Retreat Skillfully Conducted

Therefore, as Foch has been able to
drive the enemy across the Nesle there
is every reason to suppose he will
also be able to push them across the
Aisne.
The enemy has been conducting his
retreat with skill. He has not allowed
any considerable bodies of troops to
be cut off and he has removed most
of his heavy artillery. There has been
nothing in the nature of a collapse.
He has still to get across the Aisne,
which at the end of a long and siren
uous retreat will be difficult opera.
ton.
Even if he carries this through as
we'll as he has done the rest the blow
to his prestige will still be tremen-
dous. The military party, with the
Crown prince at its head, have been
grossly wrong in their estimates. They
have deceived the German people and
brought the day appreciably nearer
when they will be called to account.
Meantime, on our front we have
been quietly and methodically improv.

Somme, in front of Amiens, along the
Ancre and on the Bailleuil front, all

Paris is satisfied today that the Ger
man counter-offensive. which It has been
expecting for the last ten days, Will
now be limited to the efforts of the
'.grosse Bertha" which Tuesday resumed
It's practice of dropping shells on the
city and has continued its bombardment.
The enemy, it is believed here, no
longer is in a position to react efec-
lively, and the idea that he will be
able to make any prolonged stand be-
tween the Vesle and the Aisne Is secuted
ae impracticable In the center of that
POSITION the distance between the two
rivers, on line running northward
from Fismes, Is only between four and
fve miles
Our heavy batteries, posted on the
south bank of the Nesle. have now for
nearly forty-eight hours mercilessly
been hammerfng the remnants OF the
Crown Princes forces still south of the
Aisne. AS long ago as Tuesday after
noon there was not a single yard of
position where the enemy still was hold
ing on which wasn't under either the
direct or enfilading fire of our guns. The
bridges across the Aisne are also sub
5ected to a constant bombardment both
from our guns and airplanes. Two of
the German bridges across the river
were destroyed Tuesday and material
that was being transported across them
was thrown into the river. The fact
that very little reply is coming from
the enemy artillery indicates clearly
that he chiefly Is occupied in getting his
guns safely to the other side Of the
river. -
Our troops who are driving the enemy
before them find themselves faced, as a
rule, by dense barrages, machine-guns
and rifle fire, and have to wait from
time to time until guns can be brought
up to clear the obstructions away. The
enemy rear guards are composed. for
the most part, Of men who belong to his
best regiments who have been with
drawn from his shock divisions. 1t is
significant of the German shortage of
man-power that he has been compelled to
employ for this work crack troops which
certainly never were intended to cover
his retreat.
The continued bad weather undoubted-
ly Is impeding the operations of both
sides.
