The Carlisle independent., 1918-09-19

Having given up all the ground they won in their great spring drive. and finding themselves back on the old Hindenburg line, and in some places well behind it. the Germans decided to stop their retreat for while. Marshal Foch did not fully assent to this deci- sion, but powerful concentrations of Hun artillery and reserves in strong positions, coupled with torrentlal rains throughout Picardy, brought the allied offensive almost to a temporary standstill. Not that the fighting by any means ceased. for the French and British kept pressing forward, though more slowly, and the Germans deliv- cred desperate cOunter-attacks, which in almost every instance resulted only in severe losses for them.
 It is the opinion of expert observers that the halt of the Huns approximate ly on the Hindenburg line will be only temporary. Indeed, it is believed they cannot stay there long if they would. For many weeks they have been hastily building new lines of de fense farther east, and Marcel Hutin in the Echo de Paris says they are now constructing a supreme line from Ant werp to Metz and are putting the Ant werp forts in defensive condition. Their present line depends on Douai, Cambrai. St. Quentin and Laon, and farther to the southeast. on the Chemin des Danes. Douai already was be ing evacuated last week and the air dreme moles east of 1t were being dis mantled. The British, fighting fierce ly and repulslng heavy counter-attacks, were advancing steadily through Hay rincourt, Pezieres and Gouzeaucourt and forced crossing of the Canal du Nord. thus taking the main defense of Cambrai on the southwest.
