GERMAN RETREAT REACHES SECOND DEFENSE LINES

(By Associated Press) PARIS. March 22. The German retreat to the Arras-St. Quentln-Fere line is now practically complete since the French are now within a, short range of St. Quentln and La Fere. The movement has been carried out - by echelons, according to approved principles, one section! holds firm while the next fell back. The allied operations are now concerned with driving in the last of these sections which are still resisting. They are situated respectively south of Arras, southeast and east of Peronne, east of Ham and the valley of the Ailette and north of Soiseons. Just in the middle of the line, east of Peronne and between the Plain of Cambfal to the north and the plain of the Somme to the south, is one of the few positions of defensive value running to the east of Roisel and Vermand The Germans showed signs of intending to cling to this salient but it its now, too, gone, the British being close to both Boisel and Vermand. Another strong section which is still holding out occupies a formidable defensive position formed by the Forest of Cooucy but from the signs of destruction in the rear of the defenders, apparently resistance is only being made to secure the retreat to the princip line at St. Gobain. As the result of Wednesday's opera

tions, the British line Is now level with the French which runs along the Crezat Canal from St Simon to Tergnier. At the latter point, the French positions are less than two and a half miles from La Fere. Part of the road from Our scamp to Noyon which was paved with granite had ' been un paved by the Germans but In less than a day the French engineer corps bad repaired the road, rebuilt bridge after birdge and put the railroad in working order as far as Ourscamp. The military commissariat has sent two hundred bullocks to Noyon and distributed 10,000 brean rations. Be

fore leaving the Germans made a clean j. sweep of the Noyon banks, sending to '

Germany securities valued at 18,000,000 !
