12 HUNS GIVE UP LAON AND ST. GOBAN TO POILUS (Continued From First Page) tlie Allies on each side, they went with such speed that the change in the battle line in that section of the front during a few hours was astonishing. Xot until the French reached the Laon l.a Fere railroad did they encounter and real resistance. Italian troops participated in the advance and now arc en gaged 011 the hills north of the Ailette river. At this particular point the German lines have been pressed back, or have been withdrawn, so that a sharp angle has been created. Allied Advance Slows Down With the exception of the area north of Douai. there appears to have been a slowing down of the Allied advance during the past two days. At no point have the British and Americans swept ahead as they dill on Thursday and Friday last week. This may indicate the Germans have-reached what is known as the llynding or Brunhild line. This position, while apparently much less formidable than the Ilindenburg system, still is strong enough to retard pursuit by the Allies and perhaps hold them up for some time. The 1 landing line runs from Antwerp to Ghent and thence to Tournai, C'onde. V alenciennes, Solesmes, Guise. Rethel, \ ouziers, Duji-sur-Meuse, and then down the base of the St. Mihicl salient to the Moselle, where it joins the old front run ning through Lorraine and the Vosges to the Swiss frontier. British Units Reach Solesmes French and the British forces virtually have reached this line east of Cambrai and St. Ouentin. British units are reported at Solesmes, while the French, farther south,-are within four miles of (ittise. On the Champagne front General Bertholet is less than five miles from Rethel. while farther east. General Gouraud has taken \ ouziers, but has not penetrated much north of that place. Americans fighting in the Argonne region are through the Kriemhild line, but their progress there is very slow. Huns Avert Disaster Study of the tactics followed by the Germans-during the past week has shown that they are following the methods of retreat used in the Maine and Somme sailents in July and August. "They have held their flanks fairly secure and have withdrawn their center. They have thus apparently escaped disaster around Laon, where military experts have said the Germans had delayed their retirement too long for their own safety. British Reach Douai In the region of Douai, British troops arc fighting their way forward against desperate resistance and in spite of numerous waterways which serve to hold up their advance. Douai virtually i is reached, while to the north the line is sagging oft" sharply to the: east. Should Douai fall, the British will be able to advance on Valenciennes. The Oise river has been crossed by the French at Originy, I northeast of La Fere, and they have advanced close to the river to the north. In Albania, the Italians have captured Kavaya, twelve miles! southeast of Duraz^o. France Breaks -Wtih Finland Paris. Oct. 14. France has broken oft" the semoft'ivial dip-: lomatic relations which have existed with Finland it is officially announced. This action was taken because the Finnish diet, having by a coup d'etat substituted a monarchy for a republic, and called a German prince to the throne.
