"It was at Viersy the Germans re action was most felt, yet it was able to do ncthing.1 All the news received has shown the Germans on the northern line were completely surprised. News that has been fathered shows that among six divisions which held this section several of them had been battered between Noyon and Montdidier and had been sent to rest on this front, so firm was German command's be lief that the French would be unable to do anything. "INVINCIBLE" DIVISION BEATEN Nevertheless among those divisions were some of the best troops in the German ermy, Bavarians, Saxons and also the famous sixth Brandeuburg division, which took Uouatimuont, and wiiich the emptior celebrated as being "invincible." The losses cf the Germans have been so great during the full offen sive th.it the enemy was obliged yes- .terday tvening to throw in four new divisions, and two still suffering from previous offensives which arrived in the Soissons region were cut up a lit tle as they reached the breach which they were destined to fill. In the early hours of this morning French troops of the ue Goutte's ar my crossed the Marne and again en tered Chateau Thierry.

According to news in 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 Fre-nch artillery fire. The loss of this road seriously afreets the Germans positions west of Rhelnis, since be tween It and the road from Soissons, through Feren Tardenois communica tion Is very scantily maintained oy oulv a few second-class roads.
