One enemy force passed beyond the

surely the plunge of the German

While the momentum OF the German
masses has not as yet spent itself,
there has been notable slackenine
in Its advance during the past day.
Chief efforts of the Germans now
seem to be devoted to the widening
of the gap they have torn in the po-
sitions of the allies between Pinon
and Brimont This work seems to-
be progressing slowly against tho
desperate resistance OF the allied
forces.
The French having fallen back
from the limits of the city of sois-

the attacks of the enemy and the
German official statement fails to
show material advances there dur
