are ont good. now that the
French have got a footing on the high
ground in the Jussy region, northeast of
Tergnier. If Genera Nivelle is able to
establish himself in his position, his
guns will La Fere. Further
south the French are making solid
progress against the fiye-mile salient
covering ST. Gobain and formed by tho
lower Coucy forest. The columns here
are working hand in hand with columns
operating northeast of scissors, in the
direction of Laon. The latter made con-
tinuous progress today IL their ad-
vance exposes the left extremity of the
German line at St. Gobain to the risk
of being outflanked and driven back to
Laon.
1t is evident that the German staff is
alive to the growing danger and that
they are making desperate efforts, to
check the French advance.
The JSraprh continued to Tp,Sh for
ward last night in the region south
of St. Quentin, in which heavy fighting
has been in progress for several days.
They reached the west bank of the
Disc, north of LIE I'ere, and gained ad-
ditional ground east of the Aillette
