To the British over the 20 miles of fighting zone from the Cojeul river southeast of ,Arras to Lihons south ot the Somme numerous towns have fallen and enemy territory has been pene- trated to a depth of several miles. Where the French are fighting between the Matz river and the territory north of Soissons additional goodly gains have been made in the enyelopment of Toyon and the general maneuver which seeks to crush or drive out the Germans from the salient between the Somme and the Ailette and to put into jeopardy the entire German line running to Rheims.
