GERMAN DEAD COVER
BATTLE FIELD AREA

With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front. July 27.-The
American troops advancing along
the Marne have discovered hundreds
OF dead Germans. The victims fell
before the heavy machine gun fire
OF the Americans during the retreat.
In one horseshoe area the ground
was covered with dead. The Ameri-
cans buried as many bodies as was
possible. II is estimated that 1000
Germans fell there. = ~
Farmers along the Marne report
having seen the bodies Of German
dead floating down the stream. The
military authorities are planning
some system by which they can clear
the river OF bodies. nr
Three days after the Germans
evacuated Chateau ThIerry the Am
orleans found lone German In Mont
81. Pere hiding In a cellar. The
prisoner said he was tired OF tho
war and was determined to secret
himself. notwithstanding the fact
that he had no food. and later take
a chance by surrendering to the al
lies. He said the German soldiers
we're dissatisfied with the way af-
fairs we're going and the general
opinion was that the crown prince
was unable to bring up sufficient re-
Inducements or food supplies to aid
the forces being attacked from the
south.
The American soldiers watched
with pleasure the prisoner appease
his appetite after his three days
fast The German requested the
Americans not to report his deser-
tion. saying II they did and he ever
got back to Germany he would be
shot.

ENEMY BELIEVED IN POSITION
WHERE HE CAN NOT STRIKE
OFFENSIVE BLOWS
HUN SITUATION NOT UE7EAABlE
Orders TO Withdraw From Salient
Changed Probably Owing TO the
Difficulties Involved in Move

London. July 27.-As a result Of
the last weeks activities the whole
situation on the western front has
been transformed. The Germans.
according to dispatches from the
front, have used 65 divisions ON the
Champagne front. and the whole of
the crown princes reserves have
been exhausted. The only fresh re-
serves remaining to the Germans are
less than 80 divisions attached to
Crown Prince Rupprecht's armies.
Last week 1t appeared certain
that Prince Rupprecht would BE- cali
ed upon to launch an attack on the
British front. but the enemy put off
this attack and the psychological
moment for 1t probably has passed.
The Germans appear committed to
the great battle In progress. and
cannot afford to stake heavily on .
dubious operation at another part
Of the front. according to the view
Of British experts.
The German situation in the -
lient. although awkward, Il not an
tenable. The enemy's difficulties are
not greater than those in which TIE
British army was placed for many
months in the Ypres salient, before
the capture Of Messines ridge.
The Ypres salient was five miles
wide and five miles deep and IVES
dominated by the enemy. The pres
ent German salient is now 20 miles
wide and 20 miles deep, and. SINH
larly. is dominated by the allied ar
tillery.
Captured documents show the
enemy had made up his mind on. the
day after the allied offensive began
to undertake a retirement to a line
along either the Ardre and vesle
and had actually given orders for
this.
The orders were later cancelled.
presumably owing to the difficulty
of effecting an orderly retreat In
the pinched salient. It is possible
they have decided to retain the posi-
tions as long as possible.

Paris. July 27.-The latest re-

vorable. The entente allied pro-
gress, It is believed, has not yet
come to an end. Despite stubborn
resistance the Germans have been
obliged to give up Oulchy-L.e-Cha-
teau and II is thought that the Teu-
tons cannot long hold Fere-en-Tar-
denois.
La Liberte says the Germans must
be considering a retreat to the banks
OF the river vesle as fires and ex-
plosions are multiplying In the Ger
man lines and the Teuton provisions
and other stores are In flames. The
