SALIENT IN FRENCH LINE ON LEFT OF THE OISE.
VON HUTIER'S PLANS SUBJECTED TO GREAT DELAY. Australian and N.Z. (Received 8.40 D.m ) LONDON, June 12. The serious aspect of von Hutier's attack is his gain of territory west of the Ois<v, from which the French had to retire to Ribecourt, as the river was behind them and was not bridged. The withdrawal created a deep French salient on the left bank of the Oise from Ribecourt to Sempigny. The salient is only four miles wide at its narrowest point, so readjustment of the French line may be essential. Von Hutier's plans included the capture of Compiegne on Sunday evening by General Schoeler's cavalry. He, however, still has sis miles to go.
