The Germans are in retreat all
along the entire front north Of the
Marne river. Entrapped last week in
the Soissons-Rheims salient, an en-
emy force estimated at 100000 has
been necessarily hammered by the
American, French and British forces,
necessitating it's retirement to avert
determination.
The German crown prince and his
generalS are extricating their troops
from dangerous positions as best they
may Reports from French headquar-
ters state that the Germans are car
rying out extensive preparations for
the evacuation of all the territory be-
tween the Marne and the Ourcq riv-
ers.
Allied patrols already have reached
and crossed the Ourcq and penetrat-
ed the town Of Fere-en-Tardenois, one
of the enemy's great supply bases.
Meantime, on the center of the al
lied right wing southwest of Rheims,
violent attacks by the French have
forced the enemy to give further
ground and enabled the French to
capture several towns and to draw
their front apprecNbly nearer the
highroad which runs northeastward
from Dormans to Rheims.
On the extreme wings Of the grad
ually decreasing pocket, near Sois-
sons and Rheims, the enemy, heavily
reinforced, is holding tenaciously 70
his ground, realizing that successes
there would result in general crum-
bling of his plans of defense against
the locking up of his entire armies
inside the big bag. In addition to the
large number Of troops for reinforce
ment that have been thrown on these
two sectors, the German long-range
guns from the region north of Sois-
sons and north and northeast OF
Rheims are keeping both wings Of
the salient under heavy enfilading
fire.
Where the Germans are IN retreat
from the south the cavalry has been
brought into the fighting and numer-
GUS tanks and machine guns in pro-
fusion are everywhere harrying the
enemy, whose losses are heavy.
Meantime airplanes are flying over
the retreating hordes dropping
bombs, while the big allied guns from

Since the beginning of the great
allied counter offensive an advance
of more than IL miles has been made

NIGHT AND DAY IN LONDON
Toilers Work Along Just the Same
Through All Hours, Making Mu-
nitions of War.

The war seems to have done away
with the difference between night and
day. The period of rest and the pc
Rod of eXertion seem to have merged
themselves into one long period. I
look out on the river at two or three
in the morning and 1t Is as busy as the
river at midday, writes Grace Boyn-
ton Monks in the Outlook. Barges are
being towed up and down and goods
being shipped from the wharves. Huge
vans rattle along the road beneath my
window and the streets are as full of
people at night as they are In the day
time.
At Woolwich arsenal there are two
12-hour shifts and as much work is
done by night as by day. The other
evening motored from the Manorway
gate of the arsenal to the entrance OF
the danger buildings and returned just
as the night shift was going In to
work. The chauffeur had to go at a
snail's pace, blowing his horn continu-
ally. The broad roads which rur be-
tween the buildings were crowded
sue w Win
ers, principally women. They had to
crowd together at the side of the road
to make room for the car to pass.
These women were going in on a ~
hour night shift-some whose work
would be purely mechanical, others
who would have difficult operations to
perform and many who worked In act
ual danger.
Those who were going to the build
ings from which had just come know
that unless they took the utmost care
there was danger of an explosion, and
had a night and a succession of nights
and days to look forward to when they
would be breathing In yellow powder
In spite of wells and all the precau.
lions the government can provide. I
knew them by their yellow hair and
faces. Occasionally a head In the
vast mob of faces nodded to me or q
hand waved, for have many friends
