Along the battle line in France the
British are still hammering away
at the Hindenburg line north of st.
Quentin and have made gains of
consdera BILE importance. This -
gion is one great fortress and prog
ress must of necessity be slow. The
success of the British, especially that
of the Australian units. gives reason
for the belief expressed in dispatches
that the German lines north of st.
Quentin may be broken by the
Allied onslaught. South of st. Quen-
tin, the French are fighting relent-
lessly and are making progress in
the region of Essigny-le-Grand.
Fighting along the American front
in Lorraine has been of minor ma
ture since the Germans were forced

front. Petrograd dispatches state
that the Bolshevik retreat was
caused by the treachery of Lettish
regiments, which refused to fight
against the British. The Let's have
heretofore been the staunchest sup
porters of the Bolshevik regime.
New Blow Expected
There is a belief in official circles
in Washington that a new Allied
stroke may be launched soon some
where along the front in France. The
plans of Marshal Foch are not
known, but it is intimated in dis
patches from the capital that an at
tack from Rheims to Verdun would
cause little surprise. Such a move
would probably be the first step in
the operation of forcing the Ger
mans to loosen their grip north of
the Aisne and also weaken their
hold on the region west and north
west of Metz.
