WAR SUMMARY
(By the Associated Press)

L
Counter attacks by the Germans
have failed to hold back the British
and French armies who are hard aft
er them on a twenty five mile battle
front from the north Of Arras to the
region Of scissors.
All along the front the German
line has given way before the pres
sure OF the British and French troops
mat points where the falling back OF
the enemy of the capture OF towns
and roads running eastward adds
greatly to his already serious predic-
ament from the standpoint of sta
tlgy.
Numerous towns and villages and
amletS have fallen into the hands
Of the British and French in the con :

more than delay the Allies when they

line.

Allied advance slowed down as far as
possible while the main German bod

treat toward new positions. In the
region around Arras the British now
are we'll astride the roads leading to
Douai and Cambria and farther
south along the Somme they have
pressed forward until they are al
most at the gates of Peronne.
Between the Somme and the Disc
the French have broken the back

T:oye, capturing this pivotal point to
an invasion eastward Of the plains OF
Picardy and advancing their lines
north and south Of the town over a
flont Of about II IL miles to a
depth Of more than 2 Il miles at
certain points.
North of scissors the French. al
though the Germans are fighting them
, bitterly. again have advanced slightly
their line in the outfanking movement
both against the Chemfn Des Danes
region and the Noyon sector.
Everywhere the Germans have lost
heavily in men killed or made prisoner
