AFIELD, Aug. 2.-The bat
tie within the Marne pocket
which waxed more violent
yesterday morning is still
raging at 8 o'clock this after
noon. The loss of the im-
portant Grand Roz0y height
is forcing the enemy to fall
back with the Franco-Brit-
ish hotly pursuing. After
fierce combats the allies oc-
cupied Hartness-et-T -Taux,
seven miles south of Sois-
sons, and Coutremin, Sapo-
nay and other villages and
woods.
South of Ourcq the ene-
my's resistance is becoming
feebler. The Franco-Amer-
leans have captured the
woods north of the Cousan-
court Coulonges road. On
the eastern portion of the
battlefield the French have
arrived at the outskirts of
Villers-Agron, capturing
Frozy and the wood a mile
east of Romigny with a hill
and small wood northeast of
Romigny.
