Soldiers enter the hospital with fac.

MENACED
BY THE AMERICANS
ADVANCE ALONG RAILROAD MAY
CHANGE HUN PLANS.
NEW DISASTER IS IMMINENT
" Won Hindenburg Cannot Check the
Allies at This Part His Forces
May Be Divided and Left In /
Two Pockets.
(By J. w. r. Mason.)

New York, July 31.--In reply to
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
counter attacks to the north of the
Ourcq the American troops are now
engaged in an advance along the main
railway leading to Fismes and threat.
en- to divide the Aisne and Ourcq sal.
tents into two narrow pockets.
Fismes is about mid way between
scissors and Rheims. If the Ameri.
can advance to Fismes is unchecked
and If Won Hindenburg delays his re-
treat east and to the west of the
American drive too long he may yet
meet with terrible disaster.
The possibility thai large bag of
German prisoners may be taken yet,
has now begun to return through the
operations of the Americans at the
Fismes railroad region.
May Yet Trap the Huns.
The eastern and western sides of
the Aisne and Oureq salient are so
strongly held by the Germans that
it makes the work of trying to push
inwardly very difficult. General Foch
therefore is trying to push northward
through the middle Of the southern
base Of the salient. This is the op-
GRAFTON in which the Americans around
the Fismes railroad are now en-.
gagged.
If the maneuvers Of the allies sue
coed the Aisne-Ourcd salient will be-
come in shape like a w, the three
tops being represented from left to
right by Scissors, Fismes and
Rheims. The Germans would be
caught in the v shape wedge with
the allies on the east, west and south
and also in the middle within the in
verted v.
Further Retreat Seems Inevitable.
The Germans would thus be caught
in two traps.
To avert this development Won Hin.
denburg must order retreat along
the entire southern front if the
American forces continue their move
ments towards Fismes.
Counter offensives by Field Mar.
shall Hindenburg at this time would
be useless until they were eoncen.
trated against the American apex
along the Fismes railroad.
This is why Won Hindenburg is
struggling savagely with the Ameri-
can divisions. 1t is the Americans
who are driving him at bay

Americans Hold the Battle Scared
Village of Serey and Are Advanc-
ing Slowly. Huns Lay Many
Traps for Americans.
(By Fred S. Ferguson)

With the American Armies in
France, July 31.-The stiff resistance
the Germans are now putting up indi-
cafes that a strong line has been es-
tablished and they are making bitter
efforts to prevent the allies from break
ing through, but prisoners insist that
the enemy will make their most des-
perate stand between Rheims and
scissors, on a line through Fismes.
The orderly German retreat toward
Fismes is still in progress screened by
a heavy rear guard action along the
lines from Vile Monitor through Par
Cy Et-Tigny, Grand-Rozoy and Fere-en-
Tardenois, eastward beyond Seringes
and Sergy and on to Roncheres.
Americans Hold Onto Sergy.
The American forces hold Sergy and
Hill 212 near by. They also have
stCrmed and hold Meurey farm.
The battle is constantly becoming
tercer. In bitter hand-to-hand conflicts
the American infantry was at grips
with the enemy all day yesterday.
The German artillery is working
with their infantry for the first time
since the German retreat started
American artillery is superbIy backing
up the infantry.
American Guns Effective.
Remnants of the Fourth Prussian
guard continues to oppose the Amert-
can advance in the region of Sergy.
Fighting there, our troops charged ov-
err the crest of hill and stormed the
German massed forces and positions
on the slopes.
The American batteries sent out an
embargo just ahead of the columns
ard then swept on through the enemy
positions despite the vigorous resist
abce clearing out machine gun nests
as they advanced.
Many Traps for Americans.
In their retirement the Boches left
Icany traps for the Americans. In 9th

The Ourcq river and the roads leading

The expectation that the United States
