RETREAT TO HINDENBURG LINE THOUGHT INEVITABLE.
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. / LONDON. Sept. i. The United Press correspondent states that the latest battle of the Somme is definitely won. There remains only a little pressure here and there until Hindenburg's divisions are again all behind the Hindenburg line. The German counter-attacks about Peronne merely — show that the Germans object to the pace which the Australians are setting, for if they accepted that pace it would mean involving losses of thousands instead of hundreds. Nobody here believes in the invulnerability of the Hindenburg line. The New Zealanders, after their marvellous advance to the edge of Bapaume, refused to consider the proposition that they be relieved before the ci'y was actually taken. |
