Of present allied boring tactics may
compel a much bigger retreat than
was last years.
The next German stopping place is
probably the line before Lille and Va
Ienciennes TO the Meuse river. This
would mean an additional retreat Of
from 10 to 80 miles.
In. this connection it is remembered
that recent reports from Germany
stated thousands of prisoners includ-
ing Belgian civilians were hastily
completing the old Meuse fortifiea-
tions.
The enemy realizing the crisis, is
showing steadily increased resistance
in the switch region. Bullecourt, re-
by Germans and Riencourt,
which is ours, are bastions of the
switch line.
