July 20 (afternoon) Up to Satur
day morning the Franco-Americans
had recaptured roughly ninety
square miles of territory between
the Aisne and the Marne, over thirty
villages, and, according to unofficial
reports, about 400 cannon and 20. 900
prisoners.
While the advance is proceeding
more slowly there, the French troops
south of the Marne on a fifteen-mile
front from Fossoy to Oeuilly have
thrown the enemy back and are ad
vancing toward the Marne.
The latter is an indication that
the Germans are denuding the terri
tory south Of the Marne of reserves
for the Aisne-Marne front, and are
probably contemplating a complete
withdrawaly due to the danger of
having the Marne at tlieir backs.
