To- be- the initial stage of the greatest
battle of history has opened before the
gates of la Ferc.
For the first time since the great Ger

lighting has given way to the thunder of
artillery and the crash OF major forces.
The Germans are making stand on a
line running north and south Of La Ferc
from st. Simon TO the forest Of Coucy, a
distance roughly estimated at about 20
miles
The official Berlin reports throw no
light on the situation but it is certain
that few days or even hours must de.
eide the fate Of La Fcrc.
The situation on the British front is
somewhat more obscure owing to the
rather vague character Of the British off
cial reports. The latest reports from
London say that Gen. IIaig has pushed
10 miles east of the Somme at some
points. This would place the British
within four or five miles from the vital
point Of St. Quentin.
