ity of them, however, stolidly accept
what they believe to be their fate.
Back of the lines there are Dress
ing stations and fixed hospitals, and
the American wounded are cared for
expedftiously and skillfully in a man
ner rejecting the qualities Of vet
eranship now belonging to the Amer
ican establishments in France. Ameri-
can doctors and nurses. men and
women, are working night and day
to relieve pain and restore injured
members To them young men repre-
sentinE almost every state in the
Union. and occasionally a French or
British soldier, are hurried to be
cared for until they could be trans
ferred elsewhere.
The same spirit of cooperation is
displayed in all the hospitals of the
allies. But the number of wounded
is not SO great as might be expected
from the magnitude of the operations.
Y. M. c. A. men also are close on
the heels of the advancing Ameri-
cans. One outfit appeared at Jaul-
gonne early in the morning with
cigarettes. chocolate and other deli
cacies to be disposed of in their can
teens. The guns were roaring on
all sides, but Jaulgonne. 1t was an

7. NJ. C. A. took charge. The COM
manding officer ordered the 7. NJ.
c. A. men out. explaining not only
that 1t was too hot, but that the men
would gather wherever they were
and German shells had q habit of
going where the German observers

The mouth of the pocket Is now
only twenty-one miles wide. and the
whole distance between the two sides
is under the range of entente allied
guns.
French Push Forward.
The French last night also pushed
well forward along the south bank OF
the river OurcQ, but this morning
they found they were in an isolated
position and they were compelled to
fall back.
East of Rheims a Polish contingent,
attached to the French, made a sue
cessful enterprise and captured 213
prisoners.
(The advance of the British and
French forces along the battle front be-
tween Rheims and the Marne to Gueux
and Mery-Premecy represents a gain Of
about mile and a half along front
of three miles. The town of Gueux lies
to the south Of the River Vesle and is
about five miles directly west of the
Cathedral city. Merry Premecy is a
short distance north of the Fismes-
Pargny railroad and is about ten and
one-half miles southeast of Fismes,
which is In the center of line running
between scissors and Rheims.)
The French are continuing their at
tacks between the River Ourcq and the
River Marne. They advanced last night
for a distance Of a mile, capturing the
southern part of Fere forest, and they
row occupy a farm on the main road
from Fere-en- -Tardenois to Jaulgonne
The town Of Fere-en-Tardenois is now
within 5000 yards Of the French lines.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE AIsNE-MARNE FRONT. July
25.-The American troops both on the
line and on the roads are keen-spir-
tied. Many of them having learned a
smattering of French often yell to
the French marching by amusing
comments on "the big show" Inva-
riably the French reply. usually in
language which the Americans do not
understand. although they shout their
approval, no matter what the words
may mean. The Americans also un-
dertake conversation with the Ana
mites. whose countenances rarely
change and who never attempt to
reply.
Intermingled in the line of battle
and along the roads are white, black
and yellow races in all the units. and
the big machine is moving without
a knock or lost motion. Now and
then the color scheme to the rear of
the fighting lines is broken by q
column of gray-clad prisoners, whose
appearance is always quickly. noticed
by the troops, who are more accus-
toned to the khaki Of the Americans

fearing he would break down.
It developed in the testimony of

Gamble told them he had stolen a

German Positions May Crack

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE. July 20 (morning).-The
entire German position within the
Marne salient is such that 1t may
fall at any instant as the result OF
some sharp forward move by the
allies affecting vital part 1t is
for this reason that the German COM
manders have ordered their men to
hold on at all costs while q defensive
position is prepared upon which the
German armies can fall back.
Day by day the allies. now the
French, now the Americans and now
the British, are encroaching upon the
triangular salient, at some places
making deep dents in the enemy po-
sitions and at others progressing
more slowly.
Communications Bombarded.
Every line of communication with
in the German salient is under bonn
bardment night and day, either from
the allied artillery or airplanes. 1t
is only with the greatest difficulty
and with heavy sacrifices that the
enemy is able to hold on within this
area. All the while. his men are suf-
fering terrible privations. owing to
the uncertainty of obtaining supplies.
In consequence Of the allies COM
manding virtually every road and
every path the fatigued German units
cannot be relieved even when they
are SOrely tried
