North of Montdidicr the situation appears to be verv bad
for the Germans. The rapid advance of tbe French and British has virtually cul off the Iroops further south, who must
retire eastward loward Noyon over open roads which ore
under fire for long distances. If Chaulnes is captured the
German position Further south is precarious in the extreme.
Nothing is said in the dispatches this morning of the situ-
ataion in Flanders, where rqwrls slate the Germans are re-
