14 SEPTEMBER 1918, Page 1
On our right the French armies advanced in swift strides
between the Somme and the Oise. They took Ham, Chauny, and Tergnier on Friday week, when some divisions advanced over six miles. On Saturday last the French covered another five miles, and crossed, at St. Simon, the Crozet Canal, which connects St. Quentin and Tergnier in the Oise Valley. They crossed the canal further south last Sunday, and rapidly moved towards the road between St. Quentin and La Fere. They reached this road on Monday and occupied the village of Travecy, two miles north of La Fere. The Hindenburg line runs a little to the east.
