SUMMARY OF The WAR
(By Associated Press.)

Forced to a realization of impend.
ing peril by the progress of the Brit.
ish southeast of VaIenciennes and the
French and Americans, south of
Sedan, Germany's shattered armies
are in rapid retreat from the 5elqian
frontier to the Aisne river. So rapid
is the retirement that it is difficult
to determine the exact location of the
eontendina forces along these IS
miles Of front.
PUSHED BACK EVERYWHERE.
British forces have cleared the bar
rier of Normal forest and threaten
20 drive = wedge between Mons and
Maubeuae. To the south the French
have launched an attack that has
forced the enemy back from 3 to q
miles while along the Mouse the
Americans, in close cooperation with
the French just TO the westward, have
overcome Stubborn resistance by the
enemy and moved still nearer the
Sedan-L -Lonsuyon railroad.
NOT AN ORDERLY RETREAT.
There is evidence that the Germans
are not carrying out the orderly re-
treat that marked their retirement
from the Marne and Somme saIients.
Batteries of field guns, with horses
attached, have been captured and a
vast quntity of munitions which could
be moved quickly under ordinary cir
eumstanees has fallen into the hands
Of the allies.
GHENT SOON TO FALL.
To the north, Ghent is closely in
vested by the r french Belgian and
British troops. The fighting there 10
apparently between German rear
guards an dths allied forces, for civil
Iians are said TO be close behind the
lines, and Queen Elizabeth of Bel
GUM watched the beginning of the
assault against the city.
BACK TO NAMUR LINE.
The line of the SeheIdt is no longer
any protection TO the enemy in Bel
GUM. II has been crossed everywhere
from Client to vaIenoiennes and it is
probable that allied troops have been
flung across the canal north of Client.
Between Client and Brussels there
is no great natural obstacle, except
the Denare river, which will aid the
Germans in conducting defensive OPP
erations and il seems probable that
the enemy will not turn at bay un-
til he reaches the Namur- Brusseis.
Antwerp line, which is said 20 have
been prepared for a grim struggle.
SEDAN UNDER AMERICAN FIRE.
American forces north of VerdUn
have crossed the Meu5s at three
places and have gained ground on the
east side oftke rive~. Thia advance
is most important, for It threatens the
line at . new point
and removes from the Germans the
of having position on the
flank of the American forces advance
ina northward on the western side of
the stream. Sedan must be under
artillery fire from tho medium caIiber
American guns.
