countered little opposition, he added. The advance in the east has created a new pocket similar to that of Sois-sons-Rheims. It threatens the German railway and communication lines back of Chnulnes. Capture of this railroad would force German retirement along the Montdidier line. On the Vesle river Franvo-Americans have been nibbling at German positions without attempting to go up strongly held slopes. March said Foch has kept up the pressure on this line and on the principle that when you got the enemy going 'keep "him going. March related in detail the wonderful work of the Rainbow division in recent and present fighting. The twenty-seventh divisions, under command of General O'Ryan. has been with the British in Flanders for some time, it was disclosed. March declared the eighty-fifth division is now arriving in France. The seventy-ninth, he added, is still in training areas.
