Work Day and Night.

AT the same time great crews OF
track layers. with thousands of coolies
and other hardened workmen are
working day and night repairing the
rail line from Troesnes to Armentieres,
for it Is over that tine that the sup
plies must go up and the reserves
pushed. that a constant stream OF sup
ports may be ready to go north or south
on the Scissors Chateau-Thierry high
way to meet any requirement forced by
sudden changes in the tide OF battle.
"On the other side of the pill box
pitted lines where the best German
machine gunners and rifemen are
strongly entrenched fighting the most
desperate of all style of engagements
a rear-guard action--the German lead
ers also are eagerly awaiting reports
of the progress made by the engineers
in keeping the roads clear and in re-
pair.
The task Of the Germans appear
enormous. 1t is true that the Germans
chances of getting most of their men
out of the encircling allied move ap-
pear better than even. However, the
airmen and the lighter howitzers are
raining shells on Fere-en -Tardenois.
the great rail and road center on the
sphere in which the German troops are
battling. The Germans are working
almost continuously to get their heavy
cannon out of the danger zone. Great
streams of wounded also must be sent
out. To handle this traffic and TO keep
the roads in repair, working for the
most part under steadily increasing
shellire is undoubtedly a heartbreak
ing task for the Germans. The job is
made far more desperate by the fact
that there is no time to attempt coun-
ter-artillery activity.
1t appears that the Germans in this
district must depend upon seven sec
ond-class roads a section of first-class
railway and a narrow qua ge line to get
out something like 622, 900 men who are
believed to be south of the Vesele.
II is perhaps disappointing TO some
laNmen that the allied troops do not
push forward at once and attempt to
cut off the entire German force. Such
a move would be most unwise, Troops
must always have supports, they must
move over rough ground and they must
have plenty of machine guns, light can
non and ammunition. Foch will strike
again. make no mistake about that. and
when he strikes he will do so with the
possibility of failure reduced to the
very lowest minimum"

washington, July 26.--The extent
Of the sillied victory on the Marine
rests Nc longer upon the courage and
daring Of the combat troops--it is
now a battle of the engineers, and
upon the skill and resources of the
tranco-American road builders de-
ponds the fate of the army of the
crown prime, according to military
experts here.
The belief grows with the receipt
of every dispatch that General Foch
is concentrating every energy of his
staff corps 10 problems of coneolidat-
ing and securing the gains made to
date. The restrained movements of
his various attacking forces clearly
indicate that the time has not yet ar
rived when 1t Is necessary to throw
into the battle the best troops. When
the moment comes for the supreme
drive against the roadways left open
to the retreating Germans, the al
lied forces Will be fresh.
The general opinion held here sup
ports the theory that the battle of
the Marine has entered upon it's sec
ond phase. No great gains are antic-
ipated in the next twenty-four hours.

the Vesle river,
Allied military attaches today
showed even greater interest in the
reported movements of the allied
forces. A prominent officer who saw
duty at the battle of Ypres said:
In many ways the battle now has
reached it's most interesting and excit-
ing stage. On each side it has be-
come, for the time being. a battle OF
the engineers. And each side knows
II.
Any soldier who has ever been at
tached to the engineers or who has
been on a battlefield two or three days
after the opening of a major attack
appreciates the tension with which
the air must be charged about the
headquarters of the engineers on
each side tonight.
In the Franco-American side, the
soldiers by surprise and by down
right sheer courage and logged deter
mnation have smashed back the Ger
mans and forced them TO break their
hold upon the great highway from
Scissors to Chateau Thierry. Need
less to say, the Germans have done
their utmost to ruin this line. But the
foundations are there and the en-
eineers have been turned loose upon
the job. For 1t will be over this line
that the reserves will be speeded and
the heavy cannon moved in the days
to come--just how soon those days will
be depends upon the skill and driving
