FRENCH MAKE STEADY ADVANCE
Continued from Page One.


Ing the salient wedges wrested the
initiative In operations from the Ger
mans, at once obllging them either
to order general retreat to a strong
line such as the Somme or to engage
reserves. The enemy adopted the
second alternative which having fail
ed, makes eventual retirement I'M
mensely more diffi.ult.
The first phase OF the battle of the
Ayre finds the French with a footing
npon Thiescourt plateau, west OF
Noyon which has vital Importance In
future operations. The Germans
must either capture this at high
cost, II they can, or abandon Noyon,
which means the fall of Roye and
Lassigny. which already are under
imminent menace Of capture.
The disaster which menaced Cen
eral Won Hutler's army has been
averted for the moment The few
narrow passages which now are open
for the withdrawal of his stores are
SO harassed by the bombs of aylators
and the fire of heavy artillery that
prompt escape Is impossible, render
ling probable desperate effort by
the Germans to cling to their 1914
lines.

1t is expected that many hunters
will be in the woods on that date.
There has been considerable effort
put forth by timber owners to have
the season closed on account of the
danger OF forest fires, but without
result. On the other hand 1t Il

careful about fires and that closing
