tal factor of the whole battle. The
Allied tactics for the moment are
summed up in the phrase, Kill as many
Boches AS possible" so that by forcing
the enemy to use up new divisions to
maintain his progress his reserves for
subsequent operations may be dimin-
iShed.
The latest information indicates that
the Germans are finding Drelncourt
Massive too strong. They have devoted
their whole attention to turning It
from the south. They have succeeded
although the success has been counter
balanced by Allied gains on the left
wing, where a strong attack Of colonial
black troops. supported by tanks, re-
covered the plateau dominating the line
Mery-Belloy- oy-Marqueglise-Va -Vandelincour.
Having thus secured the left flank by
the advance to Ribecourt. the enemy will
probably now direct his attack by a
converging movement along the valleys
of the Disc. Matz and Aronde Thrown
back from the latter stream by the AL
lied gains on the left. he is certain to
return to the charge. In the meantime
the French resistance is as desperate as
ever and stiffened by reserves Every
arm of air and land is employed with
the supreme object Of making the Ger
mans pay for their advance as dearly
as possible.
