GERMAN RETREAT
IN FULL CAREER
From Ypres to Rheims Enemy
Is Steadily Falling
Back
FRANCO-AMERICAN
FORCES IN PURSUIT
Germans Seem to Be Trying
to Concentrate at StQuentin.
News last week continued to say
that victory still smiles on the allied
armies. The enemy is in retreat
along the whole line from Ypres to
Rheims. Honors were with the
French and Americans on the allied
wing, which, at last gained the reward
of several days' persistent effort.
Exactly how far they advanced
is diff icult to say, for the line mov I
ed forward hourly.
The enemy, who lost heavily in
men, announces, by a hurried destruction
of material, his intention of
abandoning, if he has not already
done so, Chauny, J ussy, La Fere and
probably Ham. There can be no
doubt of his retreating in the general
direction of St. Quentin to take
up the positions of the Hindenburg
line, which be held after the strategic
withdrawal in 1917. Only this
time the allied troops are forcing his
movement and pressing hard on his
heels, causing him heavy losses.
In a short time the Allies will have
recovered all of the ground lost
since March, and will have gained
east of Arras a position which is a
permanent threat to Douai and Cambrai.
In addition in less than six
months Ludendorff will have irremediably
ruined the egectiveness
and morale of those German armies
that were so formidable in the west
at the beginning of the year.
British May Halt a While.
London. ? The important progress
that the British continued
to make on their front exceeded popular
expectations, in view of the
arduous work that had been done by
the advancing forces during the previous
few days. And again today no
surprise would be occasioned if physical
reasons should compel some
slackening of the high pressure, temporarily
limiting the British advance.
Attention consequently is all the
more focu-r-od on the Franco-American
successes in the Noyon and Sois- j
sons regions which culminate<l with
Wednesday's crossing of the Ycsle
on a wide front, and of the Aisne at
various points. After the engage- j
ments which are reported to have put
out of action some of the best divisions
of the German army an 1 t ?
have heaped the ground with Gor- ;
man dead, the V ranco- America 1
troops hold virtually the entire plateau
north of Sois.-ons, whence they
are able to observe the enemy prep
arations for a retreat which apparently
is to !?? to the ('hernia d >
Dames. Numerous fires burning b hind
the Yoslo heights indicated tVw
destruction of supplies which could
not be removed while for six miles
along the Aisne it is stated, bri Iges j
have been built every 300 yards to
facilitate the withdrawal of the
hardpresBcd German forces.
The position of the enemy in this
area seems increasingly critical.

AMERICANS DRIVE
I Off ENEMY RAIDS 1
Willi the American troops in
France.?There was considerable
patrol activity on the American
front in (he Vosges regions last
night. An enemy raiding party of
fifty approached the American
trenches at one point. The raiders
were driven off by rifle fire.
The artillery fire was active on
both sidcp in this sector, the enemy
using te&r and sneeze gas shells. In
the Woevre district an American patrol
penetrated the enemy lines after
cutting seven strands of barbed wire.
Other patrols met small German
groups and drove them off without
difficulty. The enemy artillery and
machine gun activity in the Woevre
inc.eased slightly.
