ING MOVE TOWARD XOIITnT
By Associated Press
By striking with almost
Pled fury against the allied front
a point where the British and French
lines connect, the Huns last night
drove a deeper wedge to the west and
forced the French from Mt. Dldler.
This point Is nineteen miles to the
northwest of Amiens.
This Is declared to have been the
fiercest hand to hand "gating thus
far in the offensive, but the Germans
have paid dearly for their advanee,
and are now being held.
Apparently wishing to protect their
rjgbt wing from n flanking attack,
they are developing n threat to the
extreme north, and while. this might
develop Into an attempt to reach the
channel ports, the enemy seemingly
has all he can take care of la tko
present field, and Is probably merely
taking advantage of a protective
measure.
