FRENCH TROOPS CUT HUN LINES fl'viTEn Preps Cast ei-jram 1 LONDON, Sept. 7, 1:10 p. m. The French have occupied the important railway junction of Tergnier, cutting off the German line of communication between St. Quentin and Laon, it was learned authoritatively today. So far the French have advanced on an average of two miles on a twenty mile front but at placis

they have gone forward more than fo-jr miles. Trcgrees on practically the whole front from Marvincourt -wood to the Alsr.ii ce-ntinued this morning m-re rapidly than w?s expected, it was learned. The British now occupy practical.' half of Marvlncourt wood.

GERMANS FALLING BACK.

nNiTrr Tress fPLnn m J WITH THE BRITISH IN V RAN" K, Sept. 7. Fndr pressure from the Autrallans and the Lnglish the Germantoday continued steadily falling back toward the Hindenburg line. Having the benefit of attacking from high ground, the British are likely to make comparatively short work of the intervening distance. What oppesitte.n the line itself offers remains (o be seen. The Wotan switch already hld by the British is considered identical wjti the. rest of the Hindenburg line. It s unlikely that if the British attempt take the remainder thev will find the Germans have evolved anvthing new in the nature of defense.
