and op the center remains virtu
ally as it stood Monday, although
all the allied troops have bettor
ejd slightly their stands and tak
en additional prisoners. The
Americans and; French at last
accounts still were in the envir
ons of Bray, north of the river,
the Germans continued in .pos
session of Chaulness and Roye,
which seemingly they intend to
defend . at all hazards.
Presh reinforcements and
I larere numbers of guns have"been
brought up.by the enemy to aid
him in his endeavors to hold the
line, which ;is essential to the
safety : of the German armies
now-in the pocket described by
the So mine on the north and
east and' the Oise on 'the south.
The Germans are not merely
on the defensive. At . salient
points here and there hey are
delivering:violent counter attacks
against tfoe allies and are also
bombarding fiercely the rear
areas. ;
Notwithstanding the; enmjL'ja
efforts howe ver, ? Chaulness is re
ceiving a mighty visitation of
shells -from the allied . guns and
Roye has. been so encroached
upon that it is . now under aviheavy
cross fire, from both the north
and south and ;seemingly both
towns ultimately must be evacu
a ted. Ah added danger in Roye
is the fact that the. French in
their operations are knocking at
the doors of Lassighy, about Sev
en (miles tovthe. south, and; also
are pressing forward eastward
toward Noyon in a wedge; driv
ing maneuver .which not only is
outflanking Roye but bringing
Noyon daily nearer the range of'
the big guns
Unofficial 'reports are: to the
effect that the Germans, fearing,
capture in the pocket between
Roye and' the Oise, already are
retreating along the Oise valley
toward 'Noyon, and if the stater
ments should .prove true it is
not unlikely that the entire Ger
man , battle line; the north will
give way i n u nison an d j in that
event there may be a readjust
ment of the enemy front from
Soissons to Rheims.
