FROM RHEIMS TO MONTDIDIER |American and feanck Troops Sweep Forward From Marne to Aisne as French and Italians Strike at Five Points Near Rheims— Germans Blow Up Munitions in Sdissons. WASHINGTON, July 19.—While no an- nouncement of the capture of the City of Soissons has reached the War Department, Secretary Baker said to-day that the fall of that city seems to be indicated by despatches. Thirty thousand Germans have been captured in the Franco-American drive, according to official in- formation here to-day. This is the biggest single bag of prisoners taken by AHied troops on the west front during the war. While renewing his attacks with American and French troops between Soissons and Chateau-Thierry Gen. Foch de- livered new blows on the line running from Rheims south- ward to the Marne. In the latter salient French, Italian and American troops made gains at five points. | Several more towns have been taken by the Americans in the Chateau-Thierry and Soissons. One of them is Vierzy, six miles south of Soissons. Other towns captured were north and south of Vierzy. Still another town taken by the Americans is Priez, two miles from Cour- | champs, captured yesterday. attacks between German reinforcements were brought up during the | night, but no counter attack has been made. ill on American: | hold the plateau southwest of Soissons, and “Soissons” | the lips of every American soldier in that region. It seems that the Allied commander is pressing both sides of the area into which the Germans have penetrated be- low the Marne between Chateau-Thierry and Rheims with the evident intention of trapping the entire enemy force or forcing a withdrawal from all the territory occupied in the latest offensive. A despatch from Paris says the French High Command } announces that the enemy is everywhere on the defensive and | that Franco-American troops are exerting great pressure on | every salient between Rheims and Montdidier.
