Bodies of men and horses were

American and British aviators.
Paris, Aug. 4. Battlefront,
4:20 p. m -.Both flanks of the
German forces between Rheims
and Soissons appear to have
turned. The French have forced
a crossing of the .Vesle west of
Rheims.
German reinforcements are
reported arriving in the Soissons
sector from the north. The allies
continue their advance according
to latest reports although it is

HOT RACE FOR NORTH BANK AiSNE.
German Retreat Continues Unabated With!
Allied Troops Everywhere in Pursuit.
Washington. Aug. 4. Evidence-that
the German" armies
ejected' from tne' Aisne-Marne
salient have been dealt a smash
itig bloov came tonight from, all
quarters. Losses in men. guns
and war.niaterialsfsustaitted by
ttie enemy, it is indicated,. are so
ereat that the full scope of " vic
tory cannot yet be gained.
General Pershmgs official re
port covering yesterday 's opera
tions for "the first time cast aside
military reserve and declared
"the full fruits, of victoJy" had
been "realized. Even as his mes
sage wasf being given out how
ever, new reports from Prance
showed that further advances
had been realized today and the
enemy's "flanks again Had been
turned. It seemed certain on the
fact of these reports that he
could not halt. even at the Aisne
unless-he masses many more re
serves to relieve pressure against
the beatenand, disorganize4:ior
ces of the German crown prince.
The German retirement south
east of Monjtdidier may be sig
nificant. To some officers it ap
peared possible that General
Poch would, hurl his victorious
armies which have already
crossed the Aisne "near Soissons
north and: east f rom that point
toward the Hn of the Oise.
Should'tne German disorganiza
,tton prove sejious enough to
permit the allies to extend their
victories northward,- -a flank
attack might be projected againt
.the Pieardy front with hopes
thtjtlte isaesSl ta-be
duplicated. Standing again
along the Oise and with sufficient
forces available to continue on
offensive, the French would
threaten the Germans in this
whole great area from the south
while the British advance from
the Albert-Arras front would
form the north jaw of the trap.
Flooded streams have again
intervened in behalf of the allied
armies, as at the Piave in the
Italian counter stroke. The
rise of the Vesle behind the
German rear guard apparently
threw the whole organization
protecting the withdrawal of the
main armies into disorder. It
was not clear whether General
Pershing's message reporting
that 8 400 prisoners and 133
guns bad been captured by the
Americans alone included those
taken in Jyesterday's swift rusto
to Fismes or. only those of the
preceding period of the counter
o!fensivs. It was regarded as
probable, however, that the cap
tures made yesterday were still
to be reported. Other reports
indicate large captures of both
men and guns in the frush to the
Vesle.
Reports that -the enemy was
hurrying new reserves from the
north to support his shattered
lines ndw beyond the Soissons
Rheims front, attracted particu
lar attention here. If the Ger
man reserves in Flanders
are withdrawn, it was regarded
as certain that the nibbling
tacti cs of the B r i t i s h on
both these fronts would be ex
tended without delay to an
effort to force the enemy out of
the salient he holds at these
two points.
Whether General Foch will
seek to carry his lines back to :
the Chemiu Des Dames, north
of the Aisne, cannot be foretold.
Officers say it depends upon the
plans of larger strategy that
have been formed. Many of
, ,. , ,
them believe, however, that un
less there should be a a wholly
j unexpected collapse of the Ger

As the situation looks today,
officers said the enemy has vir
tually nothing to show for the
labor and lives he expended dur
ing May and June in forcing his
way to the Marne. As a debit
he had already by lost his with
drawal enough prisoners, guns
and material to cripple probably
a third of his total force on the
western front and one group of
armies is regarded as out of
any offensive battle for the pres
ent war. In addition, he faces
the winter campaign with his
military record showing that he
had been soundly beaten, which
might well bring the tottering
Austro-Hungarian government
to a crash. Word of the allied
victories is certain to reach the
Austrian people. The presence
of American troops on the Italian
front will tend to confirm for the
Austrian army all that they

Conditions on the battle from
along- the Vesle river between
Soissons and Rheims remain un-
kchanj'ed and relatively speaking
there have been no developments
of outstanding importance on the
line running from the region
from Montdidier toward the
English channel. In both reg
-ions however; there is a tense
ness which seem3 to forecast the
approach of big events.
The bad weather heavy rain
falls, the swollen river and the
resu'tant wretched condition of
the terrain which the allied
troops along the Vesle now have
to contend not o mention the
necessity 01 bringing up guns,
ammunition aud supplies which"
were left f.iJ behind in the rapid
advance doubtless is having
more to do with the holding in
leach of Marshal Koch's troops
than the opposition the Gennars
are throwing in their wav.
