ALL RESERVES OF THE CROWN PRINCE
WERE USED IN CHAMPAGNE OPERATION
Less Than Thirty Fresh and These
Are Attached to Ruppretch's Armies-LOndon Points
That While Enemy Is in Awkward Position He
Is Not Yet Trapped.

London, July 29.-On all sides OF
the German salient the allies are re-
ported to be continuing to make pro-
gress, except on the heights behind
scissors. The German resistance to
the French pressure has been very
determined in this latter sector. The
advances reported elsewhere are for
the most part light.
On the other side OF the salient
just to the west of Rheims the allies
lost the town OF Merry and hill 204
to a German counte rattack, but re-
tanned Vrigny and the greater part
OF the line thereabouts looking to-
ward Fismes.
The allies in his sector hold Mar
faux. Bouilly. st. Euphraise and
Courton wood
Between the Ourcq and Chateau
Thierry the Franco-A now
shows an advance beyond the line OF
week ago of from six to eight
miles.
Whole Situation Transformed.
AS result of the past weeks ac-
tivities the whole situation on the
western front has been transformed.
The Germans, according to dis
patches 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 reserves remaining to the
Germans are less than 80 divisions
attached to Crown Prince Rup-
precht's armies.
Last week 1t appeared certain that
Prince Rupprecht would be called
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
for the Germans appear committed
to the great battle in progress and
cannot afford to stake heavily on a
dubious operation at another part of
the front, according to the view oi
alton in the salient, although awk-
fward, Is not untenable. The enemy's
difficulties are not greater than those

THE great popular success
OF the campaign 10 due to
several causes: to The win
the-war spirit which AMI
mates the people Of South
Carolina; to tho loyal and un-

devoted workers; to the pa

county chairmen and their
efficient co-worksrs; to the
splendid cooperation OF the
press. the pulpit. and tho pub
lie forum In conveying the
War Savings message so
ably and forcefully; and to
tho many patriotic advertis-

tsing space for presenting
the w. s. 8. cause.
"All classes of people have
been brought together for
the common good In a way
that practically insures tho
eventual success OF the w.

confident that when the year

have done its full duty in this

ALLIED FORCES CONTINUE TO
DRIVE AGAINST THE ENEMY
Saturday

the entire front north Of the Marne.
This part Of the front in the Aisne-
Marne salient is about twenty miles
across and the advance Of the French
and allied troops on the arc constitu-
ting the bottom OF the sack has av-
eraged between two and three miles
beyond the line officially reported a
day or two ago.
This means that the German crown
prince and his generals are extracat-
ing their troops from dangerous po-
sitions as best they may. Reports
from French headquarters have indi-
Gated that the Germans were carry
ing out extensive preparations for
the evacuation Of the territory be-
tween the Marne and the Ourcq, and
1T is undoubted that the allies will
endeavor with all their resources to
drive in on the enemy fianks
Bruieres, which lies a little more
than three miles to the northeast of

new allied positions, and Chaumuzy.
southwest of Rheims wood, lies at
the other. Here the new line unites
with the old
Chateau-Thierry, which was oncu
a pivot point of the German advance
In the recent offensive, is now ten
miles or more to the south OF the al
lied front. All this territory, rum
nj In h rrIt-t
ry, as well as to the east and west,
has been retaken largely by the
French and American troops by figh,
ing of the sternest nature during the
last week.
Fresh Troops Poured In.
Since the French and Americans
struck the German line from Fonte
noy to Belleau a week ago last Thurs
day. the Germans have been forced
to reform their lines and pour into
the salient south of the Vesle river
many divisions of fresh troops which
were probably intended for use else
where along the front. The effort
of the enemy to stabilize his line has
brought about what for the time be-
ing is virtual deadlock, but over
the situation there hangs at all
times a possibility, and a proba bility
that some new stroke would be
struck by either side.
So far as shown by official state
ments, the allies have pushed the
Germans south Of Soissons back to
an extreme depth OF over eleven
miles, Oulchy-le-Chateau being the
point OF deepest penetration. The
Germans have held their ground on
the north side of the Marine along
most Of the line from Dormans east
to Reuil and only here and there
have yielded ground between the
Marne and Rheims.
Line as Ii Now Stands.
The line as it now stands starts
from Fontenoy, on the Aisne, and
runs enthusiastically through Per
nant to Montague de Paris on the
hills overlooking Soissons. At that
poi tni turns south and passes thru
