The Germans are in retreat along the entire front north of the Marne. This part of the front in the Aisne- Marne salient is about twenty miles across, and the advance of the French and Allied troops on the arc constituting the bottom of the sack averaged between two and three miles beyond the line officially re ported a day or two ago. This means that the German Crown Prim^ and his generals are extricating their troops from dan gerous positions as best they may. Reports from French headquarters have indicated that the Germans were carrying out extensive prepara lions for the evacuation of the ter ritory between the Marne and the Mnrtq, and II Is undoubted that the AU»es *11) eadcat or with all their maonrree to drive in on the enemy fiSMihe The rrn»co*Amortrna troepn. mo* Nlitotof their proaoars oo t» • ms :n re* res* from the ^ # T roorheq and ffoosod the iJoftq VfPoe ood pmsotrnded the i#on of “ f the s'ooi mm m fhf w r • tht at «'%n»io«oo a tosee ffiMh dee atae TUtmso m ohwh itlonee srna do a< snmd as pis Onrmnn.** ’a tfhi The ^’Kittle of the Woods" haa ended and the Germans hate been swept from the forests of Fere and His. Towards the last of this fonr d.iys* struggle the Franco-American advance became so rapid that the reheat of the Germans was greatly disorganised. The edge of the Ger man salient to the south and sout,b- port east of Fere-en-Tardeuois was ground down by the whirl of the al lied troops and dulled to an extent that German weakness was indicat ed at many points. The first indi cation" of this was seen Saturday when the enemy retreated so rapid-' ly that the Franco-American troops ertirely lost contact with-him.
