Between Cambral and Arras there is a break in the French lines, through which the German Panzar

A solid phlanex of German in- fantry is also pushing on Lille from the opposite direction, that is, up the River Lys and River Scheldt in Bel- gium,
and claims to have reached Courtral and Megin.

The main northern army would be sluca facing the Germans on three with its back to the North Sea, along a line from the French coast south of Dunkirk to Lille, thence back to Ghent along the north bank of the River Lys and thence to the coast at the Belgo-Dutch frontier.
In effect, the Germans would pinch off the entire area between Lille and Valenciennes, and would widen the breach along the French frontier
