ALLIED VICTORIES
 STILL CONTINUE


 Back en 60-Mile Fr0nt--Entire
 Southern Bank of the Marne
 Entirely Clearly of Enemy
 Paris, July 20-Victcries for the al- lied arms in France continue to multi ply. Over the entire 60-mile front running from Soissons to Rheims, the allied troops are fighting with a de- termination that brooks no dAEial of their efforts. And the Germans steadi- ly are givip !" ground, though stubborn resistance is being offered on some sectors.
 Further goodly sized fluctuations have heen made in the German line between Soissons and Chateau Thier- ry by the American and French troops, and almost all the gains made by the Germans in their recent drive south of the Marne and toward the vicinity Of Rheims have been blot ted out under the counter-attack of the Americans, French, British and Italians.
 Chateau Thierry, which represents the point in the battle line where the Germans had driven their wedge near lest to Paris, has been recaptured by the French troops, and almost simul- taneously the village of Br,shels, two miles eastward and the heights to the north of the village fell into their hands.
 Bre A German Line.
 Acting in harmony with the move ment on = Chateau Thierry American and French troops northwest of the city struck the Germans another hard blow, broke through the Germ1n lines and drove through at some points more than three miles. Large numbers of prisoners were taken and the machine guns of the allied troops literally moved down the Germans who endeavored to stay their prog ress.
 To the north along the Ourcq valley the French are making good progress toward the important junction toward Nanteuil-Norte Dame, while the op- erations south and southeast of Sols- sons are keeping time with those along the other parts of the front.
 British Reserves Coming Up.
 The entire southern bank of the Marne having been cleared of enemy forces. French, British and Italian troops now are harrassing those south west ot Rheims and they have been forced to fall back in the Courton wood the Andre valley and near St. notwithstanding their des- perate resistance. The number of British operating with allied forces in this region is not known. The first announcement that they were in the vicinity was made Saturday night and doubtless they represent a portion oi the great reserves that are everywhere being brought up ong the battle line in an endeavor to make secure the voctories already won and enlarge them.
 With the capture of Chateau Thier- ry and the fast progress of the French and Americans eastward from the sectors the plight of the Germans in the southwestern portion of the Soissons Rheims salient be- comes increasingly hazardous and it Is not improbable that when stock is finally taken large numbers of pris- oners will be found to have been taken by the allied troops.
 Indian Scouts Do Good Work.
 Aviators continue to lend assist ance to the troops Of General Foch, scouting the back areas and harassing the retreating Germans with their guns. Notable work has been done by American Indians for General Pershing's men. the Aborgines taking a prominent part in character Istic Western fashion in scouting in the Marne region. In none of the other theaters ex- ,ept the Soissons- Rheims salient is here any fighting of great moment n progress. The British in northern France and Flanders are continuing heir daily patrol encounters and talk ng prisoners while the guns of both l he Germans and the British are seeping up their reciprocal lombard
