Meantime on the center of the allied right wing southwest of Ithelms violent attacks by the French have forced the enemy to give further ground and enabled the French to capture several towns of strategic value and to draw their front appreciably nearer the high road which runs northeastward from Dormans to Rheims. The Huns are on the run, but on the deextreme wings of the gradual near Soissons. and creasing pocket Rheims the enemy, heavily reinforced, is holding tenaciously, realizing that successes there would result in a general crumbling of his plans of defense against the locking up of his entire armies inside the big bag. In addition to the large number of troops for reinforcement that have been thrown on these two sectors, the German long range guns from the region north of Soissons and north and northeast of llheims are keeping both wings of the salient Under a heavy enfilading fire. Under the battering tactics of the Americans and Frenchmen the German line on the south has now been driven back more than twelve miles from the point, south of Chateau Thierry, where the allied troops locked the door to Paris against the enemy July 18 and themselves became the aggressors in what has turned out one of the greatest battles of the war. Our men have been making a number of small raids into German trenches, discovering the enemys strength and dispositions and doing as much damage as possible in a short time. The English, Australian, Canadian adit New Zealand troops have all been taking a share in these grim adventures and nearly every raiding party brought back a few prisoners. The line along the greater part of Franco-America- the bottom of Soissons-Itheim- s salient has been pushed forward in some places as much as five miles. The Germans are 'bringing into play their artillery in force to check the plunges of the Franco-America- n troops. The Americans have played a brilliant part the advance, which included uie occupation of Sergy, on the north bank of the river, and a number of small in villages. CASUALTY LIST INCREASING.

The past week has seen one success after another come to the allied forces, and bitter defeat for the Germans. The entire German Marne front has caved In and the liuns are on the run. The drive of the allies has been a complete success. Undoubted signs are apparent that the Germans are withdrawing from the entire region between the Marne and the Oureq, where the enemy has found It virtually impossible to maintain f because of the allies steady advance and bombardment. The advances scored by the allies in the past week have been chiefly along the front on which Focli launched his Arriving at Soissons the French stopped. The enemy rushed troops into the tpwn, but Foch did not strike at that pfJiut. He permitted the enemy to do the fighting iu the Soissons region and delivered his punch further south along the line. The advantage gained thereby was that the enemy concentration at Soissons was valueless unless th"e enemy attacked. Realizing the situation, the German high command ordered counterblows along the line. They drove the allies back a little from Soissons and southward iu the region of Ilartennes. When these counter-blow- s had spent their force the French and Americans again moved forward. By this time the Americans had taken the southern pivot at Chateau Thierry and were moving rapidly north toward Epieds, Brecy and Coincy. Further east the French and Americans had crossed the Marne near Jaulgonne. Between Soissons and Chateau Thierry the enemy was fighting desperately to hold another pivot, Oulchy le Chateau, west of the base at Fere en Tardenois. And to the north he fastened a wedge into the armies at Villemontoire. These two towns were held by the enemy until Wednesday or Thursday, but both are now in possession of the allies. Our American forces moving from the south had been held up by furious counter-attackThrice at Epieds. ejected from the town, they Raptured it by a clever maneuver and pressed on. In the next two days the French and Americans had drawn a line beyond Villemontoirs, Oulchy le Chateau, Coincy, which is several miles north of Epieds, and down to the river near Jaulgonne. East of that the enemy continued to grip th river. One of the most brilliant moves made by - the generalissimo was the flinging of the British army into the fight just southward of Rheims. The enemy high command could not have expected such a maneuver. When the full story of the battle is told, we shall probably hear that the allied airplanes and the heavy artillery shooting to great distances were enelargely instrumenal in forcing the of the later the in stages my to retire battle. They must have created many a panic and caused disorganization of an appalling sort along the railways and highways as well as at the bases. a During the week the French made local attack southeast of Amiens, in the Picardy sector. They penetrated to a depth of about two miles on a e recapturing high front, They took ground of great value. 1800 prisoners, four cannon and much military material. In the past .fifteen days the allies have captured about 30,000 prisoners, of machine nearly 500 cannon, hundreds munitions food supplies', German guns, of all kinds and depots containing all sorts of military material. In Albania the French and Italians have Secured more ground and have taken hundreds of prisoners.
