He has already pushed a sufficient force across the Vesle to hold bridgeheads on the right bank. The enemy risks hay-, ing his line cut through at the weakest point,, and the severing of the northwestern end of the - plateau from the strongly-held ridges to , the east. Thus we are threatening the direct line of the retreat across the Aisne of tho force now holding the ridge.
