retreat from the VesIe river between
Soissous and Rheims. General Man
gin has advanced. his lines to the
edge of the plateau from Vauxeers to

dominating the Aisne and the chemin

firm reports that tho enemy has re-
moved his stores and supplies and
additional territory in s1is sector is
expected to be taken with little mora
than rear guard opposition.
Elsewhere along the battle front
from Rheims to Ypres, the German

advancing in the direction OF Ham,
after taking Guiscard. Overcoming
strong resistance, General Hunbert'a
army broke the line and advanced in
this section from four to seven miles
on line from Mont st. Simeon TO the
Canal Du Nord.
The concentration of German troops
in the wide front before Cambrai has
served TO slow down the British ad :
vance in this section appreciabiy al
though some progress 10 being made.
Increased German artillery fire is re-
ported all along the British lines.
Here the Germans had the advantage
of the defenses formed by the Canal
Du Nord and the Won Hindenburs
line, both of which ethe British have
entered at various points. Also the
strain of the long offenaive has
caused the British 70 halt temporarily
