the Germans on the entire Noyon to

apparently abandoned serious at
tempts to advance elsewhere. Fur
ther Hun progress Is not likely, unless
they use their last reserves.
The present week will undoubted-

BATTLE HAS FIVE SECTORS
The new Marne battle is divided in
10 five sectors. one on the German

consist OF high denuded plateaus be-
tween Carlepont and the Aisne, with
ravInes running down the plateaus'
southern slopes. The Germans are
checked at the summit OF these pla-
teaus. Three comprise the Soissons
region including the Aisne valley.
Four consists OF high plateaus in the
Ourcd region. Five is the Chateau
Thierry region including high pla-
teaus above the Marne valley. Ger
man inslaughts in these five sectors
where allied resistance is now the
strongest have great objectives. They
seek to attain the valley OF ooise with
Compiegne as an immediate objective.
In sectors four and five they hope to
advance towards Paris along the
Marne and Ourcq valleys.
Right now the German center Is
the most important because both
wings have advanced faster than the
center.
