SOISSONS FREED OF
DANGER; GERMANS
NOW OUT OF RANGE

With the French Armies in the
Field, April 21.-No more is scissors
the target range of the German guns.
For the first time since the battle of
the Marne the city tonight was freed OF
the menace of Teuton shells-and by
the most brilliant bit of strategy, COM
bined with fierce fighting-that the
present great offensive has yet devel-
oped. That action cut off the 'salient
northeast Of scissors and pushed the
Germans back.
While one converging column of
French troops attacked to the south
east of Laffaux and Nanteuil, a second
column was crossing the Aisne at two
places, one east of Conde, the other
south OF vailly. They fought their way
to the north, effecting juncture with
the Laffaux army, and thus cutting off
the entire salient between there and
Soissons. In that salient of the Ger
man line was Included the almost i'm
pregnable Vailly bridgehead, as well AS
Fort Conde, -one of the outer circle Of
the Notifications defending Laon. These
great defenses dominated both the
Aisne ana the Vesle valley.
HASTILY EVACUATED.
OuIy u nasty CNdCuAtiOH ny Inc GcT-
mans both Of the vailly bridgehead and
Of Fort Conde and a retreat prevented
the French troops from encircling a
great number of the enemy troops IN
this salient. The Germans quickly saw
they were about to be cut completely
off.
The victory here not only makes
Soissons safe from German lombard
ment for the first time in more than
two years, but 1t permits the French to
assault vigorously the Chemin des
Danes, or ladies' road" running down
to the east of Laffaux to Craonne.
This highway occupies a ridge Of an
average OF 600 feet in altitude-the
highest elevation north of the Aisne.
The position dominates the entire .pla-
teau, running down by gentle slopes to
the former French fortified city Of
Iaon-now greatly re-fortified by the
Germans.
Today the French were making full

pIode the theory that this country
faces a short. bloodless war.
Balfour made 1t clear that the war
will be long. that it will tax our
