The Germans treated this wounded

wounded in the German lines. They
cursed him and then placed him, with
cut any protection, in front Of their
lines where the Allied shells, they
thought, would surely strike him.
"Feigning death, he escaped when
the enemy retreated. He was brought
here in critical condition as the re-

Ills leg was amputated to-day. He had

The Germans made little effort to

Foe Left With
OnlyOneRoad
Trap
Gen. March Explains How
Foch Has Made Germans
Plight Desperate
{ By The Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, July 24.-Massed
German reserves are holding open the
jaws of the trap General Foch has
sprung in the Aisne- Marine region in
e desperate effort to stabilize their
lines without the crushing of the forces
withdrawing from the Chateau-T -Thierry
and Marine salients. Official reports to
the War Department, however, show
that the enemy has only a single rail-
way line remaining in his hands over
which to get his heavy material out Of
the pocket into which he has been
forced by Allied and American ad-
vances.
This situation was graphically ex-
planned to-day by General March, Chief
of Staff, in midweek conference with
newspaper correspondents.
For the last two days, General March
said. the employment of probably fif-
teen divisions of fresh German reserves
on the Soissons jaw of the trap has
pra :tically steadied the line there. On
the eastern jaw however, the enemy
has been crushed back more than a
mile and half on ten-mile front,
further imperilling his whole position
in the salient from which he is en-
deavoring to extricate his troops.
Only One Road Left
"The railroad running from scissors
to Chateau Therry is now either in
our hands or under our fire." General
March said, indicating the fronts on his
war maps. "The only way in which the
enemy can get out now or get supplies
over railroad is by the remaining
line from Nanteuil, on the Ourq to
Bazochec, on the River Vesle.
ut was necessary for him, if he did
not intend to be caught absolutely in
a pocket, to keep troops from advanc-
ing and cutting off this road, which
would put him entirely at the mercy
of the Allied forces"
General March did not indicate what
development the continued battle all
along the front of the greatly reduced
German salient might be expected to
produce. Among other officers, how
ever. the opinion prevailed that General
Foch was rushing forward masses of
heavy artillery which with arplanes
would pound the interior of the Ger
man positions from three sides.
Lacking railway lines on which to
maneuvre, the enemy probably is max
ing desperate efforts to get his biggest
guns away safely. The attacking lines
are backed by circling railways on
which long range weapons on railway
mounts can be shuttled back and forth
at will
