Foe Fleeing

Retreat Continues With In.

Dominate the Ailette
4By The Associated Pxe,sA

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE Aug. 22.-(A fternoon) =
The retreat of the Germans before botb
the Third and Tenth French armies
continues to-day with increased speed
over large part of the battle front
and in some cases in disorder.
General Mangin's men are approach-
ing the Coucy Forest, and are nearly on
the line held in April along the river
Allette They have also widened their
hold on the Disc to Bretigny, midway
between Noyon and Chauny.
Ihe French advance toward the roads
leading to Chauny adds another men.
ace to the Germans line of retirement
and explains the acceleration of the on
emy's retreat. Bourguignon, St. Paul
Aux-Bois and Quierzy fell into the
hands OF the French to-day, giving them
command of the valley of the Ailette
from the region Of Coucy- le- Chateau to
the Disc.
General Humbert's troops also are
pressing the enemy vigorously. Having
occupied the height of Plemont. lust
south of Lassigny, which thew sur
rounded yesterday, they have captured
Ihiescourt, which completes the con.
quest of the group of hills known as the
Ihiescourt Massif. The enemy now has
but precarious mold on the valley os
the Divette River, in which French cav.
airy is now operating.
Several thousand prisoners have
been taken since Wednesday evening
and trophies in such great quantities
That 1t has been impossible thus far to
count them also have been captured.
General Mangin's troops advanced
seven miles during the night, and this
morning were rushing the enemy's rear
guard so energetically that the retir-
ing columns were thrown into con-
fusion.
SO hot on their heels was the
French advance guard that the Ger
mans had no time to DESTROY the
bridges behind them over the Disc
Some of these were found intact.
Others only partly destroyed.
While the German rearguard was
making last stand to protect the
crossing of the stream, long lines Of
wagon trains could be seen across the
river encumbering the roads leading to
the north.

WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-Vice Con-

he had been informed on that day by
the Bolsheviki that a state of war cx-
listed between Russia and the United

was Immediately lowered by the Amer
lean Vice Consul, who at the same time
turned the affairs of the United States

Norwegian Consulate. He also notified
Anne ericans to leave Russia.
ViceConsul lmbrie reported that
there were in Pctrograd on August 9
twenty American citizens, one of whom
was under arrest and another in hid
ing For ten days previous to August
2, he reported, Americans had been sub
jected to persecution, their homes had
been entered and their property de-
stroyed without any pretcxt whatever
State Department officials were in

transmitted by Vice Consul Imbric
was coincident, or nearly so, with the
visit Of Allied and American officials

statements made by Premier Lenne
before the Soviet that Russia was in
state of war with the Allies, and
that the action taken by the Roshevik
authorities at Pctrograd was in conse-
quence Of Lennc's declarations.
1t is not believed there has been a
formal declaration Of war against the
