UNLESS AID ARRIVES [By Ansocinted Preas.] LONDON, July 23.—The battle on the Aisne-Marne front, altho an obstinate struggle, \is deepening and extending, with news continu+ ing most favorable forthe Allies, in the view of London observers. Germans have not recovered, from tl surprise and confusion. The enemy’s main energies seem concentrated on defensive fighting, and a series of desperate rear guard actions in an effort to extri- cate the bulk of his forces from cannot be calculated. On the front facing Geuraud's army alone 50,000 Germans, it is declared, were put out of action by hundreds of guns which were unmasked only when the assaulting waves had ap- proached the real line of resistance. is the Germans receive im- critical, in view of the relentless pressure maintained by Foch, whose tactic is considered, pos- sible, may still turn the enemy re- treat into_a rout.

German artillery in the Rheims and Soissons region is comparatively inactive, indicat- ing the withdrawal of their guns. As a result of the Allies’ bombardment on both sides of the Rheims-Soissons pocket, the Crown Prince has only a seven- mile pastage for the withdrawal of his troops. The Germans are fighting desperately in rear guard actions to prevent the Allies from trapping them, using divisions from neighboring fronts’ in an effort to shake Foch’s grip. They have already used sixty divisions. The Allies on both sides of the salient are aiming at Fere- en-Tardenois and Fismes. 1 Aviators report that the Germans are hurriedly preparing to defend Fismes, indicating a plan to evacuate the entire salient. Franco-Americans are advancing north of Chateau- Thierry, while French, Italians and British are advancing north of the Marne between the river and Rheims. The number of prisoners is steadily increasing. Ground Lost in Fierce Teuton Counters Regained by the Allies UBy Associoted Press.] LONDON, July 23.—Americans are continuing their prog- ress on the battle front between the Ourcq and the Marne. Advices are that attacks carried out by the French.restored all ground lost Monday in the region of Grisolles, seven miles porthwest of Chateau-Thierry. French stormed the heights north of Courcelles at 3 p. m. | yesterday. They were also holding the river bend in the neigh-~ borhood of Chassins as far as Treloup. (These towns are just north of the Marne, east of Jaulgonne, taken by the Ameri- cans.) Treloup, at latest-advices, is still in the hands of the enemy. The French crossed the Marne at Pont-a-Binson, east of Reuil. The enemy counter attacked heavily from the direction of Van- dieres, but his onslaughts were beaten off.
