British posts in the Region to the East of Arras near saucy Cauchy also were attacked and Here likewise the enemy was driven off. By the Agio cited press the teutonic Allied forces in Macedonia and Turkey still Are in flight before the armies of the while on the highly important St. Quentin sector in France the British and French armies after hard fighting have drawn More closely their lines in the investment of the town on the Northwest West and South. The stubborn resistance of the germans in defence and in counter attack has been unavailing except to impede the Progress of the men of the armies of Field marshal Haig and general Debeney. In Macedonia the bulgarian and German troops Are still faced with disaster in Palestine the remaining turks seem to have scarcely a Chance for escape from the British forces and Friendly tribesmen who Are closing in upon them East of the River Jordan. More than prison ers and 265 runs have been taken by the British and yet Gen. Allenby s appetite for further emoluments for his hard Campaign has not been gauged by the swiftness of the strokes Gen.

As yet there is no news of great activity in Albania but the resumption of operations there in conjunction with these in the East apparently cannot be Long delayed. On the French front the British have taken the Villa a a of Melency a scant two Miles from the Western environs of St. Quentin and both the British and French troops North and South of this line have driven further wedges into the German front. More than a thousand prisoners and Many machine guns have been taken by the British in these operations.

Here also the enemy was beaten off. Good weather has returned to the american sector of the Lorraine front but nothing has occurred there except the usual reciprocal bombardments and a resumption of Aerial activity on a great scale.
