HUNS RETREAT
TO TRENCHES
Must Be Blasted Out by ArtiI.
Iery Before Allies Can
Go Forward.
MORE PRISONERS TAKEN
Gigantic Stroke From British
North Present Battle Line.
Greater Stroke Coming.

Washington. July .0.-With Germans
throwing great masses OF reinforce
mcnts taken from their best reserves
into the battle line between the Aisne
and the Marne the Americana French
forward movement was continuing to-
day. Despite the violence OF the at
, tempted counter assaults of the enemy
the general forward movement has
continued, according to the latest re-
ports received here. Hundreds OF
prisoners and all sorts of war ma
terials are being sent TO the rear while
officers here today expressed the be-
lief that the serious pressure upon
Rheims has been very materially
slackened.
There w:ss q general feeling here to-
day that the end of the present often
sivc may soon be In sight The Ger
mans have been driven back at several
points TO their prepared entrenchments
and until these can be blasted out with
artillery. it will be impossible for the
infantry to attack them. However. II
was pointed out that there is increas-
ing evidence of activity among the

battle and further eastward in the
sections where the French and British
have been holding their positions in
actively. II is believed here, that an
other offensive may shortly be launched
in one or the other OF these sections.
All of the reports from the front
reaching here today emphasize the
wonderful effect that the series OF sue
cesses has had upon the morale OF the
American troops in France. They
were supremely confident when they
went into action. but they had cx-
pected that the famous shock troops of
the German army would put much
stiffer defense. Instead they have
been outclassed at every point and
this, too. In the case of various units
OF the famous Prussian guard who
were encountered in the first days
forces seriously troubled the Amer
leans, the accounts reaching here say.
Army officers WERE very careful
again today and emphasize the fact
that the present engagement is not the
supreme thrust which has been antici-
pated from the statement by Gen.
Foch. The present drive was under
taken to lift the danger from Paris and
to relieve the pressure upon Rheims,
where another pincher movement had
been started by tho Germans. Both
obJectives have now succeeded. What
Is TO follow Will depend on what the
war council finds when II
completes Its present survey of the sit |
uation.

WHAT WILL HUNS DO
ON RHEIMS FRONT?
Brilliant Counter Attack Of
Foch Has Deprived Enemy
of Initiative.

London. July 2O-what the Ger.
mans are going to do on the battle
front from Rheims to the Nfarne ia
the Aisne, is the question which oc.
cupies most Of the military and cdi.
torial commentators in the mornina
newspapers. While it is conceded that
Gen. Toch's brilliant counter stroke
has deprived the Germans of the in
itiative in the Rheims sector and
caused them serious damage, it is
not universally assumed that the posi-
tons in that area can be stabilized
without much severe fighting. Warm
ing. is given to remember how the
British surprise advance at Cambrai
was afterwards countered by the Ger
mans.
On the other hand the view that
the enemy cannot do much more be-
tween the Aisne and the Marne has
its representatives and those look for
the withdrawal of the Germans from
south of the Marne to reorganize their
line. A third speculation refers TO the
probability Of the enemy striking
fresh violent blow In some other direc-
tion in which case 1t Is assumed gen.
orally the attack will fall on the British
armies. II is recognized everywhere
that the Germans have the power to
concentrate strength for thrust that
will tax the allied defense to the ut
most. Notwithstanding their losses
the Germans are believed TO have at
their disposal at least forty divisions.
