This salient was extended 011 Saturday. The main line of pressure thus changed from south to south-west, the ncutest stress of the .battle being represented by two bulges, the first between the Oise and the A : .-ne, directed towards ('ompiegne, and the second between the AiSne and the Marne, pointing towards the Ourcq, in the direction of I.a Forte .Miluii. There were violent struggles on Sunday in both sectors, with a notable increase in the. power of the French resistance. The tier man assaults nortTi of the Aisne were nearly everywhere broken.
