The Aisne bridges bombed by the allies were ‘located be- tween Pont Arcy and Gernicourt, a distance of about twelve miles. The same district also is within range of the French and American heavy suns. The allies are desirous of harassing the enemy as much as possible, owing to reports that large ' ammunition trains, southward bound, have been sighted using the bridges. The northward trafiic has consisted rrincipally of. infantry and trucks loaded with taken from houses n vilages, according to reports by ae- rial observers and three Italians who escaped from the Germans and reach- ed the American line. The Italians said they saw enormous shipments of household material and similar effects and expressed the belief that the Ger- mans had brought them forward from south of the Vesie during the retreat.
