Menin, a junction point on the same
railroad and along the Lys river west
Of Menin for a distance Of Ave miles.
The forces under King Albert Of Bel
giurn are on open ground and are
overcoming heavy counter attacks
by the enemy. It would seem that
the railroads forming and within the
triangle of Lille, Client and Bruges
would soon be lost to the Germans,
bringing about the evacuation of Os-
tend and Zebrugge
From the Suippe to the Mouse the
French and Americans maintain their
strong, steady pressure against the
German forces defending the impor-
tant points on this front. East of the
Argonne, the Americans continue to
maintain and improve their positions
in the face Of strong German resist
ance.
In the last 10 days the western bat
tie front has seen great changes as
the allies have forced their way
through the Hindenburg line. Around
Cambria the British line is less than
mile from the center of the city.
South of Cambria the st. Quentin
canal forms the line until the region
southwest of LIE Catelet Is reached.
Between here and st. Quentin the
British have driven in a sharp sal
lent with it's apex at Levergies. ST.
Quentin is surrounded north, west
and south whence the French hold
an irregular line southwark to La
Fere. -
