War Review

The Germans in their frantic ef-
fort to take Amiens are pressing in
from the northeast, east and south
east-fonowing three railway lines
converging upon the city. HaiR's
report today Of the fighting in that
region indicates the enemy is con-
centrating IN a frontal attack from
the east and that the enve1op.uz
movement on the two tanks of this
sector is awaiting the outcome.
Hindenburg has met with consId-
cradle more success in this route
and the one to the southeast than in
his attempted advance from the
northeast.
The statement said the British
after beating of several assaults
and inficting heavy losses on the
Germans had been forced to fau
back to positions about eight miles
east OF Amiens and about midway
between the Luce and the Somms.
It marks the closest approach OF
tbs Germans TO their objective. Haig
said the British are holding the
enemy in these new positions. To
the southeast the Germans have
battered away along the route OF
the railway which runs from Mont
didier through Moreuil to AE1ans.
The nearest the enemy has ap-
preached Anliens along this route
is more than ten miles from the
city.
The northeastern route IS along
the railroad which runs from Al
bert to Amiens. The Germans have
been flrmly held in the western out
skirts OF Albert but below this city
the battle line swings to the south
west and runs along the railway.
Activities north OF the Solnme.
Haig reported, are limited TO artil-
1ery fighting with the enemy's par
ticular activity IN the Soarpe valley.
