General von Ardenne says that theTHERAPION No. 1 German Command owed part of its aue- cess to the fact that, the two wings of the German front were turned inward, and so seized the British front as though noticeable at Rapaume, but he does admit that Yon Hatier's army was de- layed in its right wheeling movement by the attack of "four Allied divisions upon it at Chauny. From the way Gea- cral von Ardenne puts it, it really looks as though this delay was critical, but he proceeds to say that this army querran its objectiven Neale, Roye, and Libonis is the days immediately following. He also lays great stress on the invalu- table work of the German pioneers, especially the light railway sections, and states that at Pozieres, near Albert, con- siderable rolling stock and 20 field co- motives were captured.
