CRv Review Leased Wire,

In their violent attacks on the thirty mile battle front running from SOis- sons eastward to the region northwest of Rheims, the German armies are continuing to force back the French and British on nearly every sector
 The fortified town Of Soissons. the extreme left flank of the allied battle line. has been occupied by the enemy, although the French are still holding tnaciously to it's western environs. through which emerge the railway lines leading to Paris and COmpeigne.
 Claim 25,ooo Prisoners
 According tO the German official communication. 25,O0O prisoners among them a French and British gen. eral. have been taken and numerous additional towns and vantage points along the front have been captured.
 Seemingly Rheims. like SoissOns. also is doomed to fall into the hands of the enemy. as the French war office reports that the troops covering the famous cathedral town which almost daily for several years has been the target for shells of hate from the Ger man guns. have been withdrawn be hind the Aisne canal northwest of the town.
 Wedge IS Miles Deep
 On the sector directly southeast of Soissons the Germans now are fighting relatively twelve miles from where they started their drive Monday frcin Vauxaillon. while further east, near LouDeigne and in the center of Savig- ny. wedges have been driven in 10 ! depth of approximately fifteen miles
 The Germans continually are throw ing fresh divisions into the battle, but the British and French troops are keeping up their tactics of giving ground only when it is impossible longer to hold positions under the tre- mendous pressure of the enemy. Heavy casualties are being suffered by the army of the German crown prince. while the losses of men to the allied forces are described as relatively light
 Americans Make Gains
 Although unofficial reports have mentioned the rushing up of rein frocements from the south. there has as yet been no official statement that General Foch is sending in his re- serves.
 Of almost as great interest as the Aisne battle is the situation around the little town of Cantigny. where the Americans made 9 notable gain m their first solo attack against the Ger mans Tuesday. Numerous counter at- tacks have been launched against the Americans holding Cantigny and the outlying positions. but all of them have met with the same result-faflure and loss of many men killed or wound ed. Evidently the Americans are pre- pared tO dispute 10 the last degree their occupancy of the high grOun1 they have won overlooking the pla- teaus Of Cantigny.
 Unstinted praise has been shOwered upon the Americans by military offi- cers for the dash and daring they showed when they left their trenches and started out in quest of their o5- iectiyes.
 Other Yankee Victories
 Still another defeat has been in- flicted on the enemy by the Amer icans-this time far Co the east. in the Foul sector Here the Germans let loose large quantities of gas near Bremenil and delivered an attack. which the Americans shot to pieces with machine guns. Later. on another sector. under a heavy barrage lire. fourteen Germans managed to invade
