While continuing their retirement toward the Aisne, the Ger- imans have abandoned good defensive positions in Picardy, east tof Amiens. The movements north and south-of the Somme have been only local in character, but are an indication that the Ger- imans are aware of the danger of an allied attack north of the jpresent battlefield. AMERICANS IN FISMES Between Soissons and Rheims, the Vesle virtually has been cleared of enemy troops, avd: Fismes is in the hands of the Amer- icans, having been carried b+ storm. West of Rheims the French have made important gains, and in the region of Soissons the French are north of the Aisne. RESISTANCE GROWS - Enemy resistance apparently has been growing stronger from 'Fismes eas: to Rheims. However, the Vesle is in flood, and as large a swamp, line its course west of Rheims, it is possible the resistance may’ be due to the, inability of the Germans to move to its north bank. FLATTEN OUT POCKET Allied-troops having flattened out the Marne pocket,‘ have rot advanced so rapidly. during the last 48 hours. The:léeading: units keep in close touch with the Germans, but it is probable that heavy artillgry: will -have to be brought up if the Germans persist’ to ‘hold at various: points along the Vesle. TO RETIRE NORTH OF AISNE “There is little doubt in allied capitals that the German crown prince will retire to the north of the Aisne. ‘His resistance to French: pressure in the Rheims region, not unlikely, is forthe pur- ‘pose’ of holding: the allies from breaking through, and also to pre- vent them fro mgetting between the Vesle and the Aisne before he'can-get-his-troops:to:the northern stream. Aone! MAKE STIFF STAND Paris, Aug. 5.—There was a lull in the battle along the Sois- sons-Rheims front last night and the breathing spell continued until this morning. The Germans are being favored by weather, conditions which have transformed the Vesle river banks into swamps and morasses and the Germans are making a stiffer stand here than was anti- cipated. BITTER FIGHTING AT FISMES Paris, Aug. 5.—The Americans covered themselves with glory .in the hand-to-hand fighting in the streets of Fismes when they captured that German railroad base. The fighting is said to have ibeen the bitterest of the whole war, the Prussian guard asking ‘for no quarter, and being bayonetted or clubbed to death as they stood by their machine guns. NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE Washington, D. C., Aug. 5.—French detachments. which crossed the Vesle are meeting with resistance from the Germans, says the official statement from the war office today. It is declared that there is nothing of importance to report from the battlefront. x WITHDRAW ON WIDE FRONT On the British Front, Aug. 5.—The Germans have withdrawn between Montdidier and Moruil, a distance of 10 miles. The | French hold the slopes down to the western side of Avre river. FISMES TAKEN Parig, Aug. 5.—The town of Fismes, Germany’s great store- house onthe Aisne-Marne battlefront, has been taken by French and American’ troops, according to a French official communica- ‘tion issued this.evening. The French also have crossed the Vesle iat several points.
