ALLIES’ ADVA NCE CONTINUES. . ; Paris, July 29.—Under the irresistible pressure of the allied troops the enemy’s retreat continued yesterday. The average advance of the allies. during the. day.was from three to five kilometers: “It is‘as yet: im- ° possible to determine the limit-of the retreat, but itis poseillt it will stop on lhe heights along the Vesle river. Up to midday the Germans had the whole line with the allies in close pursuit. The Germans have | succeeded in checking to a certain extent, but.not in stopping.the \allies’ advance. . The French have secured the whole.road between Rheims and Dgrmans. The Germans are stubbornly resisting and are burning the villages. Heavy fighting is still in progress south of Soissons. So far the French have made no progress there. The villages between Sdissons and Bazoches, about 14 miles to,the east, however, are on fire, leading to the belief that the’ Germans may attempt a further retreat. Since yesterday the allies have advanced between two and |three miles on a 20-mile front.. The enemy has definitely aban- doned Fere-en-Tardenois and there is little doubt that they will go back to a line 30 miles long to a line between Soissons and | Rheims. The German retirement has been quite orderly and deliberate. So far the taking of only four guns has ‘been reported. . The Americans, particularly in the Fere-en-Tardenois sector, jare pushing the Germans vigorously. { 400 PRISONERS TAKEN | Paris, July 29.—In the fighting north of the Marne yester- day 400 prisoners were captured, says the official statement from ithe war office today.
