Summary
(By the Associated Presa.)

All approaches to the German
strongholds at La Fere and st. Quen-
tin are held by the French and Brit
tsh forces and the encircling move
men that now menaces the enemy
position at Laon is progressing favor
ably: The French r advancing on
La l Fere from two sides, the move
town, carrying them around, the
northern edge of the famous st. Go
balm. massif where the Germans are
so favorably ~entrenched that a frontal
attack by the French is hardly to be
expected. In their advance on st.
Quentin, the French have taken Hina-
court and are nearing Essigny-le-
Grand. On>the French left the British
have reached, Fresnoy-le-Petit, about
three miles northwest of St, Quentin.
Under moro favorable weather condi-
tons the British and French armies
might % said to be within striking
distance Of the old Hindenburg line
but an attack in force over this front
Is not to be expected at this time. In
this section, as in the st. Gobain for
est and the Chemin des Danes posi-
tlons, the Germans are now taking
advantage Of the intricate system Of
defense in front of tho old Hinden-
burg line which enable them to re-
sist the Allied advance with greater
power and man force.
In the Lys sector Armentieres is al
most within the grasp Of the British
who are advancing upon the town
from both the north and west. Ar
mentieres is used by tho Germans as
a securities center and next to Douai
to the south it is the most important
point in the enemy's northern system
Of military roads of communication.
The British are slowly driving a
wedge in the direction Of Douai,
which Is reported to be burning.
In the Aisne-Vesle sector where the
are cooperating with the
French, the artillerw fighting continues
active. The French have advanced
slightly at Glennes and north Of Laf-
faux, and generally improved their
positions.

ONE THE HUN CENSOR MISSED

Wall Street Journal: So-called
German efficiency finds more than its
equal in American ingenuity. When
American prisoners, who are placed
in the various forts throughout Ger
many, seek to write relatives or
friends in their native country, their
messages must undergo the rigid in
spection Of the efficient German
censor, who often believes that he is
permitting only good news to pass
through. Real descriptions Of the
situation are effaced. .
A son Of q wealthy philadelphia.
who has been captured. recently sent
word home that conditions on the
whole were very satisfactory and
American prisoners were being treat
ed Well-but that he would much
rather be back In Laurel Hill.

to understand his meaning, as Laurel
Hall is a cemetery not far from home.
