Meanwhile, the French forces under General Niville are keeping up their offensive south and southeast of St. Quentin and again have made north and south of the town. They have captured good progress along the river, several German trench systems and organized points of support east of Neuville-sur-Margival, inflicting heavy casualties on the Germans and driving back to the outskirts of Vauail. West of St. Quentin, their line is on the British line. The British have thrust through the village of Savy and the wood of Savy and now are resting only three miles from St. Quentin. Near Savy, the Germans resisted tenaciously, off, losing but finally were beaten heavily in killed and wounded. North of this region, the villages of Vendelles, the St. Quentin-Croisselles road, and Epehy and Peizieres, have been taken on by the Russians.
