At soie poillt tihe (erm1-1an1s succeeded somewhat i checking the forward moveientI, but nowhere were they able to bring it to a staidstili. 're retirement. of the G ermans still remaIns orderly, but everywhere Ilie at1ll Iroops, anlld estpepelally the Aimler lc; s near Fere-En-Tardenois, ar' pres;'a t1em hard. Particularly hit ter ri ting has taken place around Fere-En-Tardenols and at Sergy, both of which towns are now well In the hands of tile French and Americans. At Scigy the Germans paid the Amer icans the coiiliment of reinforcing their battleline with two divisions of well-tr-ied Bavarilan troops, m1en whose courage previously ld been tested, when the tide of battle was going agairst the Germans. -It was an effort eithci to destroy the Americans or to hurl them back across the Ou:eq. The effort resulted In failure. The battleline shifted back and forth and Sergy changed hands four tIhes, but the Americans proved to be the masters of the picked enemy troops and finally drove them out and re tained the village. IHeavy casualties were Inflicted on the Germans. The fighting in Vere4Nu-Tairdenots also was of a sanguinary character, (he opposing forces fighting In close contact through the streets of the town, but vith the Germans being gradually driven iback under lie ia chine gun and rile fire and from coi ( tact' ith the cold sleet of the allIed hayonets. trlmedately south of Solasons on the western edge of the salIent, the Ooermans strove hierolealty to hiotld back th'elr enemies, In order to pre * vent the further flanking of Solssons and the possible cuttIng off of large forces of theIr men fightIng along th~e Ourcq south of Oulchy-le-Chateau. Scottish troo!)s, however, catutiredl positlons in the outskIrts of Buizancy just to the west of Solssons-Chateau Thlierry road, while fur ther south the French overcame the resistance im posed( agaiinst them, crossed the hIgh road and took Grand Rozoy and Cugny and the Butte Chalmont. Southeast of Soissons, weoll Inside - the salIent and lit present far outsIde ' the inmmediate battle zone, various towns and villages along the Solssons * Fiames railroad are saidI to he ini flames. ThIs seemingly would IndI cate that the retIrenient of thie Ger mane from the big ipocket Is to proceed still further northwvard biefore they< inand to halt It, face about and give "'ttle to the allied troops5 along a ehosen. line.
