The wiping out OF the Marine and

allies the use of the Paris-Chalons and
the Paris-Amiens railroads.
These successes render almost i'm

between the French and British.
Marshal Foch's strategy in reduc

initiative in operations from the Ger
mans, at once obiging them either
to order general retreat to strong
line such as the Somme or to engage
reserves. The enemy adopted the
second alternative, which, having fail

menseiy more difficult.
The first phase of the battle of the
Avre finds the French with footing
