Official reports from General
Pershing confirm the crossing of
the Marne by allied troops, Secre-
tary Baker said today, and also the
occupation of considerable territory
north of Chateau Thierry. Details
of the operations, however, are
lacking.
With the American Army on the
Aisne- -Marne Front, Sunday, July
81 NGght.)-(By the Associated
Press. )-South of scissors Ameri-
can troops today advanced two kill
ometers (about l a miles,.
The allied artillery has found the
range of the Soissons Chateau
Thierry railroad, while American
troops are astride the Soissons-Nil-
lers Cotterets railroad. AS a re-
suit there is only one railroad line
in the hands of the Germans south
of a line drawn from scissors to
Reims.
Fighting is Terrific.
Northeast of Belleau and north
west of Chateau Thierry the Amer
leans early Sunday had made an
advance of five kilometers. Some
of the most terrific fighting since
the offensive began occurred be-
tween Givry and Vaux, the Germans
using artillery and machine guns.
The allies troops occupied hill
2O4, commanding Chateau Thierry,
at daylight Sunday and shortly aft
erward were pressing through the
city itself. Progress east and north
by the French and Americans con-
tinued through Sunday.
The Germans north of the Marne
were subjected to a terrible pound
ing from the allied artillery today.
They responded heartily, although

rear lines with telling effect, max

costly.
Enemy Supplies Low.
Prisoners taken near Chateau
Thierry confirmed the soundness OF
General Foch's plan when they de-
clared a German retreat became i'm
perative on account of decreased
supplies. Stores of both ammuni-
ton and foodstuffs were becoming
low, they said, and the officers had
reported that it was practically i'm
possible to resist.
Orders had been issued, the pris-
oners added, to retreat to a point
10 miles north, but the indications
tonight were that the Germans
would not for long be permitted to
remain that close to the Marne, Tor
the allied fianking movement is
steadily. Both the
railroads and the wagon roads over
which the enormous stores for the
German forces must pass are so
menaced as to make them unusable-
Streams of prisoners were being
taken to the rear all day Sunday.
Since Thursday the Americans have
captured German soldiers repre-
senting 10 different divisions.
