Paris, July 20. (10:30 a. m.)-French
and American artillery is subJecting the
entire Soissons-Rheims salient, with
in which 400, 900 Germans are con-
c%entrated, to the most terrific bonn
bardment Of the war.
Hundreds Of thousands Of shells OF
all calibers are being hurled upon
troop concentrations, ammunition and
supply depots and lines Of comnuni-
cation from the battle front to the
rearmost areas.
This deluge Of fire and steel is being
directed particularly at Fere- En-Tar-
denois, the important German concen-
tration center which is now almost
within grasp Of the Franco-American
troops.
Missy Sur-Aisne, five miles east OF
Scissors, also is under heavy bonn
bardment. rendering practically useless

the Germans have been using for north
and south traffic. r-J4..
The crown prices order commanding
his armies to sand and fight, which
was reported Wednesday by the United
Press, has changed the Scissors
Rheims battle from a German retreat
into one of the most bitterly contest
ed engagements of the war-an one
with more far reaching possibilities
than could have existed under an
enemy retirement.
Voluntary retirement of the German
armies TO the Ourcq line or even TO
the Vesle would have had n most de-
pressing effect on German morale, but
would have been practically devoid
of strategic results. other than shov-
ing the enemy further from Paris. The
determination Of the boches 70 fight IL

to which the entire group Of the Ger

While the result OF the allied pres

perate German resistance. The most
