the French third army, General Hum
bert, on receiving the correspondents
Compeigne-had been stopped in June,
said:
I'VE hope to do better"
General Humbert talked to the cor
respondents again today after the
capture of Ribescourt. He refrained
from references to his previously ex-
pressed hopes, saying simply that he
had got back on to the Lassigny mas
sif and would stay there until he went
farther on.
The operations of the third army,
which resulted in the wiping put of
the Montdidier salient, was subordi-
nate to the attack of Field Marshal
Haig's forces north and south of the
Somme. 1t was impossible for the
third army to attack until the opera
tons elsewhere had produced results
as there were serious terrain difficult
ties facing it.
AS Dor as the Germans began to
give way before the combined French
and British forces, the third army be-
gan to advance on August 10.
The battle began without artillery
preparation. the French batteries op-
ening fire only when the infantry ad-
vanced to attack. The Germans were
therefore caught by a storm Of rifle
bullets, shells and machine gun fire
from tanks. cuvi1ly, .Ressons-sur-
Matz and Chevincourt. which had
been assigned as the final detectives
of the attack were reached in the first
hour and the drive was continued to-
ward Roye.
At Thiescourt the Gerhaans began
during the night to send material to
the rear for the purpose Of organizing
final resistance further back. General
Humbert reached Boulogne-le-Grasse
Ricquebourg and Helincourt the next
evening. This serious enace to their
rear precipitated the fight Of the Ger
mans from the vicinity of M%ontdidier.
The French advance over difficult
ground paved the way for the second
phase of the battle which was the at
tack eastward in the direction of
Ribecourt and Noyon. German rein
forcements began to arrive, the
ground became more difficult along
the wooded ridges and ravines of
~Thiescourt and progress was slower.
In an advance of three miles how
ever, the French third army reached
the plateau of the st. Claude farm
and pushed further on to the Ecouvil-
ASiA Ao1 III
Encouvillon height overlooks the
valley of the little river Divette. The
French therefore menaced the rear of
the enemy's troops which were still
on the right bank of the Disc. Ribe-
court fell on the morning Of the four
tenth In spite of the arrival of fresh
reinforcements. New divisions were
Identified among these German troops
The conquest of the rest of the
Tniescourt massif will be a more diff
cult- task. The Germans hold strong
positions on the Plemont heights and
on the ridges n both sides Of the
Divette. Supported by their earth
works, they are able to make a very
serious defense to frontal attacks al
though exposed to a turning move
ment to the north of the first French
army along the Lassigny-Roye line.
General Humbert's men are now onlv
a mile and three-quarters south Of
Lassigny.
