If the British can cross with force

Between the Disc and the Aisne,
the French are making strides to-

south OF Marie. they have captured
the village OF Mortiers and maintain
their pressure elsewhere along the
Serre. Further east big hole has

begun in 1917. Between Banogne and
Herpy. the French have driven for
ward toward Montcornet about two
miles on a front of between four

vance here menaces the German
hold on Rethel. to which the enemy
has clung tenaciously and tends to
outflank the German line eastward
along the Aisne to Nouziers.

ENENYS MOST STRATEGIC
SECTOR MNORTH FRANCE.
BEGINNING TO GIVE WAY.
ARCONNE -MEUSE FRONT DEFENSE.
LINES ARE CRACKING UNDER HEAVY.
BLOWS Of FRANCO-AMER|CAN ARMIES.

Washington, Oct. 26.-The Ger
man defense lines on the most vital
sector in France-the Argonne-
Meuse front-are beginning to crack
under the strain OF steady pressure
by French and American troops. An
early breaking OF the German re-
sistance and the advance OF the
French and American armies on a
wide front toward the great trunk
railway, which is the immediate OBJ
iective OF allied operations, is pre-
dicted by many officers in WASH
ington.
Official statements indicating that
new German divisions are being
poured into this sector clearly show
the anxiety of the German high
command over the situation. Cen
eral March, commenting today on
the military situation. brought out
very clearly the efforts the enemy
is making to meet the American ad-
vance.
Great Railway System Is Prize
'In front our own troops in the
Argonne,' he said, "a very large
mass of German troops has been
concentrated, since it is imperative
for the enemy to protect the rail
road line which runs from Meziercs
to Metz
General March pointed out that
the front field between the Otz and
the Meuse by the allies roughly
parallels this great railway system
thorougout its length and threat
ems it at all points"
From other sources it was learned
today that more than 30 divisions
have been identified in the narrow
sector Immediately northwest OF
Verdun where American and French
forces continue to work their way
slowly forward despite bitter re-
sistance and strongly fortified en-
envy positions.
The French have obtained flank
ing position on the east bank OF the
Aisne river in the western outskirts
of the forest OF Argonne. while to
the east OF the Meuse, the opera
tions Of American troops indicate
that the line is being extended and
Strengthened in preparation for a
wide assault when the enemy de-
fenses have been sufficiently re-
duced There is good reason to be-
lieve that part of the Second Ameri-
can army is holding this eastern eN-
tension Of the Nerdun front.
Many Huns On Meuse.
At no other point on the entire
western front, with the exception
OF the center arch OF the line from
the Serre to the region OF Nalen
ciennes. are the German forces
massed in strength comparable 10
that being employed on the Meuse.
The operations Of the British and
the French to the north, it is point
ed out. bear direct relation to the
situation on the Meuse. since the
enemy canno spare reserves from the
center in the face OF the drive to
hack up his hard pressed left flank.
1t is this. coupled with the improv-
ing tactical situation in the Ar
gonnc that leads observers here to
the beginning at any
time of a new drive on the Meuse
front.
