Allied Forces Press On in Valenciennes Front
In recent fighting from Valenciennes east of Lecateau to the Meuse sector, British French and American troops advance despite German resistance and flooded lowlands. In the Meuse area the American Army north of Verdun pushed about a kilometer on a three kilometer front and seized forest positions after brief artillery prep. Paris reports French troops crossed the Oise canal opposite Longchamps and gained ground between the Oise and Serre rivers. British forces along the Sambre canal to the Scheldt have pushed forward, capturing 7,000 prisoners and 100 guns since Wednesday morning.
