BATTER DOWN HUN D[FM]i BIG GAIN
Continued From page On*.
Romigny, places the Germans In the V-shaped pocket southwest of Viile-I2n-Tardenois In a /most difficult position from which they will have trouble escaping.
The Americans In desperate hand to hand fighting in which the enemy only $rave up a position when he was overwhelmed by sheer force, advanced northeastward from Sergy almost to Camdry and eastward from Sergy to the Meuriiere wood, the northen part of which they occupied. French troops gained Cierges, west of Meunlerewood and pressed on. completing the capture of the entire wood.
A line draw*i eastward from Cramaille held by the French, leaves St. Gcmnie, the apex of the V-shaped salient east of Fere, six miles to the south. Thus the Germans would have to retire six mile3 to place their line east of Fere on a horizontal with that to the west.
German# End Retresrt. I Apparently the German crown prince hag resolved to hold his present line
The new German retreat, first indicated in the official statement of the French war office last night, and later confirmed in press dispatches from the field, was followed closely by observers here. Dispatches describing the enemy as "fleeing precipately" on the region between Soissons and Fere-Kn-Tar-denois.gave rise to hopes that the new line along the Vesle would not be prepared before it was reached by the allied advanced guard.
TJeep satisfaction was expressed today in the part played by the American forces in compelling the withdrawal of the enemy. It was recognized, that to the Americans should go the credit for the first step. Fighting desperately, the Americans on Tuesday drove forward in the region north of Sergy, thereby creating a dent in the enemy lines which coupled with the massing tactics on the German flanks by the French and British made the Ourcq line untenable and without

at all costs and to go northward to the line of the Vesle only before allied pressure. Reports from the battle zone, say the Germans are fighting to the bitter end and seldom retire. The crown prince also seems to have made I every effort to organize his defenses I as well as time and allied attacks perniitted. I
Notwithstanding this resistance and the evident intention to fight rathe than to withdraw, the allies continue to progress in the center of the pocket. I Ceneral Foch's policy seems to be to hammer hard at vulnerable points and thus ease the way for gains on adjacent sectors. Their tactics brought forth wide gains Thursday and appear likely to provide more.
Only the artillery has been active'" elsewhere on the western front, the Germans seemingly paying all their attention to the Marne battlefield. The aeria! fighting on the British front lias been heavy for the past few days, generally a sign of approaching infantry movements. Wednesday British airmen accounted for thirty-five machines. twentv-slx of which were destroyed. The Rritish lost four.
GERMANS IN RETREAT,
To Americana Goes Credit for Important Part In Foe Defeat. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2—The Oftrman army in the Soissons-Rheims salient today appeared again to be in retreat, the second withdrawal ordered by the German high command within a week. Pushed back by the allied advance to the banks of the Ourcq a few days ago, the German forces in the opinion of officials here were withdrawing today to the Vesle.

a doubt led the German high command to seek a new defensive position.
RESULTS SATISFACTORY.
Progress Made In Present Battle All That Is Desired. LONDON, Aug. 2.—Reuter'a correspondent on the American front, telegraphing Thursday night, says: "There may be some danger of misconception or disappointment arising from certain rather flamboyant accounts of the fighting on the American front, since these give the impression of tremendous effort with little headway, and the conclusion may be drawn that the director of the allied advance is finding successful accomplishment beyond his means. Although no praise
But yott can't tell how until you Know How and you can't Know How until you get a 10c package of HRH and use it."

is too high for the way the Americans are fighting, that fighting Is on & comparatively small scale as things are measured on this front, and does not suggest hurry on the part of the allied command to reach a particular destination. 'If the commander's purpose required speed more guns would be needed, for by comparison with past fighting, the present operation might also be called /runless, so large has the role of the infantry been, It has been as bitter as possible, and the Americans have won impei-ishable laurels in it, but the scale of fighting would not entitle one to expect greater progress from it, or, indeed, more than a mere folding up of ground. It would be a mistake to suppose that the tremendous struggle is producing adequate results."
