Fast progress has been made by the
french In closing in upon both st.
Quentin and La Fere. important Ger
man strongholds along the southern
section of the Hindcnburg line. They
are within two miles of La Fere and
within three and half miles OF st.
Quentin. In the region of La Fere
the French are pushing toward the
north of the formidable st. Gobain,
hastion, defending Laon. They have
made a considerable impression on
this powerful position by direct
pressure, in the Scrvais sector to the
south of La Fore.
The Servais station was captured
yesterday. BY taking Briquettay,

the French made some further
progress to the north of the town.
The Roadway thus made in encircl-
ing the st. Gobain positions consti-
tuted the most important feature Of
operations because the
objective in this sector is unquestion-
ably the German base at Laon, the
keystone of the whole German defen-
sive system.
A more spectacular advance by the
French armies, however, was effected
further north.
Having forced on Sunday a passage
of the Crozat canal on the line op-
posite the La Fere-St. Quentin
front, the French developed the for
ward push rapidly yesterday. until by
evening advances of well towards Ave
miles beyond the canal had been
scored at some points.
Five towns were taken in this re-
gion, including Easigny- LeGrand, di-
rectly south of st. Quentin and but
three and half miles distant To
the north, beyond the Somme, Etreil-
lers and Roupy were taken, while in
closing in on La Fere the French cap

Another cause for dissension is the
fact that when Bulgaria was awarded
the Dobrudja by the Rumanian peace
treaty dictated BY Germany. Turkey de-
manded the cesson of that portion Of its
northern territory that had previously
been given Bulgaria as reward for en-
tering the war on the side of the Cen
trail Powers.
The recent resignation of Premier
Radoslav of Bulgaria is said to have
been caused by inability to secure more
territory and his unwillingness to be-
tray the Central Powers

here to be a tigurehead who will accept
