ENEMY |S GETTING
 BATTLE IMPLEMENTS
 IN POSITION AGAIN
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON. Aug. 5.-The corre- spondent of. Reuters, Limited, at American headquarters in France, in dispatch timed l o'clock Monday aft ; ernoon says:
 The rapid advance of the last two days has become slower and steadier, not only owing to the fresh show of enemy resistance but from the neces- sity of getting the implements of bat tie again into their proper places. The German retirement throughout has been conducted with the greatest skill. Only a very small force was left facing us when the order came to withdraw to the Vesle. This force had no difficulty in eluding us.
 Americans Keen Chasers The Americans were just as keen at chasing the enemy as they were at fighting, but the cavalry screen of the old days; which was used as a guard against surprise, was absent and the infantry, which has 10 rely on its own precautions, always must go some what slowly.
 Heavy rain storms fell while the | German retreat was in progress and the guns and the lorries have churned these limestone hills until they are nearly impassable.''
 l Reuters correspondent at French ! headquarters in France, in a dispatch l dated Monday afternoon at o'clock 1 says:
 Vigorously Oppose Allies
 'The enemy's artillery fire is very l heavy along the whole line of the VesIe and the Germans are opposing very vigorous resistance to the allies. NeV- ertheless French patrols succeeded in crossing the river at several points be- tween Sermoise cast of Solssons and i Fishes, where the Americans crossed and betwen Fisms and Muizon."
 The Germans on the north bank are [ abund antly supplied with machine guns and bomb throwers. Their aviators are busy using machine guns against ou1 troops and the enemy resistance ev- anywhere is very stiff.
 Between Muizon and Reims. where we are firmly established on the south bank. there has been very hard fight ing.
 RepuIsed After Hot Fight
 There vas hot encounter at the Nautes farm. close to Muizon. for the passage of the river. After it's capture the Germans sent across detachments in an ottemDt to retake the farm. Bot attachments were repulsed after d se- we're fight.
 "The artillery is very active on botf sides of this region.
 West of Braisne the enemy sub bornly resisted our passage of the rive opposite the La Grange farm on tho south bank of the stream.
 "On the Avre river, in the Montddie' section. the French have occupied tht whole of the line of wooded hills ever looking the steep river valley iron 3raches to Mesnil St. Georges.

GERMAN WITHDRAWAL ID A|SNE-MARNE |S NUT UNLIKELY NOW

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-Continu- ation of the German withdrawal to the Alsne line is anticipated by army off cers here. The fact that the Nesle has been crossed in several places seems to make It certain that no very deter mined stand is to be expected there.
 The French are already on the Hanks Of the German forces in the Nesle- Aisne triangle, having passed to the north bark of the Aisne near Soissons and across the Nesle near Reims. The development of a triple jaw pincer at tack such as that which routed the en- emy on the Ourcq and with the Ameri- can first army corps again forming the center jaw, is indicated by the opera tions so far reported.
 The situation about Soissons, where the French have pushed well out to the northeast of that city after crossing the Aisne, is full of interesting possi- bilities to observers here. It may be that the purpose of this movement is to gain such position in the rear of the Aisne line as to force the enemy to abandon that naturally strong defen- sive position without a pitched battle Again, the purpose might be even more ! limited. and have to do only with sweeping the enemy back from the inn mediate vicinity of Soissons.
 Foch May Shift Battle Front l The drive from Soissons is headed in such a direction that it nav be the beginning of a far more ambitious pro- | ject by General Foch. It might well | foreshadoW officers said. extension of the battle front northward in an effort

Is in direct antagonism to the teach
