The enemy also reached the Ar

The German losses in the advance
are declared To have been terrific.
The battlefield Is strewn with bodies.
French Push Foe Back.
The French attacked and drove
the enemy back to the line passing
through Belloy, south OF 81 Maur,
south OF Marqueglise and Vandeli-
court. The village of Mzry, west OF
Belloy. was retaken by the French
Monday night.
This part of the battle front. how
ever. apparently is not the most
menacing to the French. II is fur
Their east that the Germans seem TO
be making their most telling gains.
Here along the right bank OF the
Disc, they have reached Antoval, a
village which lies on the crest Of the
hills above the important town OF
Ribecourt lying on low ilat lands
west of the Disc.
The French admit that their line of
resistance to the west and south OF
Rihecourt has been withdrawn in

The battle in the new era may not
be considered as having definitely
entered its critical stages, as In the
Somme, Flanders and Aisne combats
the third and fourth days of the Of
fensive were most menacing to the
allies.
1t now seems certain that the pres.
ent German operation constitutes a
very serious blow at the allied lines
from the Disc to the Marine, as well
as threatening the level country be-
mind the present battle line Before
this can be reached, however, the
Germans may encounter even greater
resistance than they have overcome
