this region is going on is not ques-
tioned, and the only question of
moment remaining to be cleared up
is the location of the position at
which the enemy will turn at bay.
Since Saturday morning there
have been important changes in
the battle line between Soissous
and Rhcims. Today it runs nearly
directly east from Oulchy-lc-Cha-
teau to Fere-en-Tardcnois, then
crosses the Ourcq and continues
eastward until it reaches the Dor-
mans-Rheims road northwest of
Rheims Mountain. «
It has been contended by mili-
Itary experts that the Germans
might elect to stand on the line of
the Ourcq river from which their
heavy cannon might dominate the
Paris-Chalons railroad along the
Marne. This idea now is proven
erroneous. It appears that there
.is no defensive positions’south of
lthe Vesle river, to which the Ger-
mans can retire and organize their
resistance to Allied pressure. The
only other defensive position seem-
ingly possible is the one that fol-
lows the Aisne and Vesle from
Soissons to Fismes, and from that
point follows the course of the
{Andre river toward Rheims. Burn-
.ing villages along the Aisne and
lVesle from Someone to Bazoches
are reported and tend to confirm
a
ido not contemplate organized re-
sistance south of that line.

As the situation now stands, the , 1‘ ‘
Germans must be considered to- ‘
have suffered a severe defeat north
of the Marne, but it is not a Sedan.
While the Germans have been
busy getting their forces back out
of the bag between Soisspns and
Rheims, their forces farther north
again have been attacked by the
British. Australian troops are at-
tacking on each side of the Bray-
Corbie road, east of Amiens and
north of the Somme river. Two
lines of German trenches over a .
two-mile front were taken by the
Australian troops, who also. cup-
tured one hundred prisoners.
This operation is just to the
north of Hamel and Villers-Bre-
tonneux, where the Australians
and Americans, early in July, won
a local victory over the enemy.'
Farther south is the line over
which the French have more re.
cently advanced to dominating po.
sitions along the Avre river. p
More than half of the pocket
between the Marne and Vesle riv-
ers has been cleared of Germans
and the Allies are driving the ene~
my still farther north.
Important gains are being made
by the French and Americans on
the east and the French and Brit—
ish on the west. The German re»
tirement, which is covered by
heavy rearguard actions, has been
well-conducted. Pressure on the
western and eastern sides southbffi
Soissous and southwest of Rheims,
respectively, has been withstood,
and the mouth of the pocket is still
large enough to enable the gleam:
