Along Canal Parallel to

With the American Army on the
Aisne Front, Sept. Additional
forces and supplies were brought UP
by both the Americans and French
during last night and early to-day the
Franco American line was again adj
vanced. The allied artillery of both
heavy and small calibers is being
used to tear holes in the enemy lines.
Cross Road Under Fire
The new forces were brought up
along the Aisne to the west of
Ffsmes where the Germans are en-
trenched along the canal parallel to
the river. The big guns behind the
Franco Am merican line were set in
play upon formations far to the rear,
while every cross road was subjected
to a Furnishing fire.
The Franco American line continu-
ed to close slowly but with unerrinS
certainty about the German left flank
that had clung to the sector to the
west of Rheims. Particularly de-
termined resistance was displayed by
the enemy remaining at the point
in the angle made by the line swing
ing upward towards the Aisne. The
Germans used their artillery late on
Friday with all possible vigor. and
their machine gun crews defended
the retreating army point by point
Nevertheless the lines of both the
French and the Americans were ad-
vanced early to-day.
Hun Divisions Bound For Aisne
Early reports brought into head
quarters indicate that the German
divisions in this sector are as GER
tainly bound for the Aisne as those
already across that river further to
the west, but that they are determin-
ed to exact as big a price as possible
before yielding the territory which
has already cost them so much to
hold.
The German artillery was active
along the river front, throwing an
enormous volume of high explosive,
shrapnel and gas shells into the

At no point along the front where
the present battle is raging are the
Allies more than twelve miles fIom
the Hindenburg line, while upon the
upper part this line has been pierced
by the British troops.
The committee was told that there
