HARRASSING ENEMY

PARASITIC French cavalry are
seriously harrassing the retreating
Germans in the Chaulnes region and
are hampering the withdrawal OF
their forces. The Germans, fighting
a rearguard action to cover the re-
treat of the main forces, are find
ing the French cavalry more than
a match for them and although they
are bringing up strong reinforce
ments to strengthen their rear guard,
have failed to make any impression
on the cavalrymen, who are exact
ing a terrible toll of the Hun. In
some places the French cavalry have
overcame the resistance of the rear
guard and penetrating beyond, are
menacing the main body of the re-
treating Germans, compelling them
to accelerate their movements and
leave much booty behind.
