Teuton Resistance Strengthens Preparatory to Further Retreat ‘ [By United Press} PARIS, Aug. 5.—The Germans are making a stronger re- sistance along the Vesle line than was expected. Altho the Allies have established bridgeheads at Fismes, Bazoches, and Harry E.. Holdrege -and ‘his deputy Nourchery; and are moving resistance encountered above the river, German artillery opened the most violent fire in the’ last two days. The most important objective before the Allies now is the valley on the north bank of the Aisne, nine miles north- east of Soissons. The Germans retired north of Montdidier, in Picardy, two miles on an 11-mile front. The retirement in- cluded the American sector. Casualties Remarkably Light, Considering American Advance WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 5.— American patrols are across the Vesle. They advanced steadily thru the rain Saturday night and Sunday, until they established contact with the enemy. German artillery fire in the American sector is heavier than during the last two days, but officers believe the Germans must retreat beyond the Aisne. American casualties of the last few days are amazingly slight, considering the advance. I saw a front dressing station empty, doctsrs idle and ambulances resting. Pursuit of Huns Continues on North Bank and Losses Climb PARIS, Aug. 5.—The Havas Agency today says the pur- suit ‘of the Germans continues. Only a few troops remain south of the Vesle. French patrols crossed the Vesle at Ba- zoches and Joncery. The Allies hold the entire southern bank of the Vesle between Fismes and Rheims. Prussian and Bavarian guards made a stubborn resistance between Muzon and Champigny, but were forced back, suffer- ing heavy losses. Both banks of the Vesle are under heavy artillery fire. It is believed the Germans will not attempt a definite halt before reaching the Aisne, Enemy dead are scatered along all the roads leading north.
