WASHINGTON, July 27.-Coincident

German War Critic Says
Decision Is Mandatory

A MSTERDAM, July 27.-Ex-
pressing the view that the
present battle between the Aisne
and the Marine rivers must end
in a preliminary decision. the
military critic of the Vossische
Zeitung of Berlin says:
"It cannot be to our interest
to allow the war to drag on into
the years 1919 and 1920 as the
British above all desire because
they hope by then that American
millions will have reached Europe
and that Americans by force of
numbers will be able to achieve
a break through.
"An American danger is fac
ing US, but at the decisive mo-
ment an attack by our reserves
will bring victory"

BY the associated Press.

GENEVA, July 27.--"Ask
Pershing, cable Wilson,"
These are some of the answers
given by American prisoners to
German officers who question
them on naval and military mat
ters.
The German officers are furious
at the American prisoners for
their refusal to divulge any in
formation whatever, and the
coldly sarcastic manner in which
the men almost invariably reply
to those seeking information.
The majority of the Ameri-
cans taken prisoner by the Ger
mans are quartered in the Rhine
cities of Darmstadt, Karlsruhe
and Giessen, according to ad-
vices reaching the American
branch of the international Red
Cross here.
Allied airmen who bomb these
cities are cheered by the Ameri-
cans, the advices state.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTH
OF THE MARINE. July 81. The next
twenty-four hours should reveal
whether the Germans intend to try to
make a permanent stand along the
Ourcq River, mean Fere-en-Tardenois,
or merely to hold that position with
rear guards bristling with machine
guns until the main body is able to get
further away toward the Aisne.
The progress Of the Franco-Ameri-
can troops to the Beuvardez-Le Char
ing Of the Forest of Fere, places them
close to the river, toward which they
are working through the valleys Of its
little tributaries and the clumps Of
woods separating them.
This Is n peculiarly difficult fighting
country, lending itself to the use Of
machine guns, with which the Ger
mans seem to be provided in the ap-
proximate ratio of one gun to every
six infantrymen. We know of old the
deadliness Of machine guns in the
woods: from the woods also they en-
filade troops advancing up the valleys
between. so we are becoming more
cautious and are letting the artillery
pound the pest while the infantry
creep around them and try to drop
grenades among their nests
House to House Fighting.
A good illustration OF what kind OF
fighting our men are doing as they
work forward to the Ourcq is the
house TO house fight for lie Charmed
that began yesterday morning and
ended last night with lie Charmed ours,
although the Boche still is holding out
in the chateau and is being pounded
there by our artillery.
Our troops who did the Job included
some OF the men from the Somme, who
were the first Americans to enter Cha
teau Thierry. They advanced In little
groups up the valley of a stream called
the Argentor that runs into the Marine
at Jaulgonne with the first light or dawn
on their right was the forest OF Ris
and on their left the forest OF Fere,
where other squads lodged from thicket
to thicket bombing the machine guns
still remaining there.
When they reached the turn in the
road to Fere-en-Tardenois there came
angry bursts of fire from a little group
OF houses and also a crossfire from the
Chateau, so they flung themselves fiat
In the long grass and bushes and waited
a short time for our own machine guns
TO come up. In the meantime they
posted a few snipers, whose rifles soon
began TO make things hot for the ma
chine gun crews.
Use bombs and Bayonets.
lie Charmed is a struggling place with
many isolated houses south OF and lead
ing up to the centre OF the town. which
is marked by church tower. Our offi-
GERS quickly decided that the only way
to take It was by house to house fight
ing, so at whistle blast our men ducked
forward into the first houses covered
by the fire OF our machine guns until
they got practically into them: then
II was a case for bombs and bayonet.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE.
July 27.-The progress made by the
Franco American troops on the Aisne-
Marne front is considered eminently
satisfactory by the commanders, and
the failure OF the Germans to employ ar
tillery extensively has tended to con-
Arm the belief that the enemy's heavy
guns on the greater part Of the field
have been moved far back, perhaps to
position which may mark new line.
The French and Americans have con-
tinued their rapid advance to the north
east. and the forest Of Fere was cleared
of the enemy this afternoon. The allied
forces are losing contact with the Ger
mans.
While steady pressure is being main
tained on the arc forming the bottom OF
the sack. the Allies are vigorously ham
merng the fanks where Gems, Won
Boehm and Won Eben have concentrated
their armies in the nope that they can
hold out until the main body OF the
Germans can be withdrawn with a mini
mum loss.
