Svath Cut by American Soldiers
Marked by Piles of German Dead

Americans who we're to follow their ad-
vancing comrades.
The chauffeurs Of these trucks were
frequently under fire One chauffeur
passed through Missy-aux- Bots, after
supplying the advancing men with
chocolate. just as three German shells
exploded in the wrecked village.
Twenty five minutes after the Franco
American advance began the rattle of
German machine guns could be heard
IN the distance, but il did rot affect
the Americans, who only appeare>.
more eager to progress. The officers
had to caution them not to proceed
beyond the barrage in accordance with
the schedule. The German machine
gun fire continued but short time
and as the Americans could be seen
steadily pressing forward to the east
the rattle dwindled and finally stopped.
Missy uX-bols was deserted BY the
French peasants before the Germans
came, the village having been torn
from end to end by shell fire in pre-
Vlous nehtlng. Not one wall or any
stone buildings are standing.
Three Pigeons Left Behind
The only live thing left in the
village, which is now within the Allied
lines. were three pigeons which roasted
on the fragments of the steeple Of
the village church during the roar of
the battle. They flew around in circles
IN bewilderment, returned to their
roostlng place and then flew around
again
Shortly after the Americans had
passed through the village, going east
ward, the dog mascot of an American
soldier could be seen running through
the ruins and endeavoring to overtake
his master, who had gone ahead.
10 the north and sou h of Missy
aux-Bois are two other deserted vii
lagos, in one of which every building
is in ruins. The fields in this section
are covered with grain ready for the
harvest. Many rusty tools and i'm
plements are standing just where they
were left when the alarm came.
When darkness settled ov&r the bat
tletleld the Americans still maintained
their advance. The guns IN the rear
were pounding away, guarding them
through the night.

Critics Expect Germans
To Strike at New Point

, LONDON, July 20.-What the Ger
mans are going to do on the battle
front from Rheims to the Marine and
TO the Alsne is the question which oc-
cuples most Of the military and edi-
torlal commentators in the morl. ing
newspapers.
While it is conceded that General
Foch's brilliant counterstrokc has de-
prlved the Germans of the initiative
IN the Rheims sector and caused Them
serious damage, it is not universally
assumed that the positions IN that area
can be stabilized without much further
severe fighting Warning is given to
remember how the British surprise ad-
vance at Cambria afterward was coun-
tered by the Germans.
On the other hand the Vow ,kat the
enemy cannot do much narm between
the Aisne and the Marine has its repre-
sentatives, and these look for the with
drawal of the Germans from south of
the Marine to reorganize their line. A
third speculation refers 10 the proba-
bllity of the enemy striking a fresh
violent blow in some other direction, in
which case, it is assumed generally,
the attack will fall on the British
armies.
1t is recognized everywhere that the
Germans have the power to concen-
trate strength for thrust that will
tax the Allied defence TO the utmost.
Notwithstanding their losses, the Ger
mans are believed to have at their dis
posal at least forty divisions, and un-
til these ar. beaten the situation Of
the Allies must, it is .ontended, be
one of suspense and anxiety, atfording
nc ground for over-elation or excessive
confidence

Panorama of Ruin Spread
In Wake of Foes Retreat
Waving Wheathelds Uttered With Abandoned Equipment,
With Dead Germans Everywhere, and in the
Distance the Roar Of Guns
By Fred S. Ferguson

by Untted Press StnT CorrespondenD
WITH THE AMERICANS ALONG
THE SOISSONS-PAR1S ROAD, NEAR
MlssY-Aux-BoIs might, July 49,.
"A vast plateau covered with waving
wheat, marked by new, \dusty roads,
helmets, guns. battered \equipment,
heaps of dead Germans and scattered
American dead, with rifle butts stand
lnP up above the wheat where bayonets
had been thrust in the ground to mark
where others of our heroes lie-such
is the battle-ground over which the
Americans advanced southwest Of Sois-
sons. (Missy-aux- Bots is six miles
southwest of Soissons.)
| crossed the battlefield this after
noon, upon which the Americans we're
advancing. German shells broke in
Missy-aux-Bois and along the road,
which was damned with wagons,
horses and men. They were obviously
intended for the road, but always
landed in the wheat field adjoining.
The crash, flash and smoke were hard
ly noticed by the men and horses as
they bent to the grim business Of
making war.
Full Packs on Backs
Meantime ahead Of us the Ameri-
cans were advancing | could see the
second wave or moppers- up-I was
unable to distinguish Notwithstanding.
They walked along as easily as though
merely answering a call for quarters.
Through my glasses | could see they
carried full packs, ready to dig them
selves into their new positions.
Just behind them was big tank.
but apparently it was not in action.
The zero hour was $3.50. The barrage
started on the minute. The men stimuli
taneously left the holes they had dug
IN the midst of the wheat, marching
steadily toward the Boches.
The shells forming the barrage broke
in steady, straight line ahead. the
smoke cloud slowly advancing. a line
of trees along the Soissons-P Paris road
interfered with my view of the first
wave, but | knew the boys were max
ing new history.
BY 6 o'clock the Boche artillery was
becoming more active, while in slight
depression just behind me long line
of American field guns were pounding
away with an ear-splitting roar, send
ing over the barrage. Further in the rear
our heavies were hurting shells that
tore by with horrible screeches, bound
for the German rear areas
Wires Stretched Quickly
Back at headquarters l knew reports
we're coming in every moment, as the
signal corps stretched wires close be-
hind the advancing infantry.
AS the barrage reached the crest Of
rise the heavies took up the argu-
ment more intcnsively.
To reach the point from which wit
messed the battle it was necessary to
PASS over more than three kilometres
"a mile and three quarters) of ground
captured by the Americans yesterday.
imagine yourself in an automobile
passing over roads almost as peaceful
as those you know back home. But
az you progress soldiers become more

