French are pressing up the valley
of the Aisne toward Challerange
and Vouziers. Since September
26 the French have captured
more than $4,000 prisoners and
in excess Of 300 guns on this
front. East of the Argonne the
Americans continue to maintain
and improve their positions in the
face of strong German resistance
In the last ten days the western
battle front has seen great chang
es as the Allies have forced thei,
way through the : Hindenburs
line. From Nieuport the Allied
line today ran south to Dixmude
southeast to Roulers, south and
west to near Armentieres, which
is virtually surrounded and
thence on an arc to near La Bas-
see. Thence it runs south through
the western outskirts of Lens to
Gavrelle, where it swings south
east to Blecourt, three miles
north of Cambria.
Around Cambria the British
line is less than mile from the
center of the city. South Of Cam
brat the St. Quentin canal forms
fhe line until the region SOUTH
west &c LeCatelet is reached. Be
