GERMAN ARMIES
MEETING DISASTER
AT EVERY SECTOR WHERE BRIT
lSH AND FRENCH ATTACKED
GERMANS ARE WORSTED.

With the French and British
Armies in France.-Over the 80
mile battle front from the re-
gion of Arras to the north OF
scissors the German armies are
meeting with defeats which apparent
ly spell disaster. At every sector
where the British and French forces
have continued the attack the enemy
has been worsted. And the end of his
trial is not yet in sight.
To the British over the 80 miles OF
fighting zone from the Cojeul river
southeast of Arras, to Lhons, south
OF the Somme, many towns have fatl-
en- and enemy territory has been pen
etrated to a depth of several miles.
Where the French are fighting be-
tween the Matt river and the terri
tory north of scissors, additional
gains have been made in the envelop-
ment of Noyon and the maneuyer
which seeks to crush or drive out the
Germans from the salient between
the Somme and the Ailette and put
into jeopardy the entire German line
running to Rheims.
Although the Germans brought up
large numbers of fresh reinforce
ments in an endeavor to stop Haig's
armies, their efforts were without
avail. Where they were able momen-
tarily to hold back their foes, the
Germans finally were forced to cede
the ground. And they paid terrible
price in men killed, wounded or made
prisoner.
The entire Arras-Albert road has
been crossed by the British. The
strongly held positions where the
Germans saw disaster facing them il
they fell, were stormed and captured
and the British passed them, going
eastward.
Notably among these places were
Achiet-le Grand, where bitter fighting
has been in progress for several days;
Boyelles and Gomiecourt, northeast
of Albert. The taking of Achiet, and
farther east of til town of Bihucourt,
gives Haig dominating position
over Bapaume from which the rail-
way and highway runs eastward TO
Cambria. Farther south the old fort
ress of Thiepval is surrounded on
three sides and its capitulation must
follow
Midway of the battle line south of
the Somme, around Roye, there has
been little fighting, the allied conf
mander evidently reasoning that with
both wings of his offensive-near Ar
ras and Soissons-working smoothly
in the movement which is likely to
compel the Germans to seek refuge
behind the old Hindenburg line,
ground soon will have TO be given
here automatically in order to say e
large numbers of men, guns and sup
plies from capture.
