(Special to the Guardian)

LONDON, August 23.-The army of

General Mangin is well over the

Oise to the east of Noyon and the Oc-

cupation of tllat important town is certain to take lplace soon ii' the French are not already in possession. No less than' seven main roads con- verge at Noyon. The railway from Paris to La. Ferl' passes through the town, and the Oise Canal is Of great value in tho trnnslportatlon of heavy material. When lllnden-burg evacu- lted the Noyon sal-lent In the spring of 1917 the town was spared. Tile Jill cathedral was stripped of all its lnetal, including the lend in which ts priceless old stained glass win- 'lows had been set, but apart from that vandalism the town was left in

good condition. That was because all the old and infirm people from the surrounding countryside were concen- ,trated in Noyon while their farm vil- ~iages"'_were destroyed and their fruit trees cut down. From Noyon itself all women and lgirls between the ages lf sixteen and sixty were compelled ,o accompany the Germans in their retreat, on the ground that their ser- vices were needed in the 'delds and n the billets behind the Hlndenburg ‘ine. Noyon was the headquarters of he French armies until tile British Fifth Army took ovcl' the St. Quentin ge Fcre front early in the present /ear. 'lt was the scene of heavy "lghtlng in March, and 'the French ;ave it up only after a prolonged hand-to-hand struggle. It has been shelled and bombed frequently since that time and during the present week has been under constant fire of .he French guns. There can be little left of the town that is famous as Calvin's birthplace, 'but the roads that made Noyon what it was remain and bytheir use the French will be able to feed and munition the eager soldiers of Msngin and Humbert who are driving the Germans back with remarkable rapidity toward the illn- denburg line on the Laon-Le-Fore pla-

teau. _

At the point whore the trench sys~

tem held bylthe Germans during the winter of 1917-18, passes through the lower forest of Coucy. the French stand this morning, albout four miles from the Hindenburg lines. Tile pre- sent rate of advance, if it can be con- tinued. will carry them across the lower forest of Coucy and up to the plateau of the high forest before the end oi the week. That would mean the outflanking of the entire German position on the heights of the Alsne and the Chemin des Dames. The most effort that the German staff can put forth will be exerted to prevent Mangin‘s men from securing a foot- ing in the rugged hill country of the upper forest of (loucy, for once there the French would be able to turn and rend -the Crown Prince's army on the Aisne and Vesle.

15,000 PRISONERS ANP MORE THAN 200 GUNS CAPTURED sllvcs' MONDAY

in the advance begun Monday and

continued from day to day the army of General Msngln has captured over 15.000 prisoners and more than 200 guns and has inflicted very heavy los- ses upon the retreating Germans. To the we'st of the Oise on the Laaaiguy and Roye sector the French line has been pushed forward steadily in the lace of resistance of the most lies- perate nature. The region is well wooden and broken, and the Germans have been taking advantage ol the defensive lines built by them during, three years' occupation from 1914 to 1017.

indicates that they have been hunted out of these -poaitions`_and are failing blelt to the east, still hghting rear gland actions with persistent cour-
