Coucy-le-Chateau northward runs nearly
parallel with that road.
The Germans are thus thrown back
upon the billy forest region OF CoHy for
communication between their troops OPP
Grating on the Disc above the Ailetts
and their troops on the Aisne east Of
Scissors.
Both sides command the Disc with
their artillery. French scouts reconnoi-
tring the stream have found it so for
midsbly defended by machine gun nests
and by artillery behind in the hills all
along from Noyon to Chauny that it will
require considerable work by the heavy
artillery to deal with the situation before
a crossing IN force is attempted.
On the right bank of the Ailette the
Germans are resisting stoutly from a
strong position along the edge OF the
forest OF Coucy. Small parties Of
French have effected a crossing OF the
stream. but no serious effort has yet been
made to establish a position on the OPP
posite bank.
As the situation Is to-day Gen. Mangin
has won an incontestible and substan-
tial victory. Of which there is plenty of
material evidence on, the field, besides
IS. 900 prisoners and three hundred can
non captured, He set out first to drive
the Germans from the plateaux Of An
dignieourt, Nampcel and Carlepont by a
violent thrust northward. then by a
quick facing about toward the east 10
drive them off the heights west OF the
Ailette. thus clearing the south bank OF
the Disc and lending support to the third
army's action in the hills OF Thiescourt.
The programme succeeded in every
form and so rapidly that. though the
enemy may say that he retired unhin-
dered, some OF his stan officers were
Obliged 10 fee in scanty attire. A Ger
man General was seen running from one
OF the exits OF a cavern at the top OF
Mount Cho.sy without boots or sus-
penders. just as French soldiers APP
peared at the other entrance.
The correspondent, who later visited
that cavern. found In 1t other evidences
OF the hastS departure OF the German

German Forces StiIl DaEed.

With the allied forces growing hourly
stronger in man power and gun power
and with the German forces still dazed
from the repeated blows they have re-
ceived. the idea OF attempting another
major offensive at this juncture would
be next TO suicide unless some miracle
OF untoward event happens in the course
OF the struggle. Apparently the only
logical course for the Germans to pursue
is the one which Is being pursued. namely
to attempt to stem the tide OF the allied
advance and bring the fightins TO a dead
lock

establishing II temporarily-the supreme
peace effort of the war may he expected,

Of this peace drive are not being under

believe apparently that the country
should be warned in advance OF the
dangers of this peace effort.
