the third drive a distance OF thirty
eight miles farther along the Marne.
Under the present drive the line has
been penetrated an average distance
Of from i've and half to six miles.
One very striking feature in connec-
ton with this whole advance is the
extent Of front which the allies have
had to cover as result of the German
advance. The total stretching of the
line from Rheims>to the sea Is sixty

troops than they had at the start.
