WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN

was delivered agains. the German de-
fences before St. Quentin to-day. Re-
ports received up to 2 o'clock this af-

No marked change in the situation re-

British.
A vigorous local engagement is talk
ing place to-day on the front nearly
west Of st. Quentin. between Holnon

is centring in the Epehy- -Ronssoy sec
tor. where the British since Saturday
have by determined fighting gained
ground which is of the greatest I'M
portance and which captured docu-
ments show to be vital part OF the
uindenburg defences that was to be
held at all costs.
The pressure which the British have
established here is obvious from a
glance at the detailed maps. The great
st. Quentin Canal forms a strong nat
ural defence for the enemy for a great
distance in this section, but just east
Of Ronssoy It runs underground for
abou. three miles. In other words.
there is gap in the waterway defence
here. and il is this which the Germans
have been defending so desperately.
