On the Upper Oisc the British are fighting despot-E

here from two different sources is the first definite in-

raged Sunday and Monday, and by sheer weight of num-
bers the Germans secured a slight advance. .
Military experts point out that from the present po-
sition on the Upper Oise River the German advance will
become increasingly difficult owing to the natural-fea-
turcs of the c01111tr1 as well as the artificial defenses
that will have to be encountered. . ‘

lines the allies are playing for time in the hope that the
