Aa a result the Hun army will be under a hellish fire from the rront, the sides and the base of the ridges. One of theHe wedgoa ha actually been made. The British will make every effort to Induce the Hun to start another wedge to the north or tho present one.

They have fixed their lines about 12 miles east of the city of Amiens and It Is evi dent that here they hare turned at bay against the Invaders.
