 The Germans have markedly stiff fcncd their resistance against the al lied armies from the region Of Arras to Rheims, but their efforts to ward off further encroachments into the territory they are holding have failed
 Ail along the front the German biz guns are violently in action, while machine guns in vast numbers are being used in front of strategic points which the allies are endeavOring 70 gain. Nevertheless, the British have dug more deeply into the sector northwest of Cambrai, capturing im- portant positions on the four mile front between tie Havrincourt wood and Piezieres regaining their old trench positions dominating Gouzeau- court and capturing Gouzeaucohrt wood
 To the south the French are only a short distance west of St. Quentin and are at the gates of T.aFere. On this last named sector the French daily are enlarging their turning movement against the St Gobain forest, the con . quest of which would remove the great barrier to an allied advance in force eastward toward Laon in an out flanking movement against both the Aisne and Cnemin-des-Dame posi- tions of the enemy.
 The Germans here and northeast or Soissons are offering most determined resistance against the French, realiz- ing that should Gen. Mangn's strat P egy prove successful the entire Ger man line eastward to Rheims neces- sarily would he compelled to undergo marked adjustment, Thousands of machine guns and guns of large cal fore are roaring away against tue French both from the St. Gobain for est and the plateau above the Aillettc river northeast of Soissons.
 Along the Aisne the Germans are still endeavoring to retard the ad- vance of the French in the further crossings of the stream, probably in order to give their main army a chence to make it's way eastward in case oi a rush by the French toward Laon, a maneuver which seems in the making by Marshal Fachs forces.
 Large numbers of endorsements have been rushed up by the Germans here and also along the Aisne front where the Americans are fighting alongside the French
 Particular attention is being giyei by the Germans to the three hinges of their line in Flanders, northeast o Soissons, and around Rheims A breal through at either point by tho allies would spell disaster to the enemy Therefore the German high command is buttressing them for eyentualitlcs ln Flanders the German stratesy seems to be the obliteration of points vulnerable to sharp assaults Particu- larly is this noticeable along the Ly' river south Of Ypres, wheer the Ger mang are reported to have removed al their artillery to the east side of tn, river and a little to the north arount Wytchaerte, where the British have advanced their line nearly mile an, apparently with slight opposition. The concentration of artillery of al calibres, including machine guns, am large bodies of men in the region 0 Soissons, wheer the rolling countr! contains hordes of defenders, prove | the importance the enemy places il , holding this territory while nothin: | is being left undone in the regiol around Rheims to strengthen in gun and man power the German lint against the assaults the Germans ap parently realize soon are to como.
