HAIG 3IAKES REPORT.
Describing the action, Haig said: "Our infantry and
tanks, in accordance with the program, pressed forward
and captured the German second system more than a mile
beyond the first.
"Flesquiers was entered and Grand Ravine crossed.
After the capture of Havrincourt, rapid progress was
made at all points.
"The Masnieres canal was crossed. Marcoinc and Neuf ,i;1"' m-k-ii. trained men. perf.

MAIN LINE MENACED.
So great was the victory the British reports did not
even attempt to estimate the number of men and guns
captured. The German demoralization is complete. Not
only has the Ilindenburg line been penetrated and at
least two of its lines completely destroyed over a wide
front, but the British now directly menace the main Gei--man
line communications, Douai, Cambrai and St. Quen
tin. It is believed Cambrai is almost in British hands.
Haig did not locate definitely the driving front, but a
