ALLIES PREPARE FOR ANOTHER BATTLE With the American Army on the Alsne-Marne Front, From Rheims to Solssons, and far back toward . the Marne, the Americans, French and British were being concentrated for the battle of Vesle. All the indications were that the great chase of the Ger mans which began on July 18 is near lng an end. Beyond the Teste the enemy has planted his artillery and at different points has challenged the allies to pursue him. Along the southern bank General Foch's armies have slowed down to give an opportunity to those outdistanced to catch up. It is regard ed probable that it la the German plan to offer a stiff resistance in order to gain more time for a withdrawal to the Aisne. Near Flames there are a few German machine gunners, but no serious resistance is expected. The American and French guns are in posi tion and a great quantity of shells is being hurled onto the table land .which the Germans are holding. The cost and gain of the big drive are being estimated. There is no doubt that the Germans lost a large number of men, while the losses of the allies mre considered negligible, especially in prisoners. Aside from the strategic gains made by the allied armies, the morale of the men has been wonder fully reinvlgorated. At one depot near Fere-en-Tardenola It Is estimated that more than 14,000, 00 worth of ammunition and general tores fell Into the hands of the allies, while the volume of supplies destroyed at this same depot Is believed to amount to several times that value. BRIEF NEWS OF THE WAR ' The Germans have been thoroughly vanquished on the Solssons-Rheims salient. Allied troops have pushed forward until they have cleared the enemy ont of the entire region south f a line drawn from Solssons to Rheims. French troops captnred the city of Solssons and Americans aided by the French have taken the import ant German supply depot of Flames. The German armies have retreated across the Vesle and they are evident ly headed for the Aisne river, across which they stormed their way on Hay 27 in their plunge toward the Marne. The fact that the enemy has de stroyed bridges across the Vesle and Is burning villages north of that river makes plain that no effort will be made to hold that line, and that the next stand will be made at the Aisne, or ven farther north, along the Chemln des Dames high ground. Beyond the Aisne, which In Itself is a strong defensive line, is the Chemin des Dames plateau, then the great for est of St. Gobain, and the important center of Laon, Considerable significance is attached to the retirement of the Germans in Plcardy. There the French and British are keeping up their hard pressure against the armies of Crown Prince R.upprech, of Bavaria and have forced them on two highly Important sectors to re treat. " - , Southeast of Amiens on the Old Montdldier sector, the Germans have fallen back across the Avre river over a wide front, while northeast of Amiens, in the region of Albert, a similar retrograde movement has been made across the Ancre. Germans Admit Albert Retreat. Berlin, via London.
