CAMBRAI EVACUATED.
GERMANS’ WOBBLY POSITION. AROUND CAMBRAI AND QUEANT. /Received This Day at 12.25. p.m.i LONDON, 26th. The United Press correspondent at headquarters states Prince Ruppreeht’s position around Cambrai and Queant is extremely wobbly, notwithstanding th e sacrifices. The heights of Bourlbn are saturated with German blood, yet though ho still holds, the British are virtually in front, behind and on the flank of Queant, the garrison of which is in dire peril, and with it, those manning the unstable Hindenburg line as far north as the Scarfe. Cambrai was evacuated, becuse it is useless- as a distributing centre and also • the Cambrni-Queaut- railway was cut and when the British occupied Bourlou village, the other railways, highways and canals became practically unavailable.
