The allied troops have penetrated important po sitions of (he lloutholst forest, Ger man possession of which had stayed previous attempts to advance south of tho lloutholst forest, (lerman pos session of whilic had stayed previous attempts to advance' soulh of the Uelgian coast. Tills operation appar ently is directed toward the German submarine bases in Belgium and the outflanking of Lille. French troops are fighting for ward up the slopes toward the Clie min lXs Dames. They have gained further ground south of Fort Jlal niaison and have taken the important points of .Touy and Aizy and the ra vine between. Kranro-Ainwiciui Front ' The Franco-American drive west and east of the Argonne to the MeuBe continues successfully. The French have moved their line forward west of tho Argonne forest und captured important positions on their western flank. East of the Argonne the Ger mans are fighting desperately to hold the lirunhildo positions, but the Americans are progressing at several points. In the last three days, the British, French and Americans have taken more than 2 7,000 prisoners, In their Cambral drive, tho British have cap tured 10,000, while the Franco Ameriwins have increased their total to more than 16,000. The Belgians und British are reported to have cap tured 1000 Germans. Serbian and other allied forces in Macedonia, are pressing vigorously the pursuit of the disorganized Ger mans and Bulgarians. The Serbians have taken Veles with Its garrison and are moving up the Vardar to ward the great enemy base of Uskub, 2"i miles northwest.

South of Archangel American and other troops have advanced move than fifty miles and American troops have taken several villages along the Dvlna river.
