War Review
Friday, August 30

Germany's hard pressed armies
still waver before the attacks of the
allies. In central Picardy from the
Somme north to Bapaume the enemy
is retiring eastward toward St. Quen-
tin. Large numbers of prisoners,
many guns and much material are
falling into the hands of the British.
Since the beginning of the offensive
in Picardy, French troops have made
the greatest advance. From Gastel,
on. the Avre, to Bethencourt, on the
Somme, the French have moved for
ward almost 25 miles, The Hinden-
burg line is at St. Quentin, Is miles
due east. St. Quentin is 470 miles
from Berlin and 1872 miles west Of
Coblenz on the Rhine. American
troops east of Luneville are nearest
of the allied forces to Berlin, which
is 400 miles northeast, as the crow
flies. In southern Alsace the Amer
leans are 18 miles from the Rhine.
