 Villemontoire is on the Soissons- Chateau Thierry road. It is just to the southwest of the town of Buz- ancy, which has been reported unof- ficially to have been taken by the Allies. Its capture marks a new step in the process of closing the mouth of the bag in which the Ger mans are struggling.
 The fall of Oulchy le Chateau takes from the Germans the pivot on which their retirement farther south has been swinging. Its loss to the enemy, who defended it sternly, is d serious blow.
 The French official statement says the Allies have advanced eastward of this town which should bring them to the vicinity of hill 150, which Is the dominating height in that region and which would give the Allies an observation point over long

 There is nothing known as to the British progress on the line from Gueux and Mery Premecy, west of Rheims. The reported rapid ad- vance of the British there, however, would seem to suggest that there was plenty of power behind their thrust and that their progress should con- tinue.
