MAGNITUDE INCREASING

Paris, October n.-(Havas )--The vic tory in the Cambrai region increases daily in magnitude, producing indirect repercussons over the whole front. The wedge driven into the German lines to a depth of 30 kilometres in five days menaces the Douai-Laon massif. The Germans are in general retreat from north of Cambrai to Verdun In conse- quence of the extremely rapid advance of the Franco British troops, who have reached the open ground between the Disc and the Sensee, the situation of the German center becomes extremely critl- cal, the more so because General Gou- raud's continued progress towards the Argonne menaces the enemy's left wing
 The enemy front on the Chemin-Des- Danes and the Aisne, under the assaults of General Mangin's forces and the army operating northwest of Rheims, was shaken despite energetic resistance, the enemy intending at all costs to protect the retreat of his forces delayed on the Aisne. The enemy was obliged to aban- don enormous booty in the Argonne
