Closing in on Front.


With the French Armies in the
Field. Monday, Sept. l6.-Every hun
dred yards Of an advance weakens a
pillar in the German resistance in st.
Gobain forest.
An order signed by the general COM
handing a German division found on
a prisoner, pointed out how vital it
was to hold the lines there. "If the
height to the east of Laffaux remains
in u hands, says the order, sit pre-
vents the enemy from obtaining a
the Disc to the Aisne. If it falls into
the enemy's hands it gives him a most
favorable point for future attacks.
Il expect" concludes the, order,
that the division will be able here to
maintain its previous, reputation and
Will hold the position against all at
tacks,"
Advancing from shell hole to shell
hole over ground that appeared from
a distance to be a giant face ravaged
by. smallpox, General Mangin's men
defeated this crack division and five
others that were put into a line over
a front of 5 1-2 miles between Allie
mant and Vailly. In doing so they
conquered four caves at the summit
of the height from which the stone
was quarried to build the city Of Sois-
SONS. one OF the caves measured 400
by 300 yards and has a dozen galleries
through which an automobile can
pass.
An entire German battalion was
made prisoner IN one Of the caves,
while in another a colonel with his
entire staff was taken. All the caves
were defended by machine guns that
were raised to the mouth Of the cave
to be, fred when a halt in the bonn
bardnhent announced the approach Of
infantry. This sort of resistance was
particularly stubborn at the top of
Mont des Singes, where the French
troops disseminated the garrison
which belonged to the Fifth Prussian
guard division. They also occupied
the chateau northeast OF, Vauxaillon
definitely after it had been taken and
retaken several times.
All the stone Quarrtes and caves
that were not defended to the last by
the enemy were mined before they
were abandoned. Ten such mines were
discovered in time and rendered harm
less. Wherever the caves were free
of minis, conclusive, evidence, was dis
covered that the Germans expected to
hold them.
