American Strength

Londor's Comment

LONDON, Aug 3.-The advance of
the entire Allied line in the SCISSORS
Rheims salient is commented on here
with citation, although not without re-
rinders that the Allies still have u
long way to go. Official and other dis
patches are regarded as revealing a
tran formed siJuatic2. coinciding with
the arrival Of American detachmcnts so
strong rs to give Che Allies a numerical
advantage IN reserves, and justitying
high hope for the future.
The altered situation is attributed to
the main facts, namely. that the Amcri-
can streng h is beginning TO tell With
great effect, and that the Allies are
reaping an increasing advantage from
unity of command. General Foch's skill
receives many tributes. but none
warmer than tnat gwen N a speech al
Belfast by Viscount French, former
British commander in France. who de-
scrbes General Noch as the finest sol
der the war had produced. adding:
lie has given an exhibition of mill
tary genius which probably will cause

manders."
The newspapers devote much space

Pershing Gets Cross
OF Legion of Honor

PARIS, Aug. 3.-Gencral John j.
Pcrshing, commander-in- chief of the
American Expeditionary Forces in
France, was to-day awarded the
Grand Cross of the Legion OF Honor
by the French government.
Premier Clemcnceau sent the fol-
lowing telegram to General Perish
ing:
II take great pleasure IN inform
ing you, my dear general, that the
government Of the French Republic
has decided to confer upon you the
dignity of the Red Cross of the
Legion Of Honor. The government
desires to recognize by this distinc-
tlcn the eminent qua tiles that you
have displayed and the remarkable
services rendered by you in or
ganizing so promptly and efficiently
the American forces in France.
France shall never forget that 1t
was at moment when the struggle
was most bitter that your splendid
troops came to add their efforts to
ours. This cross shall be the SYM
boI of our gratitude"

Coulonges were passed at bound. The
forest Of Nes.es was cleaned out and
the Dole Wood entered. Arcy Wood
was but mouthful. On the west the
troops carried on to Mast ct Violaine,
Chacrise and Septmonts. BY mid-after-
noon the Allies were established solid
ly on the heights on both SIDES of the
Crise; that is 20 say, south and south
east Of Soissons
The fall Of Scissors, which the
Germans were obliged to evacuate. in
reyocaby decided the fate of the
battle. 1t was the pivot of the whole
German line. Even admitting that the

forces on the easterly side Of the Sois-
sons Rheims front 70 the line of Gueux
and Thillois. 1t is pointed to as serv-
ing the double object of protecting
Rheims and placing the Allies in po-
sition to cripple still further the al
ready badly crowded Germans in their
retreat toward the Vesle.
The northward movement Of the Ger
mans has now reached such point
that the reopenihg Of the Chalons-
Rheims railroad is assured.
The news received tonight that Sois-
sons had been entered was greeted
with rejoicing by che French and
Americans on the line to the southeast,
who felt confident that their own line
would be pushed forward and straight
ened out speedily on the front to the
north of Coulongcs and Arcy-St. Res

That the consequence Of yesterday s

I he enemy cannot ho.d the Vcsle line

Aisne, since, by the rccapture of
Seasons, the Allied forces are able to

take him in the rear. The enemy APP
pears to be perfectly aware of this
and also Of the necessity Of getting
out quickly if he wishes to avoid IN
I pleasant accidents. H. accordance with
! practice, he already has set fire to the
/ bases at Fismes and Braisnes and Il
dozen other villages. The smoke which

use these places.
The German retreat began Friday
