Aritienl it i'es ate in retreat with the British in close 'pursuit are
hurriedly abandoning the region south of the lys river where they
are in dancer f envelopment . This retreat seems t lu ' uncovered
the important eity of l.ille and will probably make imperative a
withdrawal all the way down the line in front of Arras.
North of the wedi driven into the (ierman lines by the Anglo-
I'elyian drive there are no indications of a retirement as yet.
although military rritics believe that theHermau hold on Osteml

allies.
Smashing against the Herman line cast of St (dentin. Field
Marshal Ilaig's army plunged through the last line of the formidable
1 limlenhurg system yesterday. This assault seems to have been a
blow struck at a vital spot in the enemy's defense and its suceef.s
is attested by the progress made during the day. Terrific efforts
made by the (iermans to halt the progress of the British were
fruitless and it is reported that British cavalry and tanks have
reached the open country bac k of the enemy's line.
Further mieeesses at this point would seem to shake the whole
flerrnnn line from Douai to h'heinis. The enemy so far as known
has no other position in that region as formidable ilH those captured
during the past week by the allies. Directly behind -his front are
railroads wlii h are vital to the enemy forces fighting farther to
the south.
Near Hheims (ieneral Iterthelot 's army made new progress nnd
the time seems not far distant when the cathedral city will he freed
from German artillery fire for the first time since If) 11. This
advance by the French has a very close relation to that of the
British around St (juentin. as well as on operations farther oast in
Champagne. There are some military experts who believe that this
drive is of greatest strategical value than any other now going on
in France.
(leneral fiouraud's army in Champagne has at last cleared the
western gate of Omul Pre gap. which rims north of the Argonue
forest. Challernnge has been taken and the Germans west of that
village have been forced to give more ground.
Fast of the Argonne f'oresf the American forces facing the
Knemhild-Steehitig lino appear to be held up by the desperHte
defense of the enemy. This may be only temporary however as
the nature of the country has made it difficult to niove up heavy
artillery fothe resumption of the drive against the enemy.
