Beater's correspondent at French Headquartere, telegraphing on April 4, sys-General Foch, addressing the Anglo-French corre spondents, caid "All goes wall. The Bache, to call him by his usual name, has been completely stopped. His advance has been arrested since March 30." Turning to a map, on which the successive lines of the German advance had been daily marked since the bo ginning of the battle, General Foch pointed out that the last lines of progress shown, bore the successive dates of March 27, 28 and 20, and after the last date no more progress was shown because the German advance was then held: General Foch continued: "We' are now at April 4, sad it is therefore clear that the enemy's rush has been stopped. The wave has expired on the shore, because it has broke upon an obstacle. What the result of our success will be cannot be said. The future will show."
