The outer defenses of the Hindenburg line protecting St. Quentin and Le Catalet the connecting link between St. Quentin and Cambrai were penetrated and captured on wide sectors of a sixteen mile front by the British third a.id fourtdi armies, under Generals Sir Julian Byng and Sir Henry Rawlinson today. At the time Field Marshal Haig issued his night report more than 6,000 prisoners had been taken. Many guns and a great store of material also were captured.

Le Catalet is near fall as a result of the successful smash. Nearly a dozen important villages were taken by the British, who attacked in the midst of a pouring rain and in the face of the most determined defense the Germans have yet put up this year. A maximum advance of more than three miles was scored. At various points tho British swept beyond their old trench system of March, "1918, prior to the German super-drive. The drive was launched between Holnon village two and a half miles northwest of St.

Quentin and Gouzeau-court, 6 miles northwest of Le Cate let. flpr p'ng rageI tonight in Lemtire village, only three miles southwest of Le Catelet. Frcsnoy-le-Petite, three miles west of St. Quentin, was captured. The British pencrat-ed tho German positions west and! southwest of Bellicourt, where they are about three miles' due south of Le Catelet, which is thus threatened by envelopement.

The formidablo Siegfried line crumbled like pasteboard in the attack. Berlin officially admitted tonight that tho "German center on a front of some five miles was penetrated but counter attacks are progressing." The assertion that "we are fighting west of the Siegfried positions" is meant to camouflage the furious re verse and instill hope in the German people that the main line is still intact. To the south of Holnon, whiah form ed the extreme right of the British line of attack, the French joined the offensive, driving for local objectives which at last accounts had been reached.
