GREAT STORES OF
 AMMUNITION FOUND

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE MARNE-AISNE FRONT, July 29.-(By The Associated Press)-The tremendous stores of German ammuni- tion found by the Franco American
 troops in the forests of Fere and Rig
 leads officers to believe that the allied offensive nipped in the bud German plans for a momentous drive upon Ep- ernay.
 The forests and the surrounding country north of the Marne were Vir-
 tually one great arsenal for German ammunition of all kinds. big shells be- ing particularly numerous. At places
 on the edges of the woods there were large shells stacked like cord wood over large areas.
 Thousands of these shells were in tended for the German 210 millimeters
 guns, only a few of which had been captured Officials assume that the
 Germans withdrew many of these guns
 and that others intedded for the great
 drive had not yet arrived when the al- lied offensive began.

MANG|N'S army
IN Fierce FIGHT
NORTH OF OURCQ
Allies Capture Heights 0
Grand Rozoy and Are With
in Five Miles of BazoCheS
Railroad.

With the French Army in France,
Aug. 1.-General Mangin, with the
French and British troops OF his conf
mand, is fighting severe battle north
of the Ourcq river and is making con-
siderable progress.
After taking the village of Grand
Rozoy, northwest of Fere-en-Tarde-
nois, the allied troops advanced to
the Plessiere wood, where the COM
batants are in the closest of grips
and the combat is extraordinarily
fierce. The heights north of Grand
Rozoy have fallen into the hands of
the allies and at several points the
allied troops have approached within
FIVE miles of the railroad leading to
Bazoches, which is the only railroad
that can be used by the Germans for
maintaining communications.
With the fall of darkness to-
night fighting continued between the
allies and the Germans on the west
ern side of the Soissons-Rheims sail
ent. Allied observers reported that
bodies of Germans were fleeing pre-
cipitately northward along the road
leading from Launoy, which lies about
midway between Scissors and Fere-
en-Tardenois.

GERMANS
AGAIN IN
RETREAT
Withdrawal to VeSIe Made Nee.
essaryby American Thrust,
Followed by French and
British Attacks.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The
German armies apparently
again are on the retreat in the
Aisne-Marne salient. The
American thrust in the center
of the line at Seringes already
has given results. The Paris
statement tonight showed that
the allied forces had leaped
forward on the German flanks
on both sides, indicating to OBJ.
servers here that the with
drawal to the Vesle was in full
swing.
This has been expected by officers
here since the American divisions out
fought crack German divisions in ter
rife conflicts which began Saturday.
The enemy made every effort to hurl
the Americans back across the Ourcq,
but he failed.
Enemy's Back Broken.
His picked troops fought to the
death, reports from all sides indicate,
but the fierce attack of the Americans
was not to be denied and the posi-
tons which broke the back of the
German line on this front were con-
solidated.
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 ham
mered at his line. Tonight's report
shows that it was made untenable and
that French and British have made
rapid progress in exploiting the sue
cess.
The fact that 800 prisoners were
taken in one part of the action indi-
Gated that the retreat was more pre-
cipitate than it has been for the last
few days. This was viewed as further
evidence that the enemy was with
drawing under pressure and gave new
hopes that his lines along the Vesle
would not be fully prepared when the
allies arrive before them.
Germans Taught New Lesson.
Aside from the gains in territory
made in the allied counter drive. Of
fcers believe it has already served its
greatest purpose in proving to the
German army that it is not invincible.
Its best troops have been thrown in
recklessly and fought with utter hero
ism without avail.
1t is a new lesson for the German
army, many officers say. There is no
thought that it will sap the morale OF
the enemy forces, but fltering back
through the fighting men to the
people at home will go new concep-
ton, it is said-a feeling that Ger
many's best is not sufficient for the
task it has set itself.

DRAFT AGE
EXTEN SION
IS SOUGHT
Limits Not Announced, but
War Department Officials
Prefer to Take Youths
Of 19 and 20.

