THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1918, (two miles southeast of Roye) and Verpilliers (a mile | south of Roiglise). Further south, Crapeaumesnil Wood (3 miles ani of Lassigny) was penetrated, and Dives (two miles east of Lassigny) was captured. North of the Avre the French reached the general line of Licourt (four miles east of Chaulnes), Potte (a mile and a half south of Licourt), Mesniel-le-Petit (a mile north and south of Licourt), Mesniel-le-Petit (a mile north and slightly east of Nesle) and Nesle. WHOLE GERMAN FRONT CRACKING. | The German line is cracking along the whole fifty- mile front from Lassigny to north of Arras. The enemy is falling back hastily upon the Somme, the centre of which is marked by Peronne and Ham. The Allies are pursuing them so closely it is doubtful if they can establish a strong defense in those positions. * The Temps declares that Mont Renaud, one of the bastions in the defense of Noyon, has been captured, and that Noyon also has probably been taken. Allied airplanes and artillery are bombarding the} ; Somme bridges, over which the Germans must cross to the east bank. The Allied infantry at some points is only two} ; kilometers (a mile and a quarter) from the Somme. They have passed eight kilometers (five miles) east of Chaulnes. | : Capture of Dives (two miles east of Lassigny) shows the | extension of the battle southward. The French have occupied Crapeaumesnil, south of Roye, taking several thousand additional prisoners, accord- ing to a despatch from the front. ' French cavalry is now operating in the region of | Nesle. The fiercest fighting is going on to the southward, | where the French are threatening the Noyon-Nesle road and the canal. Enormous booty is being taken. One army corps has | captured eighty additional guns. WHERE ALLIED LINES EXTEND. LONDON, Aug. 28.—The French line in the Somme begins at Marchelepot and runs as follows: Licourt, Potte, Mesnil-le-Petit, west of | Nesle, Solente, west of Avricourt, Dives, Divette, west of Bois de la Re- | serve, Dive-le-France and Passel.
