Americans Cross
Ourcq; axe 3 To.uns,
Pershing Reports

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The cross
ing of the Ourcq and the capture of
three towns by the American forces
in their continued pursuit of the enemy
north of the Marne were reported IN
General Pershing's comminique for
Yesterday, received to-day at the War
! Department.
The statement follows:
! "Section A-North of the Marne our
troops continue the pursuit of the en-
envy. In spite of his determined ef-
forts to delay their progress by rear
guard actions, they have crossed the
Ourcq and have taken the towns of
Seringes- et-Nesles, Sergy and Rom
cheres."
Telling of the work of the American
division on July %, when it took the
woods north of Epieds. the report says:
"The Germans furiously opposed this
attempt and counter attacked with
great energy, but they learned to their
cost the meaning of American
tenacity. Impeded the first time in
their manpuvre. the Americans took
the outskirts of the forest OF Fere, and
went straight into it and seized whole
company of German prisoners and con-
tinued their advance with such fury
that toward p. m. they had reached
the outskirts of the forest of Ferc, and
the same evening they had gagincd the
Fcre- en-T Tardenois to Jaulgonne road.
"Thus the American division had in
six days realized at certain points a
flg %or- Of ! 1Or 1of 90
in depth, fighting day and night with
out respite and giving proof of the
finest military virtues. All their COM
munications were carried out with per-
feet regularity on the right and left, as
we'll as in the interior of the division
itself. Discipline which filled the Ger
mans with surprise and admiration
animated the attacking sections. They
marched with officers at the side and
with closed ranks, exactly like French
units.
"The enemy prisoners could not get
over it, we scarcely see those who
the Americans, You are lucky. You
are like the French who have always
got their officers in front of them to
lead them in battle.'"
The report says the same good har-
mony is shown between the French and
American High Command and that the
American division commander during
the operations described never spared
himself, but with broad views, precise
orders and a practical mind, treated
the problems that presented them
selves with mastery of the situation
that cost the enemy dear.
"The days of July 18th to the 25th.'
the report concludes. "offer fresh
striking proof of what the entente of
the United States and France can do

result of shelling, the correspondent
points out, as those houses which sui
fe,ed most were entirely uninjured by
shell, shrapnel or bullet.
"These houses" he says, were mag
n,ficently furnished, the wall hung
with costly tapestries and admirable
pictures. 'Thc furniture was OF eXcep-
tional elegance, and impressive mirrors
and charming statuettcs were nnmer-
Gus.
To-day there Is nothing that has not
been destroyed. The tapestries have
been hacked to p.eces, the pictures slit
from corner to corner. the leather and
other chair coverings have been ripped
from their frames ard afl the delicate
marqueterie anil the irrep aceable ex-
amples of craftsmanship of past CEN
turies have been smashed. The legs
have kaen torn off tables and used
in further work of destruction. There
is not a mirror which has not been
broken, and the glass and china hung
at them lie in fragments before them.
"The costly carpets have been solled
and rent in every possible way and INK
pots flung at the silken papers on the
walls This vengeful fury has been
carried even to the extent of smashing
nurseries and dolls houses. The fashion
in which beds and rooms have been de
filed is difficult of description. 1T

the initiative which Foch so sudden

the initiative which Foch so sudden
ly snatched out of his hands.
After this retreat is over the Ger
mans must prepare either to attack
again or to meet an attack from
Foch in another quarter. They are
occupying one big exposed salient in
the Somme region and two smaller
salients--the first in the Lys Valley
and the second on the west bank of
the Disc below Lassigny. They can
not we'll afford to maintain a fourth
exposed salient between the Aisne
and the Vesle, or below the Vesle, if
they are to remain on the defensive.
And even if they organize another
attack, there would be advantages
in drawing back Won Boehm's bat
tered armies beyond the Aisne into
positions where the communications
with the Flanders front, the Somme
front and the Lassigny front would
be more direct and ampler.
The present retreat is not an iso-
lated operation, to be taken as such
IN measuring its results. 1t links up
with the campaign to come, and the
extent to which it is continued may
throw some light on the German
strategy for the rest of 1918, as
modified under the stress of Who'll
ly unexpected disaster.
The extent of the retreat, whose
first real halting place will probably
be the Vesle, will also affect Foch's
plans. Will he retain the offensive
or will he go back for brief period
to his policy of parrying and wait
ing? The offensive is an enormous
asset, and a commander of Foch's
combative spirit will be reluctant to
surrender it.
His first offensive of 1918 has
been one of the great successes of
the war. 1t was the turning point
for the Allies after many reverses.
Ludendorff's retreat is now practi-
cally a closed operation, SO far as
tactical results are concerned. What
we shall see in the next week or ten
days will be moral contest between
nm and Foch--a test of wits and
resolution. What must be decided
now is with whom is to rest the i'm
mense advantage of the offensive.

The eastern wing of the front was

the moment TO hold his line stretching
from Ville-en-T -Tardenois to the Ourcq.

