ADMIT FAILURE OF OFFENSIVE.
German Newspapers Express Fear

German Newspapers Express Fear
Of HIndenburu's Plans.
Washington.-An official dispatch
from Switzerland says the German
newspapers not only admit that the
German offensive has failed, but ex.
press fear that Gen. Foch has built up
an army Of reserves that will enable
him to wrest the offensive from the
German high command. The Frank
furter Zeitung says:
Gen. Foch has been able to form
an important army of reserves. Foch's
attack aims to deal blow in the back
Of Boehm's army and should it be sue
cessful it might compel this army to
retreat under most unfavorable cond:-
tions.
"Foch's attack threatens the whole
Of Hindenburg's plans.
The Strassburger Post says the pub
lie had in general attached too great
hopes to the German offensive az
Rheims, and asks:
From where does these troops
come? American transports have
really brought more quickly than they
were expected"

Washington. appropriations made
by the two sessions of the war con
gress have almost reached the $780,
boo, 100000 mark.

He pointed out that the expenditures

ENEMY is IN WILD FLIGHT
Retreat of the German Crown Prince
Forces Has Reached a More
PreeIpltate Phase.

With the French Armies on the
Marne-Aisne Front.-The retreat of
the German crown prince forces along
the whole Marine front has reached a
more precipitate phase. At some
places the Germans have fallen back
for a distance of several miles. French
and American troops are marrying the
retiring forces on the center while
French and British troops are ham.

FRENCH AND AMERICAN GAIN
Advance Their Lines North of the
Marine RlVer-Germans Continue
Retreat Northward.

With the American Army on the
Marne.-Franco- American troops ad-
vanced their lines north of the river
Marine more steadily. The Germans
continued their retreating movement
to the northward. The French and
Americans also made gains on other
parts of the So miles of battle front.
The Germans viciously resisted in a
majority of cases.
AS the days of heavy fighting con.
tinue on the battlefield north of the
Marine, it becomes increasingly appar,

With the American Army on the
Ainse- Marine Front. The German line
ls again north of the ourcq river and
Fere-en-T ardenois, which has been en-
4 tered by the French troops, is at the
mercy of the allies.
The line along the greater part of
the Soissons-R Rheims salient has been
pushed forward in some places as
much as five miles.
The Germans are bringing into play
their artillery in force to check the
plunges of the Franco.American
troops. The Americans have played a
brilliant part in the advance, which
Included the occupation of Sergy, on
the north bank Of the river.
The line follows the Ourcq river to
Eergy and to Goussancourt, the latter
place lying six miles north of Marne.
The Germans offered bitter resist.
ance, but not to compare with that
which began for the retention of the
higher ground further north OF the
river. There they supplemented their
defense with artillery fire, reaching
ever the American front lines to the
supports. the volume Of fire at times
attaining enormous proportions.
Our artillery galloped into action
Immediately behind the infantry. The
Americans, pushing northeastward to
Percent ardenois, expected to meet
stiff resistance after occupying "Red
Cross Farm" southwest of Fresnos,
but, through the Forest deFere, little
Sighting taking place In the course of
this advance. Meanwhile French con-
tingents on the Americans right occu-
Died Fresnes and Curment, while other
American attachments pushed through
the forest Of Ris, capturing Champ
voisy and other small towns.
We are now finding huge piles of
German shells, but little other booty.
Unwavering the Americans held
their ground and even advanced
slightly, while the French on their
sectors to the right and left resisted
a. steadily against the vicious efforts
From behind the advancing lines the
allied heavy guns kept up continu-
out bombardment throughout, Smelling
the German positions, wherever the
airmen reached troop concentrations.
Heavy artillery has been used to
some extent by the Germans IN theiI
rear guard actions, but to no such
extent as now, and this gives some
basis for belief that Won Boehm, the
German commander, is preparing to
make a stand. 1t is pointed out, how
ever, that until the Ardre river Is
reached all the advantages Of ground
are with the allies. So 1t is generally
Believed the dropping of his heavy
guns is merely an indication that his
armies are being withdrawn with all
speed from position which is intol-
cradle and which unless relieved might
result in the Reorganization of what
30 far has been an admirably conduct
ed retreat,
