line no longer bars the path OF the Al
lies Its definite rupture was achieved
in the first day of the fighting in the new
development Toward the north the battle
is now raging from EScaut to the Meuse,
with the Allies well inside the old linden
burg positions.
The German losses have been enor-
nous, not only in prisoners, but also IN
killed and wounded. In a single section
on the British front two fresh German
divisions which were thrown into the fur
mace of raging fire from British guns
melted away in "A few minutes. Critics
believe that General Ludendorff has de-
layed his retreat SO long that he IS in
danger of leading back only remnants OF
his great army to the famous gacis
which protects Germany.

ness with light weight has been used the
past few days by the German aviators
and have caused considerable losses The
only way OF fighting the fires started by
this form of destructive weapon appears
to be in throwing new form of solution

flames literally adds fuel, this being due
to the chemicals Of which the bombs are
composed. According to reports a single

each. They are the most effective weap-
on of destruction that has yet been used
