ON BATTLE FRONTS
The Situation as 1t Looks Today
in the West.

Flanders Front-The fighting front
in Flanders now has spread from
Dixmude southwark, in a wide semi
circle, to Lens, a distance of about
sixty miles. The Germans yesterday
began a new retirement on the lower
third of this front, between Lens and
Armentieres. Already they have re-
treated two miles and are still falling
back. This apparently is the first step
in the evacuation of Belgian territory
reported to have been definitely de-
cided upon by the German staff some
time ago.
Picardy Front.-The British re-
sumed their attack north of ST. Quen-
tin this morning, evidently in an at
tempt to effect another breach in the
Beaurevoir- -Fonsomme subsidiary line,
behind the Hindenburg defenses, where
a break thru was nearly accomplished
yesterday. The Germans restored the
situation there by a desperate counter
attack which closed up the gap and
pushed the British back slightly.
The French, attacking south of ST.
Quentin, are nearing the Disc river at
Berthenicourt, thus extending the
northern encircling movement which
is de- tined to pinch off the st. Gobain
mass and Laon in conjuntion with
the s-4rust northward, west of Rheims.
La Fere-Rheims Front.-General
Berthelot, attacking northwest of
Rheims, has carried his line forward
to within less than three miles of
Berry-Au-B -Bac and less than five miles
of Craonne. This is the companion
movement to that south of St. Quentin.
ims-Ferdun Front,-The French
drive in the Champagne region was
resumed at dawn today. Wednesday S
attacks resulted in the capture OF
Challerange, on the western fringe of
the Argonne forest. In the Argonne
region the Germans are reported to be
falling back before the Americans be-
, tween the Meuse and the Argonne
: forest.

More than 1000 Germans have been
taken prisoner today by the British.
On a front of twenty miles between
Armentieres and Lens. the Germans
continue to retire from the salient
west of the fortress of Lille. North of
st. Quentin the British again are
storming the German defense lines
while in Champagne the French are
pressing northward, threatening the
German communications.
Evacuate Lille Salient.
Evacuation of the Lille salient is
the direct result of the allied advances
in Flanders and around Cambria. The
British are keeping close at the heet"
of the Germans, who already have re-
tired an average of two miles. but
there is no indication of where the
enemy will stop or whether he will
extend his withdrawal movement to
include the region of Douai and at

With Lens in the hands of the Brit
ish and the German line moved back

fields in this district which the Ger
mans have defended tenaciously for
four years will no longer be of use
to them.
Pressure in Flanders.
: In. Flanders the Belgians, British
and French continue their pressure
against the stiffened resistance of the
enemy. The salient driven in by the
allies threatens the German hold on
Belgium and an advance Of perhaps
ten miles toward Ghent probably
would compel the enemy to retire to
the northern Meuse line.
On the Cambrai-St. Quentin line the
British have maintained the gains,
