~By Associated Press.

With the American Army in
France, Aug. 25.-Reports from vari.
Gus sources say that the Germans are
withdrawing north of the Vesle, ow-
ing to continued pressure along the
French and British fronts.
In the Fismes district the German
artillery fired in a desultory fashion
Sunday and there was no infantry
action except patrol engagements at
few places, Much heavy cannon
aiding has been heard around Sois-
sons.

With the American Forces ON the
Ves1e, Aug. 25.-Prisoners taken near
Chateau Du Diable, west of Fismes,
said they had been ordered to keep
in constant contact with the Ameri-
cans along the Vesle.' The German
retreat north of the Marne was or
derly, they said, and German soldiers
believe it was tactical maneuver to
eliminate an awkward salient.
Advance East of Bazoches.
Washington, Aug. 25.-American

lines slightly east of Bazoches. while
other American units in the Vosges
inflicted heavy losses in the enemy
in repulsing a raid, General PERISH

Task Assigned Americans.
London, Aug. 25.-A week of con-
tinuous allied success closed glorious
ly Saturday, when the British stormed
no fewer than rs important strong
holds.
The significant part of the success
is that the Americans west of Fismes
and south of the Vesle had been lately
assigned to the task of hammering
the German communications within
the north of the Aisne district. They
have been steadily reinforced all the
time. and If their present movement
develops it is likely to have serious
consequences for the Germans, whom
Generals Mangin and Humbert are
outhanking.
While Ludendorff deems it prudent
to retire from this region, his decision
to withdraw to the 1917 line may be
hastened by the Americans.

your kind and stimulating mes
sage" said John J. Pershing, the
American commander in chief in re-
plying today to a message from the

his rank, to face his task with cour-
age. We Americans have this added
inspiration and encouragement that
flows from the example of friend

have been fighting our battles in
fighting their own.
Standing by their side we expect

foundation for world peace.
"The invisible, unconquerable

loyalty to us draws this reciprocal
message of loyalty to you. May we

the British retreat last spring. Then
German officer prisoners were arro-
giant and meant to crush the British

willing to talk and the tenor of their
conversation may be summed up as
follows:
They say Germany entered the
war with enthusiasm, but this has
long since disappeared and the strug-
gle has now become AIN economic one
with Great Britain.
Germany Hopeless.
They admit that Germany is in
practically hopeless condition, both
economically and from the man
power point of view and ask ,yhether
Great Britain cannot now consider
Germany sufficiently reduced to be no
longer a dangerous trade rival or
whether the allies intend to crush her
altogether. In the latter case, they
say, Germany will be forced to fight
to the last. but they make no effort
to conceal their impression of what
this means for the fatherland. They
say they believe there is every dispo-
