In their great race to attain the communications connecting the north and south at Amiens the Germans had the advantage of knowing exactly where they were going, and- when the British and French troops retired before the immense volume of German troops, the enemy again was favorably placed for rushing reinforcements from one part 'of the line to another, owing to. the fact that he occupied the interior lin of a semi-circle in which the battle was being fought. In the first few days of fighting, the Germans naturally were able to pick up many groups of prisoners which had become isolated from the main bodies during the receding movement, but recently their haul of captives has bean comparatively small. The French did remarkable feats in connection with the transport of troops when called upon to support their British allies in holding the southern part of the line in the first stage of the battle.
