i Noyon, the southern anchor
point of the German armies in the
Somme battle field, has been oc-
cupied by the French.
The capture of the city by Cen
Feral Humbert's men had been
expected for several days and its
effect on the great battle of
Picardy, was, therefore, largely
discounted.
With the fall of Roye and

tirement of the German forces

bank of the Disc river, east Of

French, it is announced. This
may mark a crossing of the Oise
