Through Hindenburg Line.
HAIG CONTINUES HIS DRIVE

With the American Army on the
Aisne Front, Sept. 6.-With the excep-
ction of a few machine gun detach-
.ments left to sacrifice themselves in
an effort to cover the retreat, the Ger
mans are on the north side of the
Aisne.
The American and French troops,
who have followed closely on the heels
of the enemy since the evacuation Of
the Vesle line began, were still in
contact, harassing the rearguard and
Fastening the movement of the whole
force.
Laon IS Miles Away.
All the Americans had worked their
way down into the low lands towards
the Aisne off the plateau from which
they had been able to look over the
next valley at the cathedral towers in
Laon, not Is miles away.
That point is the heart Of the pres.
ent German operations. Laon is a
great communication center and must
naturally be defended with the utmost
determination If the Allied forces are
to be prevented from driving back to
it the German lines from west and
south.
The retirement of the Germans to
positions north of the Aisne is re-
garded as only preliminary to their
reoccupation of their old lines of de-
tense along the Chemin-des-Dames.
With their recrossing Of the Aisne the
second phase of the retreat from the
Marne is s-ended.
London, Sept. 6.-The British, after
their victorious drive through the Hin,
,denburg defenses, are knocking at the
gates at Cambrai. but apparently are
momentarily pausing before attempt.
Ing to force an entrance. Prisoners to
the number of more than $4,000 and
guns exceeding 100 in number have
been taken by them in this advance.
Meanwhile the center of greatest
activity has shifted to the Franco.
American front where the Germans are
in full retreat on a wide front north
of the Vesle, with the French and
Americans in pursuit and reported as
having reached the Aisne in their
chase.
French Advance Seven Miles.
Between these two sectors another
notable German retrograde movement
is in progress. The French pressure
In the region north and east Of Noyon
has forced a German retirement on q
wide front in this sector and advances
of five to seven miles have been scored
by the French forces within 48 hours.
The town of Guiscard has been cap
tured and the French have pressed be-
yond until they are now but little
more than two miles from the impor-
tant road center of Ham. They are ap-
preaching Ham on both sides of the
Bomme. The Germans here are appar-
emily heading back for the St. Quentin;