you to slow down constantly and TO
run into the ditch to avoid collision.

I ling their feet from the rear, or lying
side by side on the stretchers. A boy
you know dashes by on a motorcycle,
waves, and disappears in the midst of
the traffic.
The road becomes more damned.
There are miles and miles Of NOV
ing, seething mass of men, horses,
motor trucks and guns. You wind up
hills and through forests. Sausage
balloons are visible along the skyline
and airplanes wheel overhead. Then
more congestion. Meantime the boom
ing Of guns falls on you ears.
French Cavalry Ready
You ride from the hills onto an open
plain and wind about through wheat
fields. Beneath slight rise French
cavalrymen stand awaiting the call to
go into action. Their long glimrer-
ing lances are stuck in tho ground
beside their horses. The men lie
about on the ground resting.
Around another turn and you are in
Coeuvres. Not a house in the town
is intact. The Boches were there two
days ago. Roofs are torn off. walls
are shattered and Jagged spires stand
like accusing fingers, pointing upward
Waving wheat lines the roadside. The
barking of field guns becomes more
distinct.
Topping rise you can see the
flashes. Then the real wreck of war.

pears. A narrow. shallow trench ex.
tends away from the roadside. 1t is
the line the Americans held yesterday
morning. In wheatfield stand the
skeletons Of three trees. Beside the
road Is scattered abandoned equip
ment, rifles, grenades and smashed
machine guns.
Wandering through the wheat are
Americans and Frenchmen, searching
for their dead. The bodies Of Boches
up, but the chauffeur swerves sharply
to avoid running over the body of a
Boche officer.
Field Guns Barking
Just ahead is long line of field guns

In machine gun emplacement are two
dead Boches in a half sitting position.
The machine gun has been removed but
scattered clips tell the tale of how they
fired on the advancing Americans until
they were killed. Before the emplace-
ment are few American dead. But
every man fell facing the enemy. Just
to the rear of the emplacement is a
sunken road. which the Boches used as
trench filled with dead, singly and
piled two and three on top Of each
other.
Reaching the battery position, you
leave the car and walk across a she'll

the Allies are still sweeping forward,
rolling up the German armies between
the Aisne and the Marne.-
Their advance has reached a depth of
eleven XII ometres (nearly seven miles)
at some points.
The withdrawal of the Germans south
of the Marine is being hampered by
American and French artillery bar
RACES, which are trained in successive
walls of fire from the enemy positions
to, the river and beyond. The river
front is becoming a holocaust for the
Boche troops. Many German detach
ments have hurled themselves at the
Allied bayonets rather than face the
terrible barrages in their rear. Small
groups Of the Germans have broken
through into the woods, but these are
oeing rapidly hunted down and exter-
ainated
The net result of the German push
losses along the entire front. Whole
German divisions have been broken up.
The important railway from Sois-
sons TO Chateau Thierry is now domi-
,ated by the French and American ar
rlllery. which is dropping shells over
it on a wide front. This is a serious
low to the enemy, this railway being
us principal means of communication
u this region.
The Franco American troops have
reached the 1Soissons-C chateau Thierry
Highway at a point about ten kRo-
metres south of scissors Gust north
If Hartennes). Further advances have
been made on the line east of Melloy
Wood, st. Remy- Blanzy, Ncui lly-St.
ront and Licy-Clignon "a front of

The German losses are constantly
mounting The number Of prisoners is
growing faster than they can be count
I'd passed full mile Of German
prisoners, four abreast, marching to
he rear under guard of Frenc.a and
American soldiers.
Of the prisoners were marching a
yard apart, as usual, they would total
more than 1000. This is in addition
to the 10000 reported to nieht.)
This afternoon the Americans capt
ured nearly 100 Boches, including sew
eral officers, in big cave near Sois-
