Now t appears that as the result the drive winch was commenced c Monday of last week, the Hernial have made almost uninterrupted pr uress to the Maine river, a distance more than twenty-live miles from tl starting point. They have apparent cajitured forty-live or fifty thousat prisoners, innumerable guns and mi itnry supplies of all kinds, and tin are within less than fifty miles Paris. The drive was made over a front < thirty miles, from Koissons on tl west to Uheims on the east, down 'bateau Theirr.v on the Marne to tl soutIt. Soissons was captured early Hie drive, and although the dermal had captured a number of fortillci lions on the western outskirts i Uheims. the city itself hud not falle Ten more or less important towns a included in the territory already ove run h> the Hermans.

It is said that the Hermans mat larger use of g?.s shells than In ar previous battle, and that the allic troops were overwhelmed for mar miles in the rear.
