e. o. S. London, July 29.-The
German retreat is continuing along
the whole line with the allies in pur-
suit according to the news from the
Rheims salient up to, noon today.
The Germans have succeeded in
checking to a certain extent the
drive of the allies but have not stop
ped the French advance. The French
on the north bank of the Ourcq and
to the east of Scissors have control
of the road between Rheims and Dor
amns. The Germans are stubbornly
resisting, !. and are burning villages
in their retreat. Heavy fighting is in
progress to the south of Scissors in
the neighborhood Buzany. So far the
French have made nofurther prog
ress here. The villages between Sois-
sons and Voches and about IA miles
to the east of Rheims are on fire
which leads to the belief that the
Germans intend tomake further re-
treat.
Since yesterday the allies have ad-
vapced about two or three miles on
a twenty mile front. The enemy has
definitely abandoned the line along
the Odrcq and there isslittle doubt
they will go back to the Kssle river
line about 80 miles between Sbfssons
and Rheims which is strongly in
trenched and has good lines OF COM
munication.

eaucourt and to give listless battle on
isolated sectors TO the south.

numerous towns, taken large numbers
of prisoners and great quantities of

Senator Thompson of Kansas Says
British Grand Fleet Is Eighty
Miles Long.

Washington, Sept. 20. 49, Senator
Thompson of Kansas, recently re-
turned from trip abroad, told the
senate that the submarine, while still
an annoyance and hindrance, is no
longer serious menace. There is,
the senator said, positive knowledge
that one-half of Germany's submarine
fleet, which has never been more than
800 boats, has been destroyed or cap
tured by the Allies.
1T is to the navy that this credit
for the destruction of these outlaw
seagoing craft is due" declared he.
"The navy is and has been the back
bone of this war, the same as 1t has
been of almost every great war In
history. The destroyer is the ship
which has brought Germany to her
knees iii submarine warfare and will
keep her here"
Ships are now operating across the
English channel with about tho same
ease and security as; before the war,
Senator Thompson said. He suggested
that the menace on the Atlantic would
be lessened by placing German prison
ers on returning transports.
Senator Thompson told of visiting
the British grand fleet.
Sailing single file," he said, with
out counting the numerous destroyers,
submarines, submarine chasers and
other smaller craft it is said to be
about 80 miles in length and requires
hours going at ordinary speed to pass
in review. With such fleet no one
ever need worry about the German
navy doing any great damage"
