in the fighting that is going on be-
tween Scissor and Chateau Thiery
The advancing allied forces have
passed great piles of dead and many
wounded. These sufferers are cared
for eXpeditiously.
Among the prisoners captured were
a German colonel and his staff. They
mad taken refuge in a quarry and re-
fused to obey summons to come out.
After efforts to induce them to sur
render appeared to be wasted. hand
grenades were dropped down a Chin
Eey leading into the quarry. Those

emerged.
In the long lines of prisoners along
the roads there are many expressing
beWldcrment. But hare and there
some of them smile when asked: Go

Foch Given Full Credit
Until late today there was little ef-
fort to bring pressure against other
parts of the enemy line. Full credit
is given the plan of General Foch,
which already has netted magnificent
results and which promises to convert
the ambitious plans of the Germans
into a fiasco.
The number of prisoners is being
increased from these, it is learned. and
the characterization of the German ar
my is greater than suspected. Those
taken by one American unit alone rep
resent seventeen divisions. One lot of
80 captives contained men belonging
to five different divisions. This fact
and the stories of the prisoners indi-
cate that the Germans have much lost
| in organization.
The German retreat across the
Marne began on Friday under cover of
a great smoke screen. At last ac-
counts great hordes of Germans were
continuing north. Organized resist
ance has been met with so far only at
a few places.
Clear Germans Out
| The district south of the Marne and
east of Chateau Thierry is entirely
cleared of Germans. Two badly cut up
regiments were left south of the Marne
in the German retreat. Allied aviators
bombed the bridges across the river
and their escape was impossible.
All Saturday night the allies ham,
mered away at the widening wedge
between the Germans and Paris as the
Germans withdrew north of the Marne
