London, Aug. 13.
The fall of Lassigny, expected
hourly, ptobably will force the Ger
mans to retreat to the Sommc canal
line an additional retirement of 'five
to ten miles all along the front ac
cording to information received here
this afternoon.

The French have traine'd control 1rV
thq entire Massif of Lassigny, on the'
-...-... cm ui mi; x-icuruy naitie-
cardy bi
front, according to
advices this
afternoon.
This gives 'commpnd of the town
of Lassigny and the Valley of the
Divette, as well as the entire district
t othe north. The fall of Lassigny la
expected at any time.
Xoion AiirIo Doomed
The capture of the maslf by tm
rrench must inevitably have the most
acrlous effect on the Oerman posi
tions over a wide area, and this effect
should begin to show within forty,
eight hours The massif was the
hinge of the old German positions In
the whole angle in the Nojon region,
and now that this hinge has burst the
entire angle must jield to the relent
less Allied pressuie.
The French gains on the Lassigny
massif already have forced the Ger
mans to evacuate a long line of
trenches in the valley of the Oise and
are calculated to force further evacua
tions almost immediately. Xovon will
come under the flie of the French
guns as soon as the artillery can be
moved up Then the road transports
on the whole network of highways
around Xojon will become a difficult1
problem for the Germans.
Earlier advices from the front sale!
that the French were almost entirely ,
on the crest of the massif and heavy,
fighting was in progress At the time"
these advices were received the Ger
mans appealed to be holding out at
ono cornei of the massif. The corner
is uue- in me iiigiiesi numps ot tn f
hills and the French, according to
the latest information, have conquered
it after a dcspeiato struggle. 1
Will Command Roje j
When the French get their guns tf.

tions with rtoje will come under Are
The early fall of Itoj e Is anticipated " ,
In the opinion of experts here the
evacuation of Roje may be expected ,
within a dav or two, for tho town la
now under a crossfiie. The abandon
ment of Rojle by the Germans would
also make Chaulnes difficult to hold.
Thus recent history on the Marne Is
counted upon to repeat Itself on this
