Soissons Left in
Germans Hands for
Strategic Reasons

Paris, July 21.-The reason that
French and American troops have not
occupied Sessions is explained by
Major De Ciyireux, military critic Of
the Matin, who writes:
"The striking capture of Scissors
might seem at first sight to be, more
important, but to hold the city and
railway stations under our artillery
fire from the heights TO the east is
sufficient and it is the wisest policy,
as an exaggerated movement east
ward along the Aisne would expose
our left to a flank attack like that
against which the German crown
prince is struggling"

VICTORIES OF
ALLIED ARMS
MULTIPLYING
Germans Give Ground Along
60-Mi|e Front; Americans
Fighting With Spirit That
Brooks No Denial.
By Associated Press.

Victories for the allied arms are
multiplying. Over the' entire 60-mile
front, running from scissors to
Rheims, the allied troops are fighting
with determination that brooks no
denial. The Germans are giving
ground, though stubborn resistance is
being offered on some sectors.
Further indentations have been
made in the German line between
Soissons and Chateau Thierry by the
Americans and French. Practically
all the gains of the German drive
south of the Marne have been bletted
out.
Chateau Thierry, which represents
the point in the battle line where the
Germans had driven their wedge near
est to Paris, has been recaptured by
the French troops, and almost stimuli
taneously the village of Brasles, two
miles eastward, and the heights to the
north of the village fell into their
hands.

French troops, northwest of the city.
broke through the German lines and
at some points advanced more than
three miles. Large numbers of pris-
oners were taken. The allies ma
chine guns literally moved down the
Germans.
To the north along the Ourcq val
ley the French are making progress
toward the important junction town
NanteuilNotre Dame. while the op-
erations south and southeast of Sois-
sons are keeping time with those
along the other parts Of the front.
The entire southern bank of the
Marne having been cleared of enemy
forces, French, British and Italian
troops now are harassing those
southwest of Rheims, and they have
been forced to fall back in the Cour-
ton wood. the Ardre valley and near
St. Euphraise. The number of Brit
lsh operating with the allied forces
in this region is not known. The first
announcement that they were in the
action was made Saturday night, and
doubtless they represent portion of
the great reserves that everywhere
are being brought up along the battle
line in an endeavor to make secure
the victories already won and enlarge
them.
German Plight Hazardous.
With the capture of Chateau
Ihierry and the fast progress of the
French and Americans eastward from
the northern sectors, the plight of the
Germans in the southwestern portion
OF the Soissons-Rheims salient be-
comes increasingly hazardous. 1t is
not improbable when stock is taken

lend assistance, scouting the back
areas and harassing the retreating
Germans with their machine guns.
In none of the other theaters ex-
eept the Soissons-Rheims salient is
there any fighting of great moment
in progress. The British in northern
France and Flanders are continuing
their daily patrol encounters and TAX
ing prisoners, while the guns of both
the Germans and the British are keep

The speed of the Ger man tanks varies between 1 F and 91s miles per hour The armament is believed to consist of a shorten ed 77-millimeter gun, machine guns and a flame thrower.
