FROM GENERAL MAURICE.
fAUSTRALIAN &’■ N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION/
LONDON, October 16
General Maurice writes: The military situation is extraordinarily, favoUrable, but he tides not see any likelihood of another and greater Sedan. Sir Douglas Haig’s victory of the Bth of October compelled a German withdrawal to the Hindenburg line. The second retreat, however, is not yet complete. The Americans northward of Verdun are breaching the Kriemhilde line. The French at Sissone are breaking in the Hundung Line.
The British at Le Gateau and Solesmes are menacing the northern extension of the Hundung system. On the whole, however, the German withdrawal is being well carried out. There is no sign of their fighting spirit being broken, though it has ostensibly weakened. The enemy’s delaying actions, together with their utilisation of their many railways which are not shown on ordinary maps, makes Sedans difficult of accomplishment. Meanwhile Marshal Foch’s power of attacking is everywhere daily increased.
