The point of the British wedge in the region north gf St. Quentin had been pushed at the end of yesterday's fighting to the high ground a mile northeast of Sequehart. The British are holding this ground, having repulsed a counter-attack. (Indications are that the Germans will attempt to make « stand fm Flanders on the Haute Deule Canal, waich winds from eight to ten kilometers east of the Lens-Armentieres line, northward to Lille.) More than 4,000 prisoners were taken yesterday by the British in their operations north of St. Quentin. News from all sectors of the western front tells of giant efforts by ths enemy to stem the daily advancing tide of battle. The Germans are putting in their best troops, and are fighting with the energy of despera- tion. Still there is no sign of any great retreat, except the withdrawal in the Flanders sector, where the British have occupied Armentieres an! Lens and are closely pressing the retiring enemy ¢ast of La Bassee toward Lilie. The secapture of the great French coal region affords great satis- faction here. In the Sequehart-Bony sector, the Allied breach in the Hindenburg system was extended to-day and the fighting reached the outskirts of Monbrehain, where Australian units, wit tanks, are operating. | RITISH CAVALRY REPORTED IN F RESNOY.

The emplacements were 100 yards “part and apparently were built more than @ year ago. A railroad had been constructed leading up to them and this enabled the enemy to re- move the guns, ammunition and everything of value. French and American heavy ar- ullery battered the enemy position» throughout the entire region along this front, and It is believed that the Germans made haste in removing the big guns as soon as they saw that a serious attack was impending. Big guna were scattered through the Argonne Forest and from day to day have been taken by the advan- cing New York suldiers, Among them were two 150's and several 77's, The forest has been thorougtly searched for these guns by vhe American iroops. Many of tho roads leading from the | Argonne Forest to Montfaucon and to Malancourt have been found to be |barred by concrete pillars as a_ pre | caution against the operation of A | tanks. At safe distunces behing these pillars anti-tank gun positions Jhave been found.
