GERMAN ARMY
 FACE-TO-FACE
 WITH DISASTER NOW RETREATING ON FRONT
 OF FIFTY MILES. General Haig's Great Victory of Yes terday When He Broke Through Hindenburg Line Puts Huns
 in Dire Peril.
HUN RETIREMENT IS SPEEDY.
Associated Press Summary.)


 On front of virtually fifty miles from just below Ypres to near Pe- rome the Germans are in retreat, forced by series of unremitting hammer blows inflicted by Comman- der Foch in the past six or seven weeks. This retreat has now been accelerated by the notable victory won by Haig yesterday in breaking through the line defending Douai and Cambrai and threatening to outflank even the main Hindenburg line south of St. Quentin. So proununced and so speedy is the German retirement, it seems as if the enemy, if he has not met with disaster, is perilously on the verge of one.
