Further Allied Successes Will Imperil 400,000 Hons In Soissons-Rlisims Fccket ?ARIS,rjJy24, OOpTSllhe Germans appear determined to avtid a prolonged retreat and are reported to fce preparing for a desperate stand along the present battle front. Further allied successes i-nder these conditions v-il! t-i-: imperil more than 400,000 Germans in the Soissons-Rheims pocket as their forces within the salient have grown to that figure. rrench and Americans overcoming bitter resister.ee are progressing northeast of Chateau Thierry and south of the Ourcq. The enemy positions at Culchy-la-Chateau are outflanked. The Americans are in the highest spirits despite the fact thatthev are literally snatching their food and rest on the run. The morale of the Boche prisoners is very low. They are astounded at the power of the Franco-American attack.

CROWX PRINCE CHANGES PLANS TUN 'TECC PR ES-cs C . li-ECF A.V t PARIS, July 24, 10 a. mi The German Crown Prince has suddenly changed his plans for a strategic retreat in the Soissons-Rheims salient and has determined to fight it out there. This change is indicated by stiffening resistance and increasing reinforcements and was borne cut by German prisoners today. It is believed that internal conditions in Germany forced a change in plan. New divisions have been ordered into the pocket. German losses in this region are now estimated from 125,000 to 150,000 mer.. including 25.000 prisoners.

Despite order to hold to the death the Crown Prince's rear guard is being forced to give way before the allied attack along practically the whole battle front. Prisoners declare the units of the rear guard were to remain at their post and to hold off the Americans to the last. Before the violence of the American attack they are being wiped out or taken prisoner. The advance is continuing at all points. GERMANS HAVE BUT ONE RAIL LINE fl'SiTSn PSiEPS CaT5 t.E-15 RAM 1 WASHINGTON, July 24. In the face of at least fifteen German division reinforcements, the allied army fighting in the SoissonsRheims salient has steadily advanced during the last three days, Chief of Staff March told correspondents today. Between the Marne and Rheims the enemy has been pushed back on a ten mile front to a depth from one and one-half to two miles. The Germans have only one rail li-.i over which to carry cut their retreat unless they have constructed some minor field tracks. Buy a Thrift Stamp today.
