 ARE REMAINING
 IN CITY OF VENICE

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN ITALY, Jan. .25.-Before the men ace of the modern Hun, Venice, whose lagoons centuries ago fur nished an asylum of safety for refugees fleeing from Attila. is to- day almost emptied. Of the l5o,- 900 persons who ordinarily inhabit the city. only about 1000 remain. But this is not because Venice fears for her own protection.
 Across the battiefields of the reeds 1t is believed that no in- vader will penetrate to the islands of the venitian lagoons. The city puts her trust in the lagoons as confidently as she trusted to the sea in olden times.

With the French Army in France,
July 26.-(Morning. 1.-The entire Ger
man position within the Marine salient
is such that it may fall at any instant
as the result OF some sharp forward
movement by the allies affecting a
vital part 1t is for this reason that
the German commanders have Or
dered their men to hold on at all costs
while defensive position is prepared
upon which the German armies can
fall back.
Day after day the allies, now the
French. now the Americans, and now
the British, are encroaching upon the
triangular salient, at some places,
making deep dents In the enemy posi-
tons and at others progressing more
slowely.
Every line of communication within
the German salient is under lombard
ment night and day, either from the
allied artillery or airplanes.
1t is only with the greatest difficulty
and with heavy sacrifices that the
enemy is able to hold on within this
area.
All the while his men are suffering
terrible privations, owing to the I'M
certainty of obtaining supplies. In
consequence OF the allies commanding
virtually every road and every path,
the fatigued German units cannot be
tried.

HALF MILLION FOE
TRAPPED IN POCKET

New York, July 25.-tAssociated
Press War Summary. General Foch
has taken leaf out of the book OF
German military strategy and or
dained the use by the allied armies of
the pincher system of offensive in the
Soissons-Rheims salient.
Both jaws of the pincher are moving
smoothly, with the pivot along the
Marine working in unison, and the pro
cess of attempting to capture many
of the nearly half million Germans
in the big pocket is well on the way
to what at present seems like possible
success.
The Germans, however, evidently do
not intend TO permit themselves to be
entrapped without fighting. Havin
thrown thousands of reinforcement
into the already congested SALEM
they have started a counter attack o.
great violence all along the semi
circular front from the Ourcq rive
to the region Immediately southwest
of Rheims, and their men are said tu
have orders to stem the allied tide OF
advance at all costs.
Nevertheless at last accounts the
Americans, French, British and Italian
troops, themselves well reinforced tt
meet the new turn in affairs, wert
steadily pressing forward at nearly all
points on the battle line to Rheims
while east of the cathdral city Polist
contingent-th first of the Poles tC
enter the combat-is declared to have
carried QUIT successfully an ente
rise against the enemy in which more
han 200 Germans were made prisoner
