REGION OF ARRAS
FOE'SWEAKEST SPOT

LONDON, Aug. 31.-The buIIseye Of
the military experts interest today
was in the region of Arras, where the
British have cut the Hindenburg line.
Here the heaviest allied effort is now
registering. Its purpose is to crumple
the Drocourt-Queant switch" and
jeopardize the stability OF the entire
Hindenburg line by exposing its
northern flank.
Unless the Germans possess e new
switch behind QUAINT, continuation of
the allied boring tactics is liable to
compel a much bigger retreat than
last years.
The next strong German stopping
place is probably the line before Lille
and Valenciennes to the Meuse. This
would mean an additional retreat of
three to ten miles
In this connection 1t Is remembered
recent reports from Germany stated
thousands OF prisoners including Bel
gian civilians. were hastily complet-
ing the old Meuse fortifications. The
enemy, realizing the crisis, is showing
steadily increasing resistance in the
switch region.

vigny. Others were massed about
Chavigny. American patrols captured
q number OF the former. after the bit
