THE KRIEMHILD LINE PREACHED
ALSO.

THE KRIEMHlLD LINE PREACHED
ALSO.
The preaching of the Kriemhild line
follows closely after the complete rupture
of the famous Hindenburg line and payes
the way toward the cutting off of the
Germans who are still remaining in the
salient whose apex is Laon and the St.
Gobain forest. Therefore, the performance
by the Americans and the French is sure
to prove a very strong contributing fac
tor to the final downfall of Germany. It
is probable that the Kriemhild line was
not such an intricate maze Of defenses
as the Hindenburg Notifications lying be-
tween Cambria and St. Quentin, because
the latter has always been the objective
of the allied attack duNng the first four
years of the war and was, in consequence,
made firm, with line after line of de.
lenses and mile upon mile Of barbed wire.
Nevertheless, the Kriemhild Notifications
have been strongly reinforced Of late,
when it became apparent that the Ameri-
can army, or large part Of it, would be
conferred there; and, in addition, large
number of reserve divisions were sent to
that sector to back up the defenses Of
concrete and wire In making breach in
this system of defenses, the Americans,
together with the French, are entitled to
a great deal OF credit. They are now en-
abled to pour through their vast reserves
and engage in that rolling.up process
which menaees the Germans in the back
areas of the western front The lower
jaw of the great trap is likely to close
much faster, now that the Kriemhild de-
lenses are punetured.
