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.
