This Is Flag Day for .Lancaster by proclamation of Mayor Trout, and there are few buildings not decorated with the national colors. Prench and British forces are closing tin on St. Quentin, which seems now to be their immediate objective. General Haig's troops have taken Vermand and Savy, bringing their lines within three miles of St. Quentin, and the evacuation of this town by tho Germans, like the abandonment of Bapaume and Poronne, is predicted. The fact that the British are within even less than three miles from the main road linking Cambrai to St. Quentin leads to the belief that the whole line may be given up by the Germans either to mass troops for an offensive elsewhere, as it is said, or to defend a shortened line east of the Sommo. r$t austrlaca: V$f Fortl nevlcate nelle zone tiiontuo?c iy aella fronte dl battaglla l.anno osta- ' eoiato le azlonl Ul artlgllcrla, ma qucste V "Olo state dl prororzloni concldere Wi volt nel settore ad'eat dl Qorlzla e sul .1 V Carsn.
