| France to the press representatives, the
chief of staff drew attention TO the 1act
that the Germans have now voluntarily
surrendered portions OF their lines AT
four different places. He placed no
construction of his own on this, but 1t
was taken as an indication of an ex-
pcctcd further withdrawal of the enemy
In a general way the lines generally are
stabilized on a front closely following
the 1916-1917 positions in Picardy and
along the Asne-Vesle line to the south
On the Vesle front, where the Amer
| lean troops are in line, only artillery
fire and raids have been reported. Cen
