Germans Halt Major Amiens Drive on Foe Front
German forces have halted their large push toward Amiens after severe reverses. Reports detail a new 120 mile front from La Bassée Canal to Laon, with heavy artillery bombardment and attempts to widen the salient. Berlin claims 2000 prisoners taken as attacks continue toward Chaugy, Folembray, and beyond, while Pershing’s American units remain unconfirmed in Picardy.

Paris Was Objective of Big Hun Drive
German prisoners reveal to French critics that the main German offensive aimed at Paris rather than Amiens. The despatch outlines preparations for rapid open warfare, with depots, convoys, maps, and two days of food, indicating retreat from siege tactics. It notes German plans for rolling kitchens, three days’ provisions, and disciplined troop movement, underscoring disappointment after 15 days of operations.
