resistance among these prepared de-
fences, and sharp fighting has taken
place to-day at number of points.
Our advanced troops are pressing

upper stretch, from Lens
down to the neighborhood of Cam
brai, proved only pasteboard de-
fence. The Canadians and British
drove through it with surprising
ease. They also overran the famous
Queant-Drocourt alternative line in
less than a day-winning one Of the
most striking victories Of Foch's
present offensive.
In the north the British didn't
have many miles to go before they
came abreast of and went over the
great German barrier of 1917. Fur
ther south the British Fourth Army
and the French First Army have
had to cover thirty-five miles in or
der to reach the sectors of the Hin
denburg zone to the west Of St.
Quentin. They have broken three
separate German defence lines on
their way east from Montdidier.
Now they, too, are practically up to
the old Hindenburg positions, while
Humbert's and Mangin's armies,
operating from the south and south
west, have also reached them in the
sectors between st. Quentin and La

Laon.
Field Marshal Haig reported last
night that Rawlinson's Fourth
Army had entered the lines before
ST. Quentin in which Coughs Fifth
British Army was overwhelmed by
the German offensive of March 21

passed the positions from which it
broke the Hindenburg line last No

of Cambria. The French Third
Army, under Humbert, has closed in
on La Fere. 1t has crossed the ST.
Quentin Canal, which runs south
west from St. Quentin to st. Simon

gnier and the Disc. At Tergnier

southwest Of La Fere itself. Further

Rain Causes LulI
In Fighting Along
u. s. Aisne Front
(BN The Associated Pressl

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. Sowing to the heavy
rain and poor visibility no ambitious
operation was attempted by either the
Americans or the Germans to-day in
the fighting zone between the Vesle
and Aisne rivers. AS a consequence
the situation there tonight remains
unchanged.
The Americans throughout the day
kept to their positions in the dripping
woods or in eheir water-soaked fox
holes and trenches, while the artillery
of beth sides sent over shells.
The German artillery at intervals
reached towns and crossroads several
miles south of the Vesle, while the
roads about Fismes and Bazoches were
searched by them frequently for trans
port or troops. Similar fire was main
tanned by the French and Americans,
who have registered the positions along
the enemy front and far to the rear
with just as much accuracy as have the
Germans in the territory just evacu-
ated.
The artillery fire has been supple
mented at times with machine gun ac-
tions both along the Aisne Canal and
IN tte region about Revillon and
Glennes. where the Germans held the
line with so much determination. In
one of these engagements. where the
positions shifted slightly, the Ameri-
cans took five prisoners, one of whom
had with him his message dog and
who, yielding to the inquistion of the
intelligence officers, revealed certain
secrets OF German dog training
The prisoners had been in trench
for two days without food, waiting for
an opportunity to surrender. They
might have rejoined their own army

(By The Associated Press

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. s (Eueminq) The de-
structlon of towns and villages within
the zone of the recent operations has
been so complete as to offer little basis
for comparison. South of the Somme
and between the Aisne and the Oise
the work of demolition has been uni
formly thorough Settlements, big and
small, have been reduced to ghostly
ruins. the fragments of walls assuming
most fantastic shapes. The roofs OF
many houses, bereft Of tiles and states,

devastation that is characteristic OF

shows that the Germans made good
their boast that they would destroy the
town in its entirety.
When the French troops first en-
tered the city it was three-fourths in
tact at least. Shelling with gas and
high explosives followed at once. The
shells We're distributed so evenly and
impartially that not quarter was
sighted and not house left un-
touched. What could not be done by
shells in the brief time left to the Ger
man artillery was accomplished by
mines.
In several places the mines not only
blew great gaps in the streets, but
caved in the house fronts on both
sides. At one spot an explosion up

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept (5 %. m. ).-Further
slight advances by the British were
reported in the area in front Of the
Hindenburg line this afternoon, but
elsewhere it seems that the British
again have paused, as is necessary,
when great movements are taking
place.
Havrincourt Wood has been cleared
almost entirely of the enemy rear
guards, who offered strong resistance
with machine guns at several places.
Heavy storms have been sweeping
the entire battle area and have tended

local counter attack in the Nieppc sec
tor caused the British to withdraw
slightly. Aside from considerable ar
tillery action, the front generally was
quieter day than for many weeks.
