NUMBER 244 HAL IN [By Associnted Press.] In spite of tremendous efforts by the Germans to check the pressure of the Allies north of the Ourcq, today finds German positions there in grave danger. French, British and Americans, fighting their way forward east of Fere-en-Tardenois seem in a position to compel a hurried retreat from Roncheres and St. Gemme, at the extreme bottom of the salient between Soissons and Rheims. The Allies line runs south of Soissons to Grand Rozey and then east. {2 passes just north of Fere-en-Tardenois and continues to the apex of the new wedge at Nesles, where it turns sharply seuth toward Roncheres. All around the salient there has been a continuous battle for two days, the Germans launching repeated counters. They failed, and the Allies gained important ground at vital points.
