Magnificent Audacity"
of Massachusetts, Troops
Sweeps Back the Enemy
BY lAssocintcd Press

Washington, July 29.-High trib-
ute to the military skill and mag
nificent audacity" of an American
division, probably the 26th (New
England as it is described as be-
ing composed largely of Massachu-
setts troops, is paid in an official re-
port from the commander of the
French army to which the Americans
are attached. An abstract of the
report received here to-day shows
that from July Is to 25 in the re-
gion north of Chateau Thierry this
division had advanced TT kilomet-
ers, fighting day and night with a
zeal that had to be restrained al
times.
"On July 90" the report said,
''in order to free Monthieres and the
Petret wood. still strongly occupied
by the Germans, severe combats
were delivered by the French troops
on the left In order to relieve them
the Americans on the evening of the
twentieth delivered a flanking move
ment which fully succeeded. With
magnificent audacity they rushed
forward with a single bound, up to
the level of Etrepilly. the Gonettrie
farm and Laval-Mardier. g
1T was a most sudden attack,
which disclosed all the American
fearlessness. In spite of the severe
barrage and machine gun emplace-
ments in which the enemy wore
sheltered, two kilometers were gain
ed. They also captured three can
non, large type minewerser and
machine guns. Besides 200 prisoners
fell into the hands of the Americans.
Il could not have done better
under the circumstances with the
best troops declared General De
Goutte, on hearing of the fine sue
cess of our allies.
The Germans then found them
selves in such a precious position mt
Monthieres that they had to begin to
retreat"

GERMAN LOSS IN
DEAD IS HEAVIER
THAN IN CAPTIVES
ALLIES Use Caution in Exter-
minating Machine Gun Nests
Left to Guard the Rear

Paris, July 29.-Under the irresis-
tible pressure of the allied troops the
enemy's retreat continued yesterday,
according to the Havas correspon-
dent at the front. The average ad-
vance of the allies during the day
was from three to five kilometers.
1t is as yet impossible to determine
the limit of the retreat but it is
probable that it will stop on the
wooded heights along the Vesle
river
On the left of the allied line the
Germans made great efforts to hold
up the army under General Degoutte,
blowing up bridges and foot bridges
to Fere-en-Tardenois and contending
for territory foot by foot.
Allies Hold Position
The enemy's stubbornness was
useless and the allied troops entered
the town by the west and south and
are holding their positions.
Farther toward Rheims the allies
continued to advance toward Vile
rn-Tardenois, into which their van
guards probably now have been
penetrated.
It is explained that the small Mum
Der of German prisoners taken is
due to the fact that the allies have
advanced with extreme caution and
the Germans left only small forces
to cover their retreat. These forces
were given orders to hold on to the
last so that the main body might
withdraw. Thus the enemy's losses
relatively are heavier in dead than
in prisoners. On the other hand
the Germans left considerable booty
munitions depots and a number OF
cannon which they dismantled be-
fore abandoning.

London, July 29.-The Ger
man retreat is continuing along
the whole line, the allies closely
in pursuit, according to news
from the fighting area in the
Soissons-Rheims salient received
up to noon.
The Germans have succeeded
in checking to a certain extent
but not in stopping the French
advance.
French Take Road
The French are on the north
bank of the Ourcq and to the
east they have secured the whole
road between Rheims and Dor
mans. The Germans are stub
borniy resisting, and are burning
villages.
Heavy fighting still is in pro-
gress to the south of scissors,
in the neighborhood of Buzancy.
So far the French have made no
progress there. Villages be-
tween scissors and Bazoches,
alb out IA miles to the east, how
ever, are on fire, leading to the
belief that the Germans may in
tend a further retreat.
Advance Three Miles
Since yesterday the allies have
advanced two and three miles
on a twenty-mile front.
The enemy has definitely aban-
doned the line of the Ourcq and
there is little doubt now that he will
go back beyond the Vesle to the
line thirty miles long between Sois-
sons and Rheims, which probably is
well entrenched and has good lines
of communication.
Retreat Is Orderly
The German retirement has been
quite orderly and deliberate. So far
the taking CT only four guns has
been reported.
The Americans, particularly in
the Fere- -Tardenois sector. are
pressing the Germans very vigor-
ously.
