WEDNESDAY WAR SUMMARY.

J Germany’s beaten armies on the western front are retreating everywhere, it appears from official dispatches today. Between the Scheldt sweeping ahead oA Maubeuge and Mons. Between the Sambre and the Argonne the French have gained sir miles in the last twenty-four hours. Between the Argonne and the sector east of the Meuse-the Americans are still advancing nearer to Sedan and the cutting of the railway which ifritl spell disaster so rthe enemy. The situation is one of grave peril to the enemy. Any material advance by the French or Britisih may split the German armies apart and bring about a disaster of the first magnitude. Study of the maps indicates the possibility that the enemy troops may be split into three groups, if Marshal Foch'continues his advance. Some military critics abroad declare that the battle now developing will prove the decisinve battle of the war.
