In the meantime tremendous fight

East of Ypres the entente attacked
and over all the old Flanders battle
fled drove us out of our foremost
positions, and, in part. also back over
the artillery protective line. We were
compelled to withdraw the army to a
rearward position.
In the direction of Cambria. on the
27th, a strong enemy attack gained
ground beyond the canal. although
every possible step had been taken to
resist them. Further south, up to the
Vesle, the front held
In Champagne and on the western
bank of the Mouse a big battle had
begun on September %, French and
American troops attacking with far
reaching detectives. Westward of the
Argonne we remained masters of the
situation, and fought fine defensive
battle.
Between the Argonne and the Mouse
the Americans had broken into our
positions. They had assembled a
powerful army in this region and their
part in the campaign became more
and more important. We held their
push, however. the 27th being in the
main day of success for us. while
on the 2Sth, too. we held our lines,
apart from certain notifications of
our front which we carried out in ac-
cordance with our plans.

again the scene of tremendous fight

On September 20 and following days
there was further fighting. bringing
the usual difficulties, but not compell-

sions.

feat of the Americans and British in
breaking the Hindenburg line, that
great system on which the Germans
had expended every possibility OF
their engineering skill and workman
