Rawlinson. who was the British rep
resentative on the council. was given
the command of the fifth army,
against which the Germans made their
principal gains recently, in place of
General Cough, who commanded it in
the first days of the battle. No an
nouncement of Rawlinson's successor
has been made. This gives rise to the
belief that General Foch since his ap-
pointment as commander in chief on
the western front has superseded the
Versailles council in having the direc-
ton of military operations.

London, April 9.-Another French
retirement south of the Disc to the
depth of about two miles was reported
in the night statement of the Berlin

The French now hold a line along
the north bank of the Ailette river

neighborhood of the confluence of the
Ailette and Disc, near Manicamp,
about six miles east of Noyon. The
Germans claimed the capture of 1000
prisoners in this region.
In admitting this retirement the
Paris war office declared the enemy,

from this front, only artillery fighting
along the Disc between Noyon and
Mont Didier, was reported by the
French.
