Bavarian guards, the German forces
on the sector to the north of the

vigor and fighting of the most desper

throughout the day, the contending
forces being tossed about through
the village of Sergy, three miles
southeast of Fere-en-Tardenois. At

had been advanced from two to
three miles on a 20-mile front in the

compare with the losses inflicted on
the enemy forces.

are retreating beyond Vesle to a
line 80 miles long which had been
previously prepared by the enemy
for just such a contingency. These
new lines are said to have very good
communications. Inc retirement OF
the Germans is conducted very de-

with a strong rear guard covering
the retreat at all times and pre-
venting a rush of the Allied troops
which, if successful, will turn their
retirement into a disorderly rout.
