Whole Pocket North and East
of Laon CoIlapses.

Paris, Oct. 2S.-By a sudden and
powerful smash, the French army un-
der General Mangin has overnight al
most obliterated the apex of the Ger
man salient between the Disc and
Serre rivers.
The Germans are retreating at top
speed along the 20-mile front from
north of Guise to the Mortiers region.
The French are maintaining intense
pressure against the entire 40-mile
front from the Disc to the Aisne and
the German pocket north and east of
Laon has caved in under this impact.
Press After Main Forces.
The French are pushing hard on the
enemy's heels. The Germans are fight
ing stubborn rearguard actions, but
their main forces are in fully retreat.
In two-days' fighting the French
have taken 2,450 prisoners. Mangin's
troops have crossed the ,Serre east Of
the Assis-sur-Serre (seven and half
miles north of Laon) and have pene-
trated the German trenches.
The French are making a concen-

Laon-Guise railway. In the south the
attackers are only mile from Richie
court.
Guse Being Evacuated.
The general trend of the drive is
northeastward. Its immediate objee-
tives are Guise and Mario, two impor-
tant rail intersections. Guise is be-
ing rapidly encircled. Mario, on the
Fere-Mezieres railway, is threatened
by Mangin's right at Morties, five
miles southeastward.
The strategic object of the drive is
to push the French front up to lev
ell with the front created by the Brit
lsh below Valenciennes. For the first
phase of their retreat the Germans
have an elaborate network of railways
| ut their disposal, but once the Guise-
| NARROW front is reached their ave.

French east of st. Quentin, where they
captured Mont D'Origny (nine miles
