WAR SUMMARY

bit of forest land which has afford
ed the Germans good cover in the
fighting east OF the Argonne. Hill
lS2, north OF St, Juvin, is now being
consolidated by the Americans.
French and Italian forces have
forced their way further eastward
near SiSSons, and have moved up
to within a mile OF Rethel, an I'M
portant German supply point on the
Aisnc, farther east. In this sector,
however, the allies are quite near
the lIuuding line OF defense, which
was constructed by the Germans
as a refuge in case the llindenburg
line collapsed. There appears to
be more energetic resistance on the
part of the Germans along this
front, and it is probable that they
intend to make a stand along the
line where they now are.
Italian units in Albania have
made a new advance northeast OF
Durazzo.
In The Holy Land.
In Syria, the army commanded by
General Allenby has moved lar to
the north OF Beirut and patrols are
moving northeast from Damascus.
1t is probable that, with the return
OF cooler weather the British for
ces in Mesopotamia may make a
uev drive To ioIu General Nllcnby

Lille has been captured by the
British. Allied pressure on all sides
Of the salient OF which Lille was
the center compelled the enemy to
give up the city, the largest town
of France captured by the Germans
and for four years an important unit
of the enemy defense system.
The fall OF Lille comes almost
simultaneously with the launching
of an offensive by Field Marshal
IIaig against the new German de
lenses south OF Nalcnciennes. His
troops today are storming forward
south of Le Catcau across the Selle
river where they were halted late
last week
In Flanders, the allies have gained
important new successes while from
the Disc, to the Meusc, the allied
pressure is maintained strongly. In
the angle north OF Laon, the Ger
mans apparently are retiring IRON
between the OiSe and Serrc rivers,
Since the beginning of the week,
there has been little heavy fight
ing in the area southeast OF Cam
hrai, where the British and Ameri-
cans made such rapid strides last
week after the capture OF Cambria
The Germans resisted strongly on
the line Of the Scllc and it i, these
deienscs that the British and prob
ably the Americans under the same
command, are assaultug.
South OF Bohain, the southern
end OF the attacking front, the
French troops are reported in con-
tact with the Germans along the
whole Oise-Scrre front. This un-
doubtedly means the Germans are
retiring from the awkward angle be
tween the two rivers in continue
tion of the withdrawal movement
from the Laon massit.
On front of more than th'rty
miles in Flanders, the Belgians,
French and British continue to
push forward vigorously Coutral
and Thorrout, important railway
functions on the flanks Of the at
lacking front have fallen to the
Belgians and British, while in the
conter the French have taken Lich-
tervelde and Ardoye. Courtrai prob
ably isithe most important OF the
rail centcrs feeding the Lille area.
Thorout is II miles south OF
Brugcs.
On both sides Of the Meuse, the
Americans maintained their pres
sure which resulted Wednesday in
the capture OF important ground
north and northeast Of the Argonne
forest. East of the river the Amer
leans have gained high ground.
