0 LONDON, Nov. 21.
Held Marshal Haig hus broken the HindcnburR line.
At various points on a front of u least a score of miles the British commander-in-chief
today reported his troops had smashed their way for a
distance cf between four and five miles through the first defenses of the vaunted
Hindenburg line.
The second line, more than a mile behind the preliminary defenses, was
llso stormed by the victorious Tommies. Thousands of prisoners and many
guns were taken.
Tanks battered down the German defenses, crumbled away some of the
artfully contrived German cement emplacements and ponderously drove forward
In advance of the artillery.
MANY VILLAGES CAPTURED
Cambrai is now almost in the hands of the British. Marcoing, Havrincourt
and numerous villages have been captured.
General Pershing, commander-in-chief of the American expeditionary forces,
