WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
|AFIELD. Aug. (1:00 A. Nj
French troops now hold the wrecked
city of Scissors. General Mangin's
poilus swept down the slope of Mon
tagne-de-Paris last night and drove
the Germans out of the place. Then
they resisted the enemy rebound
from the hills of the other side.
The attack on the city followed a
bombardment which, after the days
fighting, permitted the French to oc-
cupy the place firmly. The capture
of Scissors. however. was only an in
cident in the advance which struck
around the whole length of the rapid
ly Strengthening salient
The boches fell back from one to
two miles everywhere while French
cavalry at several points penetrated
q mile further. Pelsier and Hanar-
tehnes Wood, where Prussian guards
made the ~stiffest resistance of any of
the enemy forces, are now virtually
encircled.
A remarkable feature Of the fight
ing is the ann in which the artil-
lery is being pushed forward with the
infantry in spite of the bad state OF
the roads. The Germans, under or
ders, are p~illaging and burning as
they retreat. In some instances viii
lagos are a1re, lighting the northern
sky lines and low hanging clouds
with a sinister effect. The Germans
are Enthusiastically withdrawing from
the whole pocket. Their generals are
skillfully extricating them from the
hottest hole into which any crown
prince ever ordered an obedient army
with or without fathers blessing.
The German line Is giving steadily
at most points, the advancing troops
fighting only the murderous machine
guns which oppose them and permit
the withdrawal of vast numbers OF
enemy troops with which the Crown
Prince could have held the pocket in
definitely If 1t had been only a ques-
ton of manpower together with the
removal of great stores, including a
portion Of hastily harvested crops.
While there Is 40 doubt hat the
Germans immediate purpose is to get
out OF the pocket, there is considera-
BILE speculation as to whether they
propose to form a new line at he
Vesle or drop back to the Aisne or
whether they are preparing for a new
blow.
