GENERAL FORWARD
MOVEMENT GOES ON

( With the Germans throwing great
1nasses OF re-enforcements taken
from their best reserves into the bat
tie line between the Aisne and the
Marine. the American-French forward
movement was continuing today.
Despite the violence of the attempt
ed counter assaults OF the enemy, the
general forward movement has con-
finued, according 20 the latest reports
received here.
Hundreds Of prisoners and all sorts
aof war materials are being sent to
the rear, while officers here today ex-
pressed the belief that the serious
pressure upon Rheims has been very
materially slackened-
sOIssOns' FaneExpected.
The report OF the capture Of sois-
sons by the Americans and French
had been anticipated here. and while
there were many expressions OF salts
faction the Capital took the event
generally as matter Of course. Sec
rotary Of War Baker was greatly
pleased over the result, but said he
had not at that hour received any Of
fetal confirmation from General
Pershipg, as Official dispatches were
delayed.
There was general feeling here
today that the end Of thespresent Of
fensive may soon be in sight The
Germans have been driven back at
several points to their prepared en-
trenchments and until these caH be
blasted out with artillery IL will be
impossible for the infantry to attack
them.
However, It was pointed out that

these sections.
American Morale Perfect.
All Of the reports from the front
reaching here today emphasized the
wonderful effect that the series of
processes has had upon the morale of
The American troops in France. They
we're supremacy confident when they
went into action. but they had expect
ed that the famous shock troops of
the German army would put up a
much sitter 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 fighting. At no time have the
German forces seriously troubled the
Americans, the accounts reaching here
cay.
Army officers were very careful
again today TO emphasize the fact
that the present engagement is not
the supreme thrust which has been
anticipated from the statements
made by General Foch. The present
drive was undertaken to lift the
danger from Paris and to relieve the

GERMANS AMAZED
AT VIOLENT ATTACK

PARIS, July 2o.-M. CALI. OF the
Echo de Paris, who returned yester-
day morning from General Gouraud's
front. says his impressions are in
every way encouraging. He said:
Thursday morning we watched the
brilliant counter attacks Of our Sicto-
rious troops who advanced, retaktng
ground upon which the boche left
dead and debris of every description,
including guns tanks, and machine
guns.
"Pve seen terror-stricken prisoners
who expressed enormous surprise At
the attacks OF our troops. They were
advancing in mass formation, ana
with batteries in battle position, when
our guns and machine guns cut them
down by thousands. Some of these
prisoners accuse their leaders Of haV-
ing misled them. Others suggest trea-
son. The losses on the French size
are relatively small, thanks to the
tactics of General Gouraud. The
losses Of the enemy are gigantic, sew
.eraI divisions being decimated-"
~ French Hold Gains.
I La LibertsSg gives incidents OF Cen
-eraf-Mangin's advance. 1t says:
"West OF Scissors one Of our regt-
ments Charged the enemy with the
bayonet, colors flying. singing
Champs du Depart
East of Dommiers a mixed regt-
ment of zouayes and tirailleurs swept
into the German positions, captured

column of re-enforcements coming to
aid the enemy, and without mo-
ment's check reached Chaudun, hav-
ing penetrated the enemy defenses for
eight kilometers.
zone reason for the lack OF details
is the fact that on the SOissons-Cha-
teau Thierry front the French infan-
try advanced so rapidly that COM
munications between the firing line
and various headquarters became slow
and difficult"
In the northern extremity OF the
