GERMANS SUFFER
ASEVERE
! DEFEAT
MAY NOT STOP SOUTH OF VESLE
RIVER DEFENSES

North of the Marine the tide of Ger
man invasion is fast ebbing. The
fact that a general retreat in this sec
ton is going on is not questioned and
the only question of moment remain
ing to be cleared is the location of the
position at which the enemy will turn
at bay.
Since Saturday there have been i'm
portant changes in the battle line be-
tween Scissors and Rheims. Today it
turns almost directly east from Oulchy-
Le-Chateau to e-En-Tardenoise
then crosses the Ourcq and continues
eastward until it reaches the Dormans
Rheims Road.
It now appears that the Germans
have no defensive positions south of
the Vesle River. There's every indi
cation that the German command has
succeeded in extricating its forces
from the trap. sprung by Gen.. Foch.
AS the situation now stands, the
Germans must be considered to have
suffered a severe defeat north of the
@iarne, but it is not another Sedan.
