 OF THEIR OWN
American First Field Army Withdrawn from Battle Front; Sent Elsewhere
 for Action.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-charac- terizina the German retrograde move ment as general retreat on 1oo- mile front from Arras to near Rheims Gen. March today pointed out that the German lines are now 60 miles from Paris at their nearest point, as compared with 40 miles on July 18th, when the Americans checked the German advance In the famous Battle of the Marne.

GREAT WORK OF YANKEES
 IN AIsNE REGION IS DONE

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS, Sept. 7.-The outstanding event of the week on the American front has been the passage of the vesIe river and tho carrying of the line forward to the borders of the Aisne river.
 Already, by sheer force of strat- egy, Gen. Manoin's Army has dis placed some thirty miles of the ene- my's front, and is removing the Ger man forces at one extremity almost a third of that distance, Northward along the German communications.
 The Germans now have to fear an even more complete stratesieai disturbance, than any which has gone before.
 The French forces have possessed themselves of the plateau North ward of AIette river on one eide and reached the ravine at vauxiIiion on the other side, which gives them command of a wide section.
 Seeing that they have penetrated the line which the Germans had almost come to considering as . Ger man frontier, 1t is no wonder the enemy is sacrificing men and guns and morale in their desperate at tempts to gain even a brief breath. ing spell, in an effort to get into action some of their fresh allotments of reserves.

Were Also Made to Believe That Vast Quantities of Captured Stores Would

LONDON, Sept. 7.-The Cologne Gazette planes the official German News Agency, the Wulff Bureau, for the manner in which the German people have taken the defeat of the Teutonic forces to heart.
 The Gazette says that the Bureau instead of allowing the facts to speak for themselves, aroused among the people the impression that the enc mics of Germany would never be able to recover from the terrific blows dealt them, and that 1t needed only one extra supreme effort to ac- compIish their utter defeat.
 The paper says the people were told that immense supplies of cloth ing and rubber and copper and other supplies captured in Russia and Northern Italy would be enough to keep them for year at home. There fore they became distrustful and disappointed when asked to part with their clothing and door handles and metals and other necessary arti- cles to cover urgent military needs.