Tardenois, but the Allies are keeping
in constant touch with him here.
Cohette Wood, further south, has
been occupied by the Allies, who
captured two field guns, two S-lnch
cannon and much ammunition there.
The forward pressure Of the Allies
was continued uninterruptedly through
out Sunday. On Saturday the progress
of the Allied forces was extremely
rapid, with slight opposition from the
retreatipg enemy, but yesterday the
Germans everywhere demonstrated that
their power of determined resistance
was still very strong.
In the streets of Percent Tardcnois
there was very severe hand to hand
fighting, but the Allies eventually OBJ

enemy threw great quantities Of gas
shells, the fumes of which remained
for long time among the woods.

New-York tribune., 1918-07-30

the former Soissons-Rheims
salient is now past the mid
way stage. There isn't much left
of the salient. Ludendorf's armies
are we'll on their way to a line of
safety drawn east and west tbove
Fere-en- -Tardenois and Ville-en- Tar
denois.
For the Germans, the saving
feature of the situation has been
that their two hanks have always
held firmly above this Inc. On the
Soissons side the Franco American
drive was stopped along the high
road from scissors down to Oulchy
le Chateau. After the first two days
Allied progress there was measured
only in yards. Similarly, on the
Rheims side, down to the Ardre
River, the advance made hardly
more than recovered the ground
yielded in the first two days of the
German offensive for Epernay and
ChalOns.
1t was therefore practicable for
Ludendorff to give way gradually in
the lower half of the salient without
running any serious risk of envelop-
ment The bulk of his forces were
on the east side of the quadrangle,
massed for a push up the Marne
Valley. His west line was mere
holding line. 1t was driven back,
punctured at points and badly pun
ished by Foch's surprise counter Of
fensive. But it performed it's task.
Oulchy-le-C Chateau and Fere-en-Tar-
denois were not evacuated until the
smaller German forces in the south
west corner of the quadrilateral
were ready to cross the Ourcq and
the larger German forces in the
southeast corner were clear of the
Marine Valley and concentrated in
the clearway west of Ville-en-Tar-
denoiis.
There is only one little German
pocket now left in the lower half of
the old salient. That is in the for
est lying between the sources Of the
Ourcq and the valley of the Sc
moigne. The Germans here are out
fanked on the west by the American
advance across the upper Ourcq to
Sergy and outhanked on the east
by the French advance to Villers-
Agron, on the Semoigne. But the

Allies Capture
Acres of Shells
In Fere Forests
(Bu The Associated Press)


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE AISNE- MARINE FRONT, July 90
Tremendous stores of German am
muntion have been found by the
Franco American troops in the forests
Of Fere and Riz. These were intended
by the enemy for use on the great
drive upon Epernay.
The forests and surrounding country
north of the Marne were virtually one
great arsenal of German ammunition
CT all kinds, big gun shells being par
ticularly numerous. At places on the
edges of the woods there were large
shells stacked like cordwood over large
areas.
Thousands of these shells were in
tended for the German 210-millimetre
guns, only few Of which have been
captured. The Americans assume that
the Germans withdrew many of these
guns and that others intended for the
great drive had not yet arrived when
the Allied offensive began.
ALI through the forests the Ameri-
cans came upon ammunition depots, at
some places more than an acre OF
ground Icing covered with smells of
all caltbres. Some of the smaller
shells were labelled "for Immediate
use" Along the roads everywhere, and
even in the open places. the shells were
camoufaged with limbs of trees
From the roadways skirtng the for
ests in every patch of wood shells were
visible. Some Of the depots were de-
voted entirely to big shells and other
exclusively to projectiles of small
sizes, including gas shells, high ex-
plosive projectiles and cartridges for
machine guns and rifles From the
roadways near the forests edges
mile after mile Of cases of rife car
trdges were seen winding in and out
and following the tree lines like fences.
The Allies are planning systema-
tized assembly of the shells for use

Germans Again Shoav
Ability as Vandals
At Chateau Thierry

LONDON, July Evidence accumu-
lates that during their brief stay in
the Marne salient the Germans have
been again indulging in wholesale acts
of vandalism. In a message sent from
French Army Headquarters, Reuters
correspondent gives details of their
conduct while In possession of Chateau
Thierry.
The Germans were in the town for
some time and apparently thought thew
would remain there indefinitely. When
they found they would have to give it
up, they apparently determined to take
the only vengeance in their power. The
injuries which have been inflicted on
the town are such as could not be the

empticd.
The Allied pursuit is being
pushed vigorously. 1t is only a
rearguard pursuit. But every day
French territory is being redeemed
and the German menace to Paris is
being diminished. There has been
so far no stabiization Of the Foch
offensive, similar to the stabiliza-
tions which occurred after the first
rush of each of the five German Of.
fensives. The German retreat has
not ended, and there is no good
strategic reason why it should end
for several days to come.
The same urgency which impelled
Ludendorff to draw out Of the
Marine pocket still holds. He must
bring his armies back to a line on
which they can be regrouped and re-
organized for future operations.
And that line must be one which
fits in with his general plan of Of
fence, if he still expects to recover
