FRANCO AMERICANS
CONTINUE ADVANCE
SHAKE PIVOT ON WHICH THE
ENTIRE GERMAN RETREAT
TURNS.

With the French Arm yin France
The Franco-American operations west
OF the Meuse since November 1 have
shaken the pivot upon which the en-
tire German retreat turns, The Ger
mans are still making a stout resist
ance, without modifying the salient
feature Of the situation, which Is that
their armies west Of the Meuse are
practically cut off from direct COM
munication with Metz.
The main reliance Of the Germans
now Is on the line Of the Meuse,
which they appear determined to de-
fend, while west Of the river their
principal resistance Is along the Ar
dennes Canal. French troops have
reached this obstacle from Rilly-aux-
Oiss, at the bend Of the Aisne, to the
River Bar. Here they encountered
sustained artillery, machine gun and
musketry fire.
The Germans are still holding along
the Aisne between Rethel and Cha
teau Porcien, while further west In
dications OF a retreat were noticed.
The French pursuit maintained con-
tact with the onemy's rear guards
and reached Herpy and the region
east Of Reeouvrance and Bannegne,
as well an height 9S, southeast of Mon
