parts or the line where the resistance
was lighter.
at O'Clock this morning, American
Hacn1ne guns were stationed on Hill
l4l outside Fere-en-Tardenois, sweep
ing the avenues Of retreat from the
city. Our artillery was brought up to
the heights outside Sergy.
Such towns as Roncheres, Fresnes,
four miles south and east OF Fere-en-
Tardenois) and Courmont "a mile
northeast Of Fresnes) were complete
ly enveloped and passed Village after
village fell to the Americans.
Two main points of resistance were
encountegrd--the first at Croix Rouge
farm; the second at the Ourcq. Both

The gunners maintained their fire as
long as possible, then withdrew, set
up their guns again and resumed fir
ing until they were wiped out
The Americans swung forward two
or three kilometers "a mile and a QUAR-
ter to mile and three Quarters) after
disposing of one line of machine gun
defense before encountering the next.
Then the fight would be repeated.

they cleaned UP the nests. He ex-
planned.

we'd run forward firing. That's all"
There are many additional prisoners
but they include few machine gun
ners. The Americans killed or wound
ed practically all Of the latter, who
were left behind as sacrifices.
An intensified war of movement has
again set in with renewed momentum.
Armored cars are being used in recon
naissances.
When the Americans approached
the Ourcq they were first held up by
artillery and machine gun fire. A
sharp fight ensued. Then the artil-
lery came up behind our infantry and
the resistance was wiped out.
The Ourcq is narrow and shallow
The Americans forded it. The first
man across was a New Yorker.
The general withdrawal from the
bottom of the pocket took place Fri
day night and Saturday. German in
fantry fire began to decrease in vol
ume, apparently because Of the move
ment of batteries to the north OF the
Ourcq.
The Americans captured thousands
of rounds of machine gun ammunition
and many very large dumps OF large
and small caliber shells along the
north and south road in Fere forest
Numerous machine guns also were
taken, but they have not yet been
counted.
Wounded men returning from the
fight are in the highest spirits. Most
of their wounds are machine gun bull

the lower half Of the wide, deep salient
between Scissors and Rheims.
Fere-cn-T ardenois was captured
only after desperate struggle lasting
many hours. The French and the
Americans cooperating with them
found many machine guns cleverly
concealed in houses and cellars. These
nests were wiped out in bitter hand
to hand struggles In which no quarter
was asked and none given.
The Germans had destroyed all the
bridges across the Ourcq, but the
poiIus and doughboys forded the shall
low stream at several points in the
face Of a storm of bullets.
The allies also advanced their lines
to the left and right of Fere-en-Tarden-
