French Makjnu Assault


 With the lessening of the tension on the St. Mihiel front, interest is cen tered at present in the French assault on the Ailette- -Ai;5ne front, General Pe- tdins troops here are gaining ground everywhere. The advance will not have to be pressed much further before a German retreat on a wide front in this sector will be compelled.
 By driving in sharply in his present move, Marshal Foch probably intends to make untenable even the Chemin des Danes, the former German holding ground north of the Aisne. He has made marked progress already in this by taking Mont Des Singes, south of the Ailette. It is but short distance thence to the Anizy- Pinon line, the cap ture of which by Petain last fall con- pelled the German crown prince to fall back from the Chemin des Danes to the Ailette line to the north.
 f Push on For Laon Citadel
 The French progress here likewise represents renewal Of the drive at the St. Gobain nlassif, and therefore at the citadel of Iaon, which that bas- tion defends. Moving directly into the massif further north, above the Aiette, the French are reported to be progress ing satisfactorily. Along the Aisne the advance has taken the French some distance further towards the east. and they were early reported to have reach ed Nailly. on the north bank of the Aisne. pushing the Germans back from the river as they advanced.
 British Front Holds
 | The British front has held intact against series of German assaults in what appears to be a fiji of desperation over the inroads made in the defenses of | Cambrai by Field Marshal Haig's forces in their recent progress. The British successfully beat off several such attacks at Havrincourt and Gauze- aucourt, holding their valuable posi- tions on the high ground in this sector
