great German offensives beginning on March 21 of this year and ending on July 18,the enemy’s troops have beenf withdrawing to points within their defensive line. This? morning, of the ground won in that prodigious effort to obtain a German peace by ia speedy decision only the Passchendaele, Pilkem and Messines ridges in the north. and a small strip of land west of St. Quentin and north of the Aisne remain in the enemy’s hands. How much of ii will remain tomorrow depends largely upon the fleetness of foot of the Australians who, advancing yesterday in the region of Peronne with English troops co-operating on the north, swept the country clean of the retreating' Germans on a front of almost fifteen miles to a width of' seven miles east of the Soinme. This advance, carried out in conjuncton with a similar sweep by Hi_imbert’s French Army on the Ham Chauny sector, brings the Allied front to a point between eight and nine miles l:`i'om St, Qiientiii and about four miles fi'oin La Fore, both of which cities are within the Hindenburg line. The front is evei°_vwhere well to the east of the old Somine battlefields and the ad- vance of the British and French troops is made across a. region little pitted with shell holes or seamed with

The progress of General I-Iumbert‘s army between

the Somme and the Oise was phenomenal. The forest clad hill country on Autremont was cleared of the machine gun nests left by the enemy to delay the French ad- vance. On the north bank of the Oise French cavalry rode into Chauny, found it unoccupied and press-ed forward to the outskirts of Terguier, an important railway junct- ion a little over three miles west of La Fere, on the south side of the Oise and the Germans state that they stand in fighting contact with the French at Amigny where there are advanced field works located which being on high ground command a wide stretch of the river valley. The Hindenburg line is immediately east of Amigny, northward, near the point of the junction with the Australians. Ham has been occupied and an advance has been made of about two and a half miles northeast of the high road to St. Quentin which is a little less than nine miles from the French advanced positions south of Oise. _ _

The Paris report says the Germans in their evacuat-

ion of the lower forest of Coucy were compelled to aban- don considerable munition depots. On that part of the front from the forest of Coucy south by Fresnes, Liscres Vauxaillon, the Laffaux farm, were scenes of terrific figthing during the struggle for the Hindenburg line. Along the Chemin Des Dames the French have occupied their old trenches again in the region between the Vesle and the Aisne east of Soissons. The Americans are con- tinuing their advance northward to the Aisne and are now close to the river just east of point Arcy where part of the British Army crossed the Aisne during the battle of 1914. _

The threat to Lille increases. The British troops who;

crossed the German front near Givenchy the other day and who are menacing La Bassee_ _and thesouthern slope; of the Aubres Ridge, held securely by the enemy for al-l most four years, have been reinforced by others _who} striking east from Festubert are advancing upon viol~_ aines with the evident intenton of enveloping the strongf c-nemy defences on the high ground of La Bassee. Tho Aubres Ridge was probably impregnable in the days oi'; infantry against barbed wire but it is certain that thcf defences upon* the Ridge are of little -use against a tank* Lille is so near the battle front and is so important that it; seems reasonable an effort _should be made to place it within the lines of the Alliesbefore winter. The firs‘; stages of an advance toward Lille must include the re 1 occupation of Arnieiitieres and the capture of La Bassce I;
