ing on q seventy-dve mile front
from the river Scheldt to the river
Aisne. In the face Of the German
retreat the situation changes so rap
idly hour by hour that it is impossible
70 give definite idea Of the Allied
ad ;ance.
Roughly, the Allies have crossed
the Franco Belgian frontier between
Valenciennes and Bavay which is
eight miles west OF the fortress Of
Maubege. The Allies are within
two miles Of Bavay. They have
captured the whole Of Normal forest
except the eastern edge. Then the
line runs from Maroilles to the west
ern edge of Nouvron forest, two
miles east Of Guise, two miles south
of Marie and along the Soire river to
Clermont River and then in straight
line to Chateau Porcien. Owing to
the bad weather Allied pursuit has
lost touch with the enemy main line.
French troops have crossed the Ar
dennes Canal on both sides Of lie
Chesne and have advanced for a
distance of about mile. The Amer
leans have forced the Bridgeheads of
DUN on the river Meuse, but have not
yet occupied Dun.
