“The response of the G*rmana to
the counteroffensive of Foch waa to
throw in at Solaaons and aouth of
It. a large number of reserve divi
sions which he had not used in hla
advuncf* across the Marne. Our bt-
liei is that he threw in there 15 div
isions but the advance of the allle*
at that point has been .practically
steady for the last two days as far
as our official information goes.
“Looking at the larger scale map.
the railroad running from Sofssona
to Chateau-Thierry is now either in
our hands or under our fire. The
only way in w hich the enemy can get
out or get supplies over railroad. Is
shown by the remaining line run
ning for Xanteuf! on the Ourct to
Kaxoches on the River Veale.

Should the final rail connection