Washington, Aug. War depart
ment recommendations for enlarging
the army and for the extension Of
draft age limitations in order to pro-
vide new reservoirs of man power to
back UP the forces already at the front
will be laid before congress next week.
Members of the two military commit
tees have been recalled to Washington
by the chairmen in order to expedite
the bill.
In an announcement following a
conference with Chairman Dent OF the
house committee that his increased
army project was virtually ready, Sec
retary Baker would not say what age
limits had been settled upon, nor in
dicate in any way the size of the
army which he is planning.
Chairman Dent was even more reti-
cent, but said he was willing to go
either up or down in extending age
limits of the draft, to win the war.
"My personal preference is to go
up FIRST" he added.
10 to 40 Limits Considered.
The only specific information re-
garding the new age limits to be
drawn from Mr.. Baker was a state
ment that the limits of l9 to 40 had
been among the suggestions can
vassed, but rejected. In many quar-
ters it is believed extension to the
ages of 10 and Sc will be recon-
mended.
The reluctance of many members Of
congress to 20 lower than the q limit
is still apparent, although there is evi-
dence of strong sentiment toward
carrying the maximum up as high as
IS. There is no doubt, however, that
War department officials would pre-
fer to draw on the classes of l9 and
20-year-old youths to fill the ranks
and see no decided military advantage
to be gained from any considerable
extension upward.
Army of 100000 in View.
There are now upwards of 100000
American troops either overseas or
en- route. Secretary Baker said today
the shipment rate of the early part OF
July had been maintained throughou
the month, although he did not have
available the total shipment.
Under the 250,000 month sugges-
ton and without mishap to the sup.
ply line, October should see 100000
Americans overseas and the opening
of the spring campaign of 1919, when
many officers believe the final scenes
of the German defeat will begin in a
great combined drive against the Ger
man lines, might easily see 100000
ready for action, with another force of
substantially 100000 organized at
home. That would represent the army
of 100000 men for which, in gen.
eral way, the War department may be
aiming.

Aviators report that the Germans
are rushing up reinforcements, in
cluding tanks. The enemy's heavy
guns are pounding the Nesles and
Meuniere woods numerically.
Massed in Forests.
Observers and prisoners who had
been brought behind the lines pre-
viously reported the forests as hav-
ing been jammed with German troops
and also with large quantities of sup
plies. The German losses in men,
therefore, must have been very great
as the heavy guns started sheiling the
woods several days ago.
The allied troops continued today
to encounter barbed wires. Between
Seringes and Sergy there were woven
fields of wire entanglements. At
creek crossings and in the valleys the
German machine gunners held their
commanding positions until the heavy
guns OF the French and Americans
blasted a way through the wire and
ousted the enemy from his positions.
Some of the enemy machine gunners
stuck to their posts under terrific fire
till they were killed.
Artillery Commands Chamery.
The American heavy artillery COM
mands the village of Chamery north
east of Sergy, the Americans having
wrested the hill beyond the last
named village from the Germans in
battle lasting for hours. The lines
swayed back and forth many times.
but the Americans eventually pushed
the Germans back. This fighting was
i'll the open and the American in
fantrymen showed great courage.
To the north OF Cierges the Ameri-
cans also advanced their line. The
fight began early Thursday for the
possession of a farm from which the
Americans swept away the Germans.
North of Sergy the Americans crossed
wheat fields that had been planted by
French peasants, the crop of wheat
having been partially garnered by the
Germans. What remained of the
wheat was recovered by the Ameri-
cans.

$50 far as that is concerned we
must be in position to determine
the conditions which we regard as
fair, without having them imposed
upon US by the will of the enemy.
"If he goe on fighting, imposing

Northwest of Fere the entire eli

Ourcq has been blotted out, making
the line straight one from Fere to

better ground over which to work In
further outhanking scissors on the
southeast and for pressing on toward
Fismes in conjunction with troops
now holding strategic points north

Advance Two Miles.
In this fighting the allied troops
drove out the Germans who had been
tenaciously holding positions between
Plessier Hulas and the river and took
the high ground north of Grand
Rozoy, pressed on past the village
of Beugneux and arrived before the
villages of Cramoiselle and Cramaille,
The general advance was about two
miles, and 900 Germans we're made
prisoners.
The most important gain. however,
was on the upper western point OF
the Nv" southeast of Fere. Here
the village of Cierges and the Meu.

which places the Germans at the bot

mans, if they should endeavor to
make their way rlorthward, their only
avenue of escape, by an enhlad-
ing fire. Through the capture of the
Meuniere wood the width of the ''N''
from the fringes of the forest to
Romigny on the east has been cut
down relatively to four miles.
AS has been the case during the
last week, the Germans contested
stubbornly the advance OF the allied
troops, but to no avail.
Prisoners Number $4,000.
Since the battle of the Marne began
July Is. the allied troops have taken
more than $4,000 German prisoners.
From July IS to July 81, the prisoners
captured by the allies numbered 49,
400, the French war Office statement
last night announced.
Just what part the American
troops played in Thursdays battle
has not yet been unfolded, but they
doubtless were in the center of the
battle front and in the thick of the
fray. Between Seringes and Cierges.
respectively northeast and southeast
of Fere, they are known to have made
goodly gains over a four-mile front
and to have pushed further beyond
Sergy and reached within mile and
half of the village of Chamery.
British Front Bombarded.
On the British front in France and
Flanders the bad weather has ceased
and the sun is fast drying the muddy
ground. The Germans are lombard

Field Marshal ,Haig's men, who in
turn are answering the FIRE OF the

According to the claims Of Vienna.
the Austrian troops in Albania have
compelled the Italians to give up
considerable portion of the ground
they won in the recent fighting. It
is asserted by the Austrian war Office
that the Italians are being pursued
by the Austrians.
