GERMAN ARMIES
 MEETING DISASTER
AT EVERY SECTOR WHERE BRIT lSH AND FRENCH ATTACKED
 GERMANS ARE WORSTED.

With the French and British Armies in Franee.-Over the o0- mile battle front from the re. zion of Arras to the north of Soissons the German armies are meeting with defeats which apparent ly spell disaster. At every sector where the British and French forces have continued the attack the enemy has been worsted. And the end of his trial is not yet in sight.
 To the British over the 30 miles os fighting zone from the Cojeul river southeast of Arras, to Lihons, south of the Somme, many towns have iatl- en and enemy territory has been pen etrated to a depth of several miles. Where the French are fighting be- tween the Matz river and the terri tory north of Soissons, additional gains have been made in the enyelop- ment of Noyon and the maneuver which seeks to crush or drive out the Germans from the salient between the Somme and the Ailette and put into jeopardy the entire German line running to Rheims
 Although the Germans brought up large numbers of fresh reinforce armies, their efforts were without avail Where they were able momen- tarily to hold back their foes, the Germans finally were forced to cede the ground. And they paid a terrible price in men killed, wounded or made prisoner
 The entire Arras-Albert road has been crossed by the British. The strongly held positions where the Germans saw disaster facing them if they fell. were stormed and captured and the British passed them, going eastward.
 Notably among these places were Achiet-leG Grand, where bitter fighting has been in progress for several days; Boyelles and Gomiecourt, northeast of Albert The taking of Achiet, and farther east of til town of Bihucourt, gives Haig a dominating position over Bapaume from which the rail way and highway runs eastward to Cambrai Farther south the old fort ress of Thiepval is surrounded on three sides and it's equalization must follow.
 Midway of the battle line south of the Somme, around Rove, there has been little fighting, the allied con'- mander evidently reasoning that with both wings of his offensive-near Ar ras and Soissons-working smoothly in the movement which is likely to compel the Germans to seek refuge behind the old Hindenburg line, ground soon will have to be given here automatically in order to say c large numbers of men, guns and sup plies from capture.
