American missies have been return- j

inferno. Gas in large quantities was

with their tits masks adjusted, were l(
virtually unharmed by the noxious
fumes. A kindly switch in the wind
at one time even turned hack the gas
against the enemy. The French al- (J

During the hiatus in the fighting
on the Soissons-Rheims sector the (
Germans are believed to be moving |
their main bodies northward to the j
positions thev have chosen for a
t?
stand, and doubtless the German
crown prince is endeavoring hastily
to reconstitute as well as he mav.

badlv shattered armies.

An inkling of what the Germans
have lost in men made prisoners and
guns captured by the allies has be
come public through an utterance of (
the French premier at a session of (
the ministerial council at which General
Foch was made a marshal of ^
France. "Thirty-five thousand pris
oners and 70ft cannon have been f
captured." said the premier, who

The French north of Montdldier (|
have crossed to the west side of the

Avre river between Reaches and .
Morlsel. Here a faily deep penetra- (
