The German Crown Prince Frederick William, whose army Is so badly cut up by tho allies on tho Maine river, and Is now in retreat, has been oblig ed to call for help from his cousin, Crown Prince Uupprccht, of llavaria. Answering this urgent call, and hop ing to chock the allied advance and prevent any further disaster, Ger man divisions from the army In the north have been hurried south to protect tho western Hank of the de feated army, which has. been driven back over tho Marne and ejected from tho vicinity rtf Chateau-Thierry by the Franco-American forces. Tho llrst drive on Paris In 11(14 brought tho German army to the Maine river, and there the English and French checked the advance, and the Hun forces, who had counted on taking Paris and ending tho war, wore defeated on September B, lot t, and hurled back. Repeated attempts to reach Paris have been ropulsed, and In the last offensive the Germans were confident that they could cut their way Uirougli at the point where the attack developed a week ago, but their estimato of tho Ameri can army strength and tho ability ol tho United States troops to hold tlu lines was miscalculated and defeated and again the enemy is hurrying backwnrd in perplexity. AMERICANS CROSS MABNK. London, July 22 . Americans crossed tho Marno rivor in the face of a galling ilre, yesterday, at a point between Cliartoves and Gland, cast of Chateau-Thierry and captured liar billon wood. At the same time French troops crossed the river at Mozy and Corrcelles, constructing foot bridges while German gunners tried to prevent tho work. In vio lent counter attacks today tho Huns are using gas shells and frantically endeavoring to check tho allied ad vance, but llnd themselves unable to accomplish anything. Tho lighting has settled down to a steady drive, both Franco-Americans and Germans going at the work with bull-dog ten acity. German resorves are lwlng thrown into the battle in great num bers, but still the receding tide car Ties the enemy farther bock, while more war munitions continually fall into the allies' hands as the Germans are forced northward. The French made an advance of eight miles at the greatest depth on the Maine front Sunday, and Uie united states troops advanced four miles from their form er position on the Mnrne rivor. The object of tho German counter attacks is to expedite the escape of their troops from the pocket between Soissons and Rhcims, which two points are only about 87 miles apart in a direct lino, or by tho highway connecting the cities. Tho Germans having forced their way as far south as Chatcau-Tiiierry ore in great dan cer of having those troops at tho ex- treme southern point of the pocket cut off and captured. The allied troops, pushing ahead from both Rhcims and Soissons, nro making It a difficult matter for tho enemy to even now get supplies to the men on the Marne front, where Uicy arc con- stantly harrassed by the Franco- Americans. Sensing tho great dnn eer at this point, the Huns are de neratelv attempting to hold the French and Americans in check suf ficiently to nllow them to get out of the mess with as little loss as pos sible. The allies, understanding the great advantage they may gain, are pressing forward to complete the work undertaken and turn the ene my's rout into a wild disorganised fllirht. Southwest of Ithelms there has been heavy fighting today, and the French army has made considerable progress between the Ourcq anil Marne rivers, taking 400 prisoners. The French line in the Aisne and Marne drive now runs from Itreny along the main Chntcau-Thierry road to Recourt, then through lie 1,'narmi? and Kpleds to the Marne at Chart- eves.

Associated Press War Lead, July 22. If the now drive southwest of Ithelms develops, as it Is believed it will, the ullies' "nut crackers" will bo in full motion and Germans in the .Marne pocket will soon realize that they are up against a sltnutlon that the allies have endeavored to lead thorn Into for many weeks.

Regardless of any loss, be it largb or small, the Ameri cans are pounding away on the tier man positions with relentless vigor. and their attacks are weakening tile enemy at all points.
