It is unce: tain what lines the enemy has in the rear. The British advanc threatens the German line of retreat in the Oise valley and alsi from the massif of St. Gobain. Between the Aisne and the Vesle rivers, French troops i the last three days have advanced on a front of ten miles to depth of three to four miles.
