GERMANS MEETING
HEAVY REvERSES
OVER FIFTY MILES FRONT THE
ENEMY IS MEETING WITH
DISASTROUS DEFEATS.
FRENCH ALSO MAKE GAINS
American Troops Are Not Ment;oned
IN Battle; Probably Reserved for
Later and Heavier Blow.

Over the 50-mile front from the re-
gion Of Arras to the north of Soissona
the German armies are meeting with
defeats which apparently spell dis.
aster. Everywhere the British and.
French forces have continued on the
attack. the enemy has been sanguinar-
lily worsted. And the end of his trials
Is not yet in sight.
TO the British over the 80 miles or
the fighting zone from the Cojeul river
southeast OF Arras to Lihons, south Of
the Somme, numerous towns have fall
en-, and the enemy territory has been
penetrated to depth of several miles.
Where the French are fighting be-
tween the Matz river and the territory
north OF SOissonS additional goodly
gains have been made in the enyelop-
ing Of Noyon and the general maneu-
yer which seeks to crush or drive out
the Germans from the salient be-.
tween the Somme and the Ailette. and
to put into jeopardy the entire Ger
man line running to Rheims.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Germans brought up large numbers OF
fresh reinforcements in an endeayor
to stay the progress Of Haig's armies
their efforts were without avail.
Where they were able momentarily to-
hold back their oncoming foes. the
Germans finally were forced to cede
he ground demanded And they paid
terrible price in men killed, wound
ID or made prisoners.
The entire Arras-Albert road has been
.rossed by the British The strong
~ held positions where the Germans
saw disaster facing them If they fell
we're stormed and captured, and the
British pushed them going eastward.
Although the Americans at the
commencement Of the Sommo often
sive were brigaded with the British
along the northern bank of the Somme
no mention Of their having taken part
IN the fight is made. 1t is probable that
they have been moved to some other
portion of the battlefront from which
Marshal Foch. contemplates another
smash at the enemy.
