Summary by Marsh
Washington, ID. c.. Oct. 5.-The
American advance northwest of YER
dun threatens the greatest single line
OF communication between the Ger
mans on the western front, General
Marsh said today. and General PERISH
ing's forces have now reached a point
within Is miles of this great artery.
The progress of General Pershing's
forces caused the German general
staff to throw into this sector many
divisions of achievements. the chief
of staff said, but despite this the
Americans not only have maintained
the positions won but have pushed
forward until they now face the Ger
man Kriemhilde line of defense.
Summarizing the news for the past
week as excellent, General Marsh
said the ~offensives conducted by the
allies on three major sectors had re-
suited In a forward movement of the
battlefront for practically the entire
stretch from the North Sea to Verdun.
General Gouraud's army just west OF
the Argonne forest has fought its way
forward to a point where 1t also
threatens tn German Communica-
tion lines.

Marsh said, have broken entirely
across the enemy's zone of defense,

were closed by the Germans only

According to Report

ed interview with the emperor In

BOCHES BURN TOWNS
AS THEY RETREAT.
OutfoHght by French and Americans
On Front From RHEIMS to
Argonne

London, Oct. 7.-Outfought by the
French and Americans. the Germans
are retreating on a wide front in the
Champagne sector between Rheims
and the Argonne forest. The enemy
has been caught between General
Berthelot's army on the west and
General Gouraud's forces on the east
and Is retiring northward toward the
Retourne river.
II may be possible for him to stand
back OF that stream but 1t seems i'm
probable that there will be much of a
halt in the retreat until the Germans
reach the Aisne. General Bertheiot's
advance in the Rheims region has
gravely menaced the enemy forces
south of the Retourne and. although
the retrograde movement is being
covered by rearguards. we'll supplied
with machine guns, 1t appears to be
going on rapidly. The French seem
to have reached the Suippe over a
wide front
Americans Help Expel Huns
American forces have been battling
brilliantly with Gouraud's army and
have aided materially in expelling the
enemy from the Champagne sector.
and further east the Americans fight
ing between the Argonne forest and
the Meuse river are slowly clearing
the Germans from the area before the
Kriemhilde line and gathering their
forces for an assault on that powerful
position.
From the region OF Lille southwark
to Cambria, the German retreat, be-
gun when Lens and Armentieres
were abandoned last week, Is contin-
uing with what appears to be precipi-
tation. There Is every reason to be-
lieve that the city OF Lille will be
evacuated by the enemy within a few
days and that his retirement will ex-
tend for down the front to the st.
~ector where both the French
and British are reported to be clear
through the Hindenburg line.
Italians Smile Enemy Center.
SO far the German line from st.
Quentin south to the Ailette and
thence eastward to Berry au Bac Is
standing quite firmly and evidently
this part of the enemy's position is
being used as a pivot az his armies
to the north and east swing back to
new positions. Italian forces, how
ever, have struck at the German lines
in front of Laon and early reports of
progress there would appear to just
ify the belief that the hinge Of the
foes lines may be broken.
German de~tachments which have
been fighting beside the Bulgarian
army In Macedonia are being with
drawn, according to an announcement
made at Berlin. Serbian and French
forces are reported to have inflicted
a defeat on German and Austrian un-
it's near the city of vranje.
