CUT GERMAN ROAD IN REAR

Act Cut Off Supply of Petrol for Aeroplanes. A Point in France, Oct. 6—Twice a small force of the allies has succeeded in temporarily destroying the Germans’ railway communications in the rear of the northern army. The result has been noticeable in the sudden cessation of activity of the German aeroplanes, which were left short of petrol. The attempts of the Germans to break or weaken the allies’ grip round the whole curve from Noyon to Arras have been foiled.
