ENTENTE ALLIED VICTORY
 GROWS IN MAGNlT TUpG

Paris, Aug. 3.-The latest news from the Soissons Rheims front shows that the entente allied victory is growing swiftly in magnitude It is signioi- cant that Paris refrains from eXul- tation, but watches with feyerSh m- terest for every scrap of news, hay ing learned that the progress of events is always ahead of the oonseryauN ~ official communications.
 Particular significance is attributed by commentators to the crumbl.ng ot the right pivot of the German posi- tions in the region Of Soissons which opens up great possibilities and plo- vokos speculation as to where the Germans will be able to re-organize their defense.
 The comment generally dwells on the fact that this is real entente vic- tory with French and Scotch forces under General Mangin. with Ameri- cans under General DeGoutte and with English and French troors under Gea- eral Berthelot
 Military critics now look Tor the retirement of the German crown prince to the Chemin des Danes where he probably will endaavor to re- establish his line.

There seemed no suggestion of disorder, yet this sort of thing was happening along the entire forty miles of front between So ssons and Rheims. save that III places the roar and smoke of guns was obliterating the quiet cinema ei- feet of the scene before us.
 The crushing pressure of Petaln D troops about those of the crowu prince had been so admirably timed that if the salient had not broken m one place it would have in another. Soissons, for example, the fall of which yesterday came as so joyous l. surprise, had been undermined by the most gallant capture of Buzancy by the famous Scottish division on July 30, an exploit that won General Man gins approval

distance of from three to four miles on front of thirty miles.
 "On the east flank on the heights
 west of Rheims, our advance was finally on four mile front for dis . tance of about one mile.
 "Our line last evening ran nearly
 parallel to the valley of the com bined Vesle and Ardre rivers and the
 distance from where we are to their | positions, which Is a more or less
 natural defensive position, is only q little more than six miles. "The perimeter of this gradually diminishing salient has nov come down to 4S miles on August 9 from 74 miles at the start. The depth of the enemy's retirement Is now 16 miles.
 During this advance. beginning with the counter offensive we have had eight United States divisions, now engaged. First. Second, Third, Fourth, Twenty sixth, Twenty eighth, Thirty second and Forty second. We have located definitely the troops which were engaged against the Fourth Prussian guards. They were the Forty second division the Rainbow division. The object of our forces Is still the enemy's army, and the success of the ad- vance Is indicated by the confiden- tial cablegram, which 1 am going to read to you:
 "'An officer of General Muir's (2Sth) division just returned from Fere en Tardenois reports that it does not seem possible for an army to have gathered as many guns and as much ammunition as the Germans abandoned iii their retreat, which had been so nasty that they had not time to bury their dead. The ground was so covered with corpses that it was impossible to advance without walk advance of the 2Sth division had been extremely rapid in spite of the fact that their position was some dis tance from the nearest railroad. "In connection with the american forces abroad there has been some discussion about the proportion oi the forces which is brigaded with the British and l will say that General Pershing has in his own area, as his own force, not brigaded with the British over one million.
 "The number of men embarked during the month of July, just closed, was over 300,0O0. That breaks the record: the previous high record was in the preceding month, when we reached 276,000. The number of men embarked to France is now over 100000"
 It was in reply to questions that General March revealed that the American first army corps under General Liggett is operating as unit on the sector southeast of Fere- en- Tardenois. He also said the 35th division has replaced the 32nd divi- sion on the Swiss frontier.
 General March refused to reveal the identity of the combatant unit sent to Italy saying he did not think the unit had been identified by the enemy. So far as has been reported, this unit has not yet actually entered the firing, the general said.

 General March, chief of staff, had difficulty in his conference with the newspaper men in concealing his ella tion over the decisive defeat admlnio tered to the enemy. H announced that General Pershing now had more than a million men under his direct command "in his own area" presum- ably he referred to the section of the front north of Verdun to the Swiss border where American troops have been rapidly taking over the line fro mthe French. The first army corps, first of the major tactical American units to be formed, prob ably represents the mobile reserve to- be contributed by General Pershing to the pooled reserves plan and is count ed as a part of the million men.
 There are eight divisions of Amer jeans, or in the neighorhood of 300,- 900 men now in the fighting zone where the great battle Is going for ward and General March pointed out that General Liggett has set his head quarters in the center of the line where his six divisions are assem- bled, together with two additional di- visions.
 General Llggett is the first Amer ican officer to command a wide sec tion of the front and to his lot hae fallen the advance that has broken the back of the German effort to halt HIS lD6 Mltulu Lu6 bdbcA1s
 General March again rescribed the objective of the American and allied drive as "the other army" It was apparent that he expected 1t to Do pressed vigorously and efforts would be made to destrop a5 much of the crown princess fighting force as pos- sible. Hhe read a cabled report snow ing that vast quantities of guns, am munition and war material had been captured and that the German dead around Fere-en- -Tardenois carpeteu the ground.
 The principal portion of General March's statement follows:
 "When I spoke to you last on "Wednesday, the two opposing lines had been nearly stationery and en- gagged in more or less desperate ftght ing during July 30 and S1. Since that time, blows on both Hanks were resisted by the Germans, until on August 1, heavy attacks by the Brit ish and French on the Chaudun pla- teau, south of Soissons, end further southeast around Deugneux, bent back the enemy's line at this point for a distance something like two miles.
