 Defense. MILITARY WISDOM DICTATED HUN MOVE American Military Officers Read Re. ports of Great Withdrawal
 With Enthusiastic
 Interest.

Washington, July 27-Harassed on the Hanks by allied infantry and with advanced positions directly north of the Marne swept by allied guns, the German army in the Soisson-Rheims salient has retreated to a new line of resistance where an attempt will be made to meet the attack of the French American. British and 1tal- ian troops.
 Thus was the German Withdrawal reported inadvices from Paris viewed b., military officials here tonight. Press dispatches telling of, the enemy's retreat were read by Gen. March, chief of staff, with great interest So far as known no official dispatches had been received by the war depart ment tonight on the latest move of the German command.
 The retirement of the enemy did not allay the widespread belief in off cial circles that the enemy still con- templated fighting it out in the re- zion north of the Marne. Officials were not prepared to venture an op- iinion as to the location of the new line. Severe rear guard action, it was assumed. had been carried on by the enemy to cover the concentration alonc this line and the nasty throw ing up of field entrenchments.
 It was not believed the line could be definitely located until it had been reached by the Franco-American guard following up the retiring enemy Military wisdom it was pointed out. the salient etween Soissons and Rheims. The internad situation in Germany and Austria, it was suggest ed, may have forced the German gen. eral staff to make only partial re- tirement .and to accept again the challenge of battle.

2,3oo S0lnIfRs PASS THRU P. B.
 UN FOUR TRAINS
One Train Load of $50 Is Fed With Ice-Co1d
 Watermelons.

Five hundred and fifty soldiers headed for the front ran into the best streak of luck they've had in long time when they hit Pine Bluff yester- day. Red Cross Canteen Service un- der the direction of Mrs. w. T. Lowe cut only 150 ice cold watermelons anc the five-fiftv whooped for joy as the, sank their teeth into the luscious fruit.
 It was the first time that water melons were placed on the bill of fare for the passing troopers. Did they like them? We'll, you should have seen them partake. The melons had been in the big ice house at the shops for hours and were chilled to the core. Cheer after cheer rang out for the II little women in the unit that served the melon.
 The men who got the melon were on the second of four troop trains which passed yesterday. Two others had $50 men and thn fourth had $50. mak- ing total of 2,30O men. Friday the Canteen Service served 2666 men.
 Ice tea, cookies. magazines and postcards were given to two of the trainlOads yesterday. The fourth which passed thru at II o'clock last night got peaches and cigarettes.
 Mrs. Lowe yesterday issued call for recruits for the reserve corps of the Canteen Service. The reserve corps is composed of women who are willing to make cookies or any other edibles wanted on instant notice. Thew do not have to gc to the trains, But they are likely to be called on for a hundred or so cookies at any time in the day and are expected to make them at once.
 Volunteers for the reserve corps should send bv mail their names. ad- dress and telephone number to Mrs. Lowe. Phoning in the name and ad- dress is inadvisable as Mrs. Lowa is generally away from homo direetings the work of distributing the odibles to the soldiers.

Aerial operations were again of less importance today on account of the weather.

Occasionally both the allies and the enemy attempted to use planes but these in most cases, were forced to de- cend on account of the rain
 May Not Stand at Ardre.
 There is a growing belief that the enemy will make no effort to stand on the Ardre river. Fere-en -Tardenois and even Ville-en- Tardenois directly east are already under heavy fire from the Hanks and the south line making the roads, as we'll as tempor- ary railroads virtually useless for transportation purposes.
 These positions must be almost un- tenable, the Germans are doing their utmost to hold the high ground south east of Soisscns for a continuation or further north along the Vesle. The of their line either along the Ardre Hanks of the French, British and oth CT armies are withstanding every ef- fort of the Germans, who appear to be making a determined effort south of Scissons.
 The effect has been the presentation of hiphlv-dangerous spongy front into which any part of the advancing allied line might fall Were it not for the hunting down of the enemy and cleaning out of points of obstruction some parts of the line could be far in advance of where thev are.
 Prisoners of Landwehr.
 The Germans have left officers who know how to paneuver success fully partially deserted units so that at time it appears almost ironical to re- far to their defense as rear-guard ac- tion. Prisoners brought to one of the American headquarters today were men of the landwehr, who confirmed former statements of prisoners that the armies engaged in the retirement are leaving only enough men the re- sist efforts to hurry them. Like other prisoners they professel weariness of the war and said this feeling was general but supposed they must go on since the men in high command so Willed.

ward from Chatean Thierrv. as we'll as to the east and west, has been re- taken largely by the French and American troops through fighting of the sternest nature during the last week.
 The principal fighting of the past few days has occurred along the Oulchy-L y-Le-Chateau, Villemontoire and the Bouily sectors. At Viliemontoire the allies succeeded in pushing ahead slightly and near Bouilly the Brit ish, on Thursday, began an attack that promised well, but it was stopped and the British were driven back slightly from their advanced position.
 The fighting at Ou;lchy-le-Chateau and to the southeast through the wooded country has been steady, and the Germans have been compelled to give ground but it has been slow process that the allies have carriee on in turning the enemy out of thfs section and forcing him to withdraw toward Tardenois.
 Big Guns Sweep Germans.
 The situation on the interior of the salient must be uncomfortable for the Germans. Long-range guns of the allies are sweeping nearly every part. and this fire is doubly severe over that portion within range of the medium calibred cannon. ne" German offensive against some othef section of the line to relieve pressure on the crown princes army IS expect ed by some military experts. but it has not developed.
