Allies Plunge Past’ Soissons (Continued from Page One.) Retirement General on Entire Front; Heavy Losses Inflicted PARIS, Aug. 3.—The German retreat is gaining momen- tum as the Allies advance on the whole! 45-mile front from west of Soissons to Rheims. French patrols reached the Aisne river near Venizel. < Cavalry and tanks, following on the heels of the enemy, are inflicting heavy losses, The evolution of the battle, which is leading to victory, happened all within a few hours. The capture of Hartennes tableland started the retreat. The Allies are pushing inward on both flanks of the salient and are progressing toward the Vesle river from the right flank. Fourteen Fires Visible from | Points on Line of Hun Retreat, LONDON, Aug. 3.—French cavalry reached the Vesle! river at Jonchery and Champigny. All Vesle river bridges were destroyed. The Germans are burning villages north of the river in their flight. Fourteen large fires are visible. Beyond Soissons the enemy is retiring rapidly, probably for the Aisne river, the next probable line of defense. Abandonment of Offensive Plans Seen in Withdrawal from Ancre LONDON, Aug. 3.—The Germans are executing a local retirement to the east bank of the Ancre river in the region of Albert on a front of three or four miles, within the main! battle front in the Soissons region. The French, after complet- ing the occupation of Soissons, occupied the south bank of the Aisne between Pomieres and Venizel, a distance of approxi- mately five and a half miles. East of the Soissons-Rheims line, to which the Allies ad- vanced, the line runs from. Henrzy-et-Prin and Sivigny, both in the Andre Valley, to the highest point on the plateau be- tween the Andre and the Vesle, and thence to Rostany, Geux and Thillois, and on to Vesle at St. Brice, which is on the orig-! inal line. The Germans’ hold on the west bank of the Ancre in this region has been made precarious, and seems to be tenable only if it were intended to be made use of in starting an offensive. The retirement appears indicative of an abandonment of any) attempt of an offensive in that quarter at present.
