If the French establish themselves north, of the Ai&ne in this region they will. iinmed'aitely turn not merely the German line of tihe Suippe but the next line of resistance ori tiie Retouone, hence the German desperation^ N<evertheless> tihe French cwssed the Aisne at Berry-rau-Bac, and advanced northwards.

Our progress in the next few days will probably be slower
