YANKEES WIN LAuRELS
Withdrawal Of German Forces to the
VesIe River Has Been Expected
Since Americans Outfought
Crack Foe Divisions.

Washington, Aug. 2.-In the Aisne-
Marine salient the German armies ap-
parent1y are again on the retreat. The
American thrust in the center of the
line at Seringes already has produced
results.
The Paris statement showed that
the Allied forces had leaped forward
on the German TANKS on both sides,
Indicating to observers here that the
withdrawal to the Vesle was in full
swing. },..... ,..... ,... -
This has been expected by officers
since the American divisions outfought
crack German divisions in terrific con-
fiicts which began Saturday. The enc
my made every effort to hurl the
Americans back across the Ourcq, but
he failed. His picked troops fought
to the death, reports from all sides
indicated, but the fierce attack of the
Americans was not to be denied and
the positions which broke the back
of the German line on this front were
consolidated.
Foe Loses on East Of Salient.
With magnificent gallantry, British
and French forces took full advantage
of the situation. The enemy was
hurled off Chalmont Butte in a dash
ing assault by Franco-British units and
to the east the French also hammered
at his line. The report shows that
it was made untenable and that French
and British have made rapid progress.
in exploiting the success. -
The fact that 600 prisoners were TAX
en- in one part of the action indicated
that the retreat was more precipitate
than it has been for the last few days.
This was viewed as further evidence
that the enemy was withdrawing un-
der pressure and gave new hopes that
his lines along the Vesle would not be
fully prepared when the Allies arrived
before them.
Official reports to the War depart
ment were belated and staff officers re-
ceived eagerly the official statements
carried by the press.
First news of the new victories came
from London. The Berlin statement
confirmed them, however, even be-
fore Paris has laid claim to additional
ground taken. The German statement
that fighting had taken place along the
sector, which, it was later shown. their
troops had been forced to give up, was
sufficient admission to officers here
who were fully prepared for the Paris
report.
Aside from the gains in territory
made in the Allied counter drive, off,
Gals believe it had already served it's
greatest purpose in proving to the Ger
man army that it is not invincible.
