ENEMY BRINGING UP FRESH TROOPS.

DEFENCE OF THE HINDENBURG

LINE.

(Australian-N.Z. Cable Association.)

(Received Sept. p.m.)

London, Sept. 10.

Mr Phillip Gibbs writes:—<£s_ we approach; the Hin3enburg Line the-enemy are drawing thence strong reinforcements of fresh troops' to replace the tired retreating divisions, which- largely accounts for t&e stiffened resistance.

The enemy are strongly holding the commanding spurs before the Hindenbxyg Line a^^ng as possible. They hold Epehy, but our patrols are creeping round to the north and south.
