12O-MILE FRONT

From LaBasse canal on the north
to the sectors east of Laon, enemy
artillery forces are bombarding at
places with drumfre intensity. The
length of this front is approximately
one hundred and twenty miles. AT
points the Germans have gained but
these gains have resulted III the
forming of sharp salients which were
swept by allied guns whenever the
enemy troops were seen forming for
attack.

is very bad. However, if motorists
will put on their chains, go into this
on low and stick to the detour laid out
by the road engineer, going straight
through the water holes, one of which
is solid and smooth and the other
rough, they will be able to make this
detour alright. A number of cars
have been stuck, but generally because
of the fact that they have gotten of
the detour in trying to find better
way. There is no better way than the
detour as laid out. Motorists should
not attempt this stretch at night, un.
der any circumstances. Those going

this country may be preserved in its
