The Allies are continuing the steady pounding of the northern part of | the line, near Soissons, although the movement is lacking the dashing | advance which characterized the first days of the attack, The attempts of the Crown Prince's Generals to rally their forces to) meet the steady movement of the Allies has resulted in such strengthet: ing of the opposition as to indicate that the battle is approaching the point when the armies will soon be locked in a giant struggle. Both on the northern end of the line and further south the reinforced Germans are making a desperate effort to hold their positions. The weather was clear this morning and this gave some satisfaction to fhe thousands of men engaged on the Allied side. The indications, however, were that the day would be one of exceptional heat. pone PERSHING CABLES PROGRESS | OF THE AMERICANS CONTINUES ' Five Officers and Men Awarded Distinguished Service Cross for Gallantry.
