With the Americans on the Marine,
July 21.-American and French patrols
today crossed the Marine and raided
German positions on the northern
bank. The Germans were unable to
destroy all h pontoons on which they
retreated across the river.
American artillery in conjunction
with the French batteries exacted a
costly toll from the Germans in their
flight from the entire southern bank.
The German retirement began early in
the morning. American and French
outposts, learning of the movement,
laid down a heavy barrage on all the
German held territory, south Of the
Marine, east and west Of Dormans. An
other barrage dropped a continuous
curtain of shells on the, northern bank.
German units were thrown into dis
organization. They attempted to flee
from the terrific fire, but encountered
still more while crossing the stream on
pontoon bridges and in small boats.
AS they reached the north bank the
routed enemy encountered still another
barrage. Some Germans, unable to
cross, are still hiding in woods and in
fields OF the southern side. American
and French scouting parties are en-.
gagged in a German military hunting
expedition, rounding up the fugitives
and sending them in continuous streams

positions along the Marine. has been entirely occupied by the allies.
Undoubtedly the German evacuation of Chateau-Thierry is the
beginning of a considerable retreat. Today the French and Ameri-
cans continued their hot pursuit of the enemy.
Chateau-Therry was one claw Of the pincers by which the Ger
