BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,
Aug. 2S. German forces In southern
PIcardy are retreating over a wide
front. '
After the capture of Roye by the
French yesterday, tho German front
has crumbled. The lines which have
held back the French and Hrltbth for
the last two weeks are giving way
and today's official reports show the
French on a line less than three
miles west of tho Somme river and
canal.
Thirty villages hove been captured
toy the French in the udvan'co which
started early Tuesday. Chaulnes has
ibeen captured and ninny other vital
points have been taken from the re
tiring enemy.
While the French have been smash
ing the enemy's front along the
haulnes-Roye line, the British have
swung forward In the sector east or
Arras. North of the Arras-Canvbral
road they have reached the outskirts
of the villages of lluucourt, Itemy
and Boiry Notre Dame, about a mile
cast of the positions whore they were
known to be yesterday.
Allied Sleam Holler flushes
South of the Somme the British
have taken Faucuncourt, while nortli
of the river they have gained nearly
all of Trones wood.
In the Flanders area the British
huve advanced their line over a front
of four miles astride the Neuf Ber
quln road. This is the area from
which the Germans have been retir
ing for the last three weeks.
Every means known to modern
warfare are being used by the enemy
to stay the onrush of the I til t Is li and
French, but the allies' machine moves
on. Heavy reinforcements have been
thrown Into the fray by the Germans,
mostly In the center around Ba
paume. The one desltt of the enemy
appears to be to find a line where he
can stand long enough to make an
orderly retirement.
I'eronno Appl'oiirhcil
Among the ruins and shell craters
of the old Somme battlefield about
Bapaume the Germans nre putting up
a stiff resistance. Bapaume Itself Is
now part of No Man's land, but the
Germans are clinging to evory foot as
long as possible. Great confusion Is
reported behind tho German lines on
this sector and the enemy Is digging
a trench line to the east of Bapaume.
North and south of the Somme the
British press onward toward Per-
