the northern bank of the River ourcQ
and captured Fere-en.Tardenois, the
great German base of supplies.
The retreat of the crown princes
forces along the whole Marne front has
reached more precipitate phase. At
some places the Germans have fallen
back for distance of several miles.
French and American troops are harry.
ing the retiring forces in the center,
while French end British troops are
hammering at both flanks.
Cavalry and tanks In considerable
numbers have succeeded in getting in
among the retiring Germans, while
airplanes are bombardlng their col.
umns.
The incessant smashing blows left
the enemy nothing to do but retreat or
die. Even their sudden retirement has
not relieved the constant marrying.
In addition to the slashing of cav.
airy and the pounding of the tanks,
the lives of the German rear-guards
are being made precarious by infantry
patrols. Ever since the commence

have been breaking up the enemy front
line and preparing the way for In.
