FRENCH GAINING GROUND 8TEAD- ' ILV On the right the French are still gaining ground steadily. They have reached the crest of the hills west oi' the Oise and have virtually cleared the Matz valley of the enemy. The batltle is still confined within the limits fixed when the French ex- tended `the fighting area 'to the Oise. It has been expected that the combat might spread along the line, especial- ly to the northward, ‘bust this develop- ment has not as yet beenreported. iN THE PICARDV SECTOR _ , interest in the Picardy battle now centres upon the German efforts to stabilize tho front along the line from Albert south to Chauines, and to check the French efforts to envelop the enemy’s positions at Lassigny.

On the south ern end of tho front tho Germans havt been unable so far to do more than slow down the progress of the French. FRENCH CAPTURE ANTOVAL ln this sector an important advance is reported in -the fact that the loronch have reached Antoval on the crest of the hills west of Ribacourt. in the German drive early in June' the fall of Antovnl proved fatal to French hopes to hold the valley ot the Oise aswell as the -forts of Carls- pont on the east bank.
