HEAVIEST FIGHTING
[continued From Page one.]

ting deep into the positions the enemy
has held since 1914, and with the Am
orleans, British and French smashing
the Hindenburg line between Cam
brai and st. Quentin.
Northeast of scissors, north Of the
Aisne, the French have gained the
crest Of the ridge along which runs
the famous Chemin des Danes, from
which the Germans apparently are has
tily retreating.
In the Champagne sector, General
Gouraud's French army has smashed
its way ahead toward the vital Ger
man positions west of the Argonne
forest
Americans Crash Forward.
East of that forest and west of the
Mouse, General Ligget's American
army appears to be crushing the en-
emy's resistance as it irresistibly rolls
northWard.
Everywhere the Germans are fight
ing with desperate valor. There is
little indication that the morale of the
enemy has been broken down under
the sledgehammer blows of the allies.
1t is only by fighting of the bitterest
the past days have been possible.
Realizing that he stands with his back
to the wall, and in danger Of disas-
ter, the enemy is battling with all the
resources at his disposal to check the
allies before his lines are forced to
break and his entire army in France
is forced to retreat toward Germany.
Reports during the past day would
seem to indicate that Marshal Foch's
strategy in the present battle of bat
ties is very similar to that followed
at the Marine, Somme and st. Mihiel
drives. He is attacking the wings of
the German positions and intends by
exerting pressure there, to compel the
center of the enemy line to retire.
Belgians Cut into Line.
Again the offensive tactics of the
allies may be likened to an immense
pincer which is slowly but inexorably,
closing. Far to the north, the Belgi-
ans have cut deep into the German
positions and not only threaten the
enemy submarine bases along the Bel
gian coast, but also place the German
line farther south in extreme peril.
Cambria is now near its fall appar-
emily, and south of that town the allies
are far across the ST. Quentin canal,
which was the key of the whole posi-
ton north of St. Quentin. Farther
south the French seem to have COM
pletely outflanked st. Quentin and cut
off the German strongholds at LaFere
and in the ST. Gobain forest
Successes by the French along the
ridge between the Ailette and Aisne
rivers make it virtually impossible for
the enemy to hold his lines there. Al.
ready a retirement in this sector is
admitted by Berlin. 1t would seem
