southeast, the Allied armies pushed
east yesterday about five miles
more, reaching Bertry and Busfgny.
bertry is only four miles west
southwest of lie Cateau. Busigny
IS four miles directly south Of Ber-
try and three miles north of Bohain.
The Germans have set fire to Bo-
ham and are still retiring rapidly
on this front. AS Bohain is onlv
eight miles northwest of Guise the
Allies are already on the point of
breaking the line between Guise and
LIE Cateau. When they do this
they will have turned the whole
west side Of the Laon salient.
Ludendorff's chief problem now is
to extricate himself from the Laon
trap. He still has one clear line of
retreat out of it northeast to the
Belgian border. But the German
armies retiring east through LIE
Cateau and Guise are cutting across
that line and congesting the roads
toward Belgium. Gouraud's drive in
Champagne is pressing the German
armies in that region toward the
north and northwest. The German
lines of retreat are thus converging.
congesting the roads in the rear of
the emptying southern salient.
The crisis of the German retreat
will come when the La Fere-Aisne
Valley front gives way and the Ger
man armies become = entangled in
their rush for the new winter line
which Ludendorff probably hopes to
establish from Valenciennes east to
Mezieres and then up the Meuse,
covering the Briey iron district, to
the neighborhood of Metz.
The American army on the
Meuse-Argonne front is doing it's
best to add to the difficulties of the
German grand retreat. 1t has now
pushed up the east side of the
Meuse as we'll as the west side.
aiming at closing the Meuse cross
ings at Dun and Stenay. 1t has
also driven the Germans out of the
Argonne. American troops have
Just made junction at Cornay, on
the Aire River, at the northeastern
tip of the Argonne, with French
column coming cast through the
Grand Pre- gap, north of the Ar
gonne. An American offensive on
large scale east OF the Meuse. di
rected at the development of Metz
from the northwest, is still to be
reckoned with. Ludendorff NAV
succeed in establishing his new line
from Valenciennes to Mezieres and
Sedan. But the continuation of his
connections from Sedan to Metz
may prove heart-breaking prob
lem for him after the real Ameri-
can offensive in the Verdun section
gets going.

A FTER st. Quentin, Cambral
~ The British entered yester-
day the vital German base
en- the Hindenburg front which
Byng came so near capturing in his
brilliant but poorly backed up oper-
alton of last November. Byng was
eleven months ahead of the Foch
schedule. But his drive, in which
the tank first came to the fore as a
revolutioning element in the tao.
tics of offence, cleared the way for
the semi-open warfare of to-day
mode of warfare which is rap
idly grinding the life out of the
German defensive.
Cambrai and ST. Quentin have
gone. The two main anchorages of
the Hindenburg positions in North
trD France have been torn away
The old Hindenburg line between
the Meuse and the North Sea has
been split into two segments. Two
big salients are left, within which
Ludendorff can linger only at his
own great peril.
The loss of Cambria uncovers
Douai. The British are now we'll in
the rear of Douai and can easily en-
velope it from the southeast. When
it falls the whole German line north
through Lille to Courtrai will be
turned. In this region Ludendortf
hasn't very far to go to reach the
line Of the Scheldt River, from Ant
werp west to Ghent and then south
through Tournai to Valenciennes
A German retirement from the
front north from Douai to the coast
cannot very we'll be hindered. Foch
may choose to exert no more press
ure in this region than is necessary
to keep the northern German ar
mics moving
But south of Douai and Cambria
the situation is very different. Here
the deep German salient of which
Laon is the apex is being steadily
narrowed into a sack. If Luden-
dortf had gone back more rapidly
he might have had a chance to hold
a line cutting south from Valen-
ciennes through LIE Cateau to Guise
on the upper Disc, connecting by
way of that river with La Fere and
Laon. 1t would not have been an
ideal defensive front, but if held it
would have saved the St. Gobain
bastion and the formidable positions
about Laon.
Now that line seems out Of the
question. 1t is already threatened by
the rapid advance of the British
Americans and French east of Cam
brai and LIE Catelet. Following ur

Cambria from the enemy by break
