WATCH GERMAN RETREAT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-With the
city of scissors in the hands of the
French, official speculation today turn
ed toward the extent of the German
withdrawal from the Aisne- Marine sal
lent. The retreat of the enemy, re-
ported in the official communicates of
the French war office and from Gen
eral Pershing, it is believed will not
stop until the Vesle river is reached.
In the minds of many officers there
was doubt as to whether the enemy
Will be able to make a stand on the
Vesle or whether the onrush of the
British, American and French troops
will not carry them across the Vesle
and within a few days force the Ger
mans to withdraw to the heights of
the Marine.
The great value of the operations of
the last few days in establishing a
precedent Of victory for the allies on
the western front, was reiterated by
officials today and was expected to be
commented upon Ivy General March,
chief of staff, in, his talk today with
newspaper correspondents. General
Foch today held the initiative and it
had been demonstrated that the best
troops Of the German high command
is able to throw into the fray are of
insufficient fighting strength to stop
the progress of the combined French,
American and British forces. In the
view of many here, it will not be long
until General Foch will show further
steps in his war plan by the starting
of an offensive on other sectors of the
front The Flanders salient on the
northern front, may become the scene
of allied offensive operations at any
time as it is known that a great con-
centration of British troops there has
been effected
