London, To-day. What is probably one of the largest tips on record was given by an American- passenger leaving Britain to a stevedore yesterday.

German territory occupied at the junction of the Saar and Blies the day before yesterday, accord- ing to a semi-official survey of the military oper- ations.

While it is true that the operations are important

and marked by definite progress on a large front, they do not yet involve the bulk of the French troops massed in this region but only reconnais- sance elements supported by an advance guard of infantry.

It may be noted that the Siegfried Line in this region is only a dozen ki- lometres to the north though the German fortified (loop) line front at Saarbrucken comprises nevertheless, a kind of outer defence for the Saar region.

The German offensive on the weatern extremity of the Front along the Moselle in the region of Slorck was not pursued and was merely a minor diversion.-Reu- tor.
