Pari., the letreat of the Germans in
this hector of the front was very much
in the nature or a flight. They with
drew along the Fere en Tardenoix
road, and also fell back to the Chat
eau Thierry Soissons road through
Oulchy le Chateau. The southern
portion of the enemy front between
Chateau Thierry and Soissons is be
ing broken up where, as in the north
ern portion still resisting, it has tak
en the form of a series of salients
around small villages dotted along
side the road. It Is clear the enemy
is making a desperate effort to keep
his neck out of the nippers open in
the region of the Montague de Rhelnis
where Marfaux is being fought for
with the utmost obstinacy by Ger
mans and British. This ruined vil
lage already has changed hands sev
eral times.
Practically along the whole front
the French lines are now within a
Khort distance of the Chateau Thier
ry Soissons road, varying from two
to four kilometers, so that at many
places the road is effectively cut by

road seriously afreets the Germans
