London, Aug. 6.-Weakened by the
defeat suffered on the Scissors.
Rheims front. the Germans apparently
are preparing to assume the defensive
on the front from Ypres to Rheims.
Southeast Of Amiens on the old
Montdidier sector the Germans have
fallen back across the Avre river over
. wide front, while northeast of
Amiens. in the region of Albert, q
similar retrograde movement has been
made across the Ancre. The German

terference by the British.
Yanks Take Fismss by Storm.
Between Scissors and Rheims the
Vesle virtually has been cleared of
enemy troops and Fismes Is in the
hands Of the Americans, having been
carried by storm. Fismes was Ger.
many's great ammunition and supply
depot, midway on the railway between
Scissons and Rheims.
French Gross Aisns.
West Of Rheims the French have
made important gains and in the re.
zion Of soissons the French are north
Of the Aisne. The enemy resistance
apparently has been growing stronger
from Fismes east to Rheims. How
ever. the Vesle is in flood and ~ large
swamps line its course west of Rheims
It is possible the resistance may be
due to the inability of the Germans
TO move to the north bank.
Allied troops, having fattened out
the Marine pocket. have not advanced
SO rapidly during the last 48 hours.
The leading units keep in close touch
with the Germans, but 1t is probable
that heavy artillery will have to be
brought up II the Germans persist in
trying to hold at various points along
the Vesle.
Further German Retreat Seen.
There is little doubt in Allied CAPT.
tails that the German crown prince
will retire to the north of the Aisne.
His resistance to French pressure In
the Rheims region not unlikely is for
'he purpose Of holding the Allies from
breaking through and also to prevent
them from getting between the Vesle
and the Aisne before he can get his
troops to the northern stream.
Foe Abandons Two Rivers.
British troops now hold Hamel and
Dernacourt on the west bank Of the
Ancre and the Germans are to the east
Of the river. At Albert, where the
Ancre divides the town, the situation
is not clear.
From Mesnil st. Georges. west Of
Montdtdier, to Braches, the Germans
are retiring across the Avre. Their
retrOgrade movement already has av.
eraged two miles on a seven mile
front. The French hold Breaches. They
have penetrated into Hargicourt and
are on the outskirts of Courtemarche.
