LONDON, Aug. 2.—Goussancourt has been taken by the French. The French also captured the entire Mueniere Wood, on the line of the west of Goussancourt, at about the centre of the Rheims-Soissons salient. Yesterday's Franco-British attack on the westerly side of the Marne salient below Soissons was on a front of five miles and penetrated to a miximum depth of three miles, according to news received to-day. It resulted in the capture of the entire ridge which forms the watershed be- tween the Oureg and the Aisne, The capture of this important ground means that the Germans will not be able to retire in an ordinarily leisurely way and that they probably will have to go beyond the River Vesle in| their retreat. (The Crise watershed Is a long spur about 600 feet high between the Crise and the Oureq and is a valuable observation point. From it the Germans prevented the Allies from seeing the Crise, while they overlooked the ground won from them on the Oureg. The Allles stormed not only the summit, but the northern slope of this terrain. [As a consequence they can now manoeuvre safely In the Oureq region. In addition they have a view behind the great Hartennes Plateau where the enemy still clings along the Soissons-Chateau- Thierry road, and that strong position, difficult of attack frontally, can now be turned from the north through Villemontoire and from the south by way of Hill 206.) The advance by the Allies along the western side of the salient is described as extremely important—possibly the most important thing the Allies have accomplished since the Germans retired from the Marne. The situation is considered as extraordinarily good, be- ing described in the advices as the turning point of the sum- mer campaign and possibly of the whole war. The importance of the victory, it is explained, lies in the fact that) the new Allied positions command the whole area to the northward and take in flank and rear the entire western gate through which the Germans have been retiring. This area is a nest of German reserves and field artillery. NEW PROGRESS NORTH OF MARNE IS ANNOUNCED IN PARIS Six Towns and 700 Prisoners Captured in the Hard Fighting of Yesterday. [FRENCH REPORT] PARIS, Aug. 2.—On the baitlefield north of the Marne the French troops during the night continued to press back the Germans further toward the Vesle, says the official statement from the War Office to-day. The text of the report follows: “During the night French troops made new progress north of the Marn Allied observers early to-<day reported that large bodies of Germans | are moving northward along the road from Launoy, which lies midwe between Soissons and Fere-en-Tardenois, according to the Associated | Press correspondent with the French arm MANY TOWNS ARE CAPTURED, The net results of yesterday and last night’s fighting appeared to-day to be: | A two-mile advance northwest of Fere-en-Tardenois, along the | Grand Rozoy Ridge, on which guns of the Allies to-day are men- acing Fismes, the great German supply base in the centre, exactly midway between Soissons and Rheims. In this'gain the Allies captured the villages of Cordoux, Ser- venly, Cramoiselle and Cremaille, and toox 600 German prisoners. Cierges, four and a half miles southeast of Fere-en-Tardenois, was recaptured, It was here the Americans have been having their hardest fighting, taking the village and then losing it to the enemy, only to get it back again in a counter-attack. Pershing’s divisions also occupied Meuniere Woods, to the east, the greatest gain of the day—a net advance of two miles. Romigny, north of tne Dormans-Rheims road and only a mile and a half from Ville-en-Tardenois, on the east side of the salient, also was captured.

LONDON, Aug, 2 (British Admir- alty Wireless)—In February, 1917, Admiral von Capelle, Secreta.y of State for the German navy, perinitted himself the unwise luxury of prophecy. He sald: “From a military standpoint, I re- gard the effect on our enemies of the entry Into the war ofthe United States as nil, First of all, the oft- mentioned hundreds of thousands of volunteers will have to be found ia America, Supposing even that hun- DVRIONY omMeayv pREeMency BOUILLY OBLIGNY dreds of thousands of men are readily | 4 +anoeno's gathered in America, how can they 4) possibly get to England?
