FIGHTING MARKS
TAKING OF FERE
Germans Show Stubborn Re-
sistance to Taking of Supply
Base by French.
(By Associated Press.)

WITH-THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE. July 29.-Morning. The for
ward pressure of the allies was con-
tinued uninterruptedly throughout
Sunday. On Saturday the progress of
the allied forces was extremely rapid,
with slight opposition from the re-
treating enemy but yesterday the Ger
mans everywhere demonstrated that
their power of determind resistance
was still very strong.
In the streets of Fere-en-Tardenofs,
there was very severe hand-tohand
fighting, but the allies eventually OBJ
tanned the upper hand.
Late last night, fighting was still in
progress for the mastery of Vilie-en.
Tardenois, the Germans strong point
on the southeasterly side Of the sal J.
lent, but the allies were gradually
gaining the ascendancy here. They
are established in the southern por
tion of the town, having beaten off all
efforts of the Germans to dislodge
them.
Overcome All ObsticIes.
After conquering Fere-en-Tradenois
the alliese next had before them the
difficult task of crossing the river
Ourcq in the face of the strongest Ger
man fire. Happily the river is run
ming very low just now, for not a
bridge was left intact.
The allies succeeded in overcoming
all obstacles here and secured a foot
hold on the northern bank, where they
present a serious menace to the en-
emy.
Farther to the southeast. in the
neighborhood of the forest, towards
the center of the pocket, both infan
try and the artillery were heavily en-
gagged.
In the region north Of Ris forest
there were some very furious combats
which lasted several hours and re
suited in the allies gaining posses
sion of Champvoisy. Then Roncheres
was reached by advanced guards. Far
ther to the east, cavalry patrols came
into action in the Meuniere wood ant
at Villers- -Agron Aiguisy.

LONDON, July 29.-Evidence ac-

have been indulging again in whole

sent from press army headquarters,
Reuters correspondents give details of
their conduct while in possession of
Chateau Thiery.
The Germans were in the town for
some time and apparently thought
they would remain there indefinitely
When they found they would have to
give IL up they determined to take
the only vengeance in their power.
The injuries which have been inflicted
on the town are such as could not be

LONDON, July 29-The Ger

from the fighting area in the
Soissons-Rheims salient receiv-
ed up to noon.
The Germans have succeeded
in checking to a certain extent.
but not in stopping the French
advance.
North Of the Marne the tide of Ger
man invasion is fast ebbing.
The fact that a general retreat In
this region is going on is not ques-
toned and the only question of mo-
ment remaining to be cleared up is
the location of The position at which
the enemy will turn at bay.
Since Saturday morning there have
been important changes in the battle
line between Soissons and Rheims.

continues eastward until It reaches

1t has been contended by military
experts that the Germans might stand
on the line of the Ourcq river from
which their heavy cannon might DOM

however, the Germans seem to hold
positions that will provide a pivot for
their retreat toward the Vesles river.
Near Ardre River
In this region, the allies this morn
ing were getting very close to the
Ardre river, which forms a protection
to the right flank of the enemy posi-
tions near Rheims.
