GERMANS FORCED TO

ABANDON

ฟ

SAARBRUCKEN

Paris, To-day.

THE INCREASINGLY INTENSE French artillery ́fire has forced the Germans to completely eva- cuate Saarbruecken, which is now encircled on three sides.

Zweibruecken is threatened and is under continu-

ous French artillery fire.

The German artillery fire has lengthened and is now

being directed towards the French rear. Villages far behind. the lines, which had been eva-

cuated, are now being shelled.

The official French commentator says that the concentrations of Ger- man troops at Aachen (Aix-la-Chapel- le) are now considered to be not as "important as was at first thought.

He said that four German planes were brought down on Monday, and two French planes were lost In Germany..

SIEGFRIED LINE

Many important German positions in the Siegfried Line have been wiped out by French artillery fire.

It la stated in Paris that there are between 30 to 40 pill-boxes to the square mile in the Line.

The intense German fire is believ- ed to be intended as a protection for troops who are hurriedly re-building shattered blockhouses and erecting new pill-boxes.

German troops from the Polish front are still massing behind the Siegfried Line-Reuter.

RECONNISSANCE

A communique states that yesterday was marked by the activity of our air reconnaissance units.-Reuter.

UNABLE TO HOLD TOWN

Paris, To-day.

.. The Germans have completely eva cuated Saarbruecken.

The French seriously threatened Zweibruecken which has been under -continuous artillery fire.

Saarbruecken VIS evacuated :because the French artillery and machine gun fire became so heavy that the Germans were unable to 'hold the town. They were trying to loosen the grip with which the French had partly encircled it. Between Zweibruecken and Horn- bach, the Germans were showing un- casiness owing to the French hold on the Ohrenthal salient, which protrudes into German territory, its ridges do- minating the Hornbach stream.

German guns have been pounding the sallent for several days.-Reuter,
