with the Army in France.-Franco
american troops, continuing their pres
lure on the Germans in retreat from
the Marne, have reached and crossed
the Oureq river and penetrated thu
town of Fere-en-Tardenois, one of the
great Gennnn supply bases for the
enemy troops inside the scissors
Rheims salient.
Meantime ON the center of the allied
right wing southwest of Rheims violent
attacks by the French have forced the
enemy to give further ground and en-.
abled the French to capture several
towns of strategic value and to draw
their front appreciably nearer the high
road which runs northeastward from
Dormans to Rheims.
The Huns are on the run, but on the
extreme wings of the gradually do
creaslng pocket = near scissors and
Rheims-the enemy, heavily reinforced,
Is holding tenaciously, realizing that
successes there would result in a gem
eral crumbling of his plans of defense
against the locking up of his entire
armies inside the big bag. In addi-
ton to the large number of troops for
reinforcement that have been thrown
on these two sectors, the German long
range guns from the region north of
scissors and north and northeast of
Rheims are keeping both wings of the
salient under heavy enfilading fire.
Under the battering tactics of the
Americans and Frenchmen the German
line on the south has now been driven
Dack more than twelve miles from the
point south of Chateau Thierry, where
the allied troops locked the door to
Paris against the enemy July IS and

Our men have been making q num- |
Der of small raids into German |
trenches. discovering the enemy's
strength and dispositions and doing as
much damage as possible in a short
time. The English, Australian. Canad-
IAN and New Zealand troops have all
Deen taking a share in these grim adj
ventures and nearly every raidine
party brought back a few prisoners.
The line along the greater part of
the bottom of Soissons- Rheims salient
mas been pushed forward in. some
places as much as five miles. The
Germans are bringing into play their
artillery in force to check the plunges
OF the Franco-American troops. The
Americans have played brilliant part
IN the advance, which included .e oc-
cupation Of Sergy, on the north bank
Of the river, and a number of small '
villages.

BIGGEST BATTLE OF WORLD WAR
NOW IN PROGRESS IN WAR;

Hundreds of Cannon and Thou

Paris.-Up to the present seventy
German divisions have been identified
in the present fighting zone, and the
battle, therefore, may be regarded as
the biggest since the beginning of the
war.
The prisoners taken number over
$4,000, and more than 500 cannon and
thousands of machine guns have been
captured.
OF the prisoners, II per cent belong
to the 1919 class, showing that nearly
all these boys already have been incor-
porated in fighting units. If all OF
them have been utilized they would
form from II to Is per cent Of the
German strength.
Information received proves that the
1920 class, which 1t was intended TO
incorporate in the army Of October.
has been ordered into the units In
September. Most of those of this class
are not IS years old.
