After Enemy Is Forced Out of All Heights Above Crlse River Cap ' tare of Soissons Becomes Cer tain, Says Correspondent. LONDON. Aug. 8. Reuter's corre spondent at American Army headquar ters sent the following dispatch todayj 'Today an extraordinary spectacle meets the eye. The entire German sali ent line has given way with a snap like that of a string that has broken. "Yesterday, before the last deluge of rain robed the country with a thick, white mist, it was possible actually to see the German retreat. Ji. man could ba seen dodging out of a house, with a. .machine gun over his shoulder, and another loading his mule with ammu nition. A third, who seemed to be an officer, was supervising the destruc tion of some sort of dump. 'Small groups, coming out of their billets, formed in the roadway and marched off with their arms at the slope. It was all orderly and leisurely, though perhaps not as leisurely as it looked. Enemy Leaves Trail of Fire. There seemed no suggestion of dis order, still less of rout. -Yet; this sort of thing was happening along the en tire 40 miles of front between Sols sons and Rheims, save that in places the roar and smoke of guns was oblit erating tha quiet cinema effect of the scene before us. "Huge black, bulging pillars of smoke suddenly appeared with a thun derous uproar here and there as some ammunition dump exploded. 'There has been plenty ox hard fight- ng on the round-headed hill between Cierges and Coulonges. It gave every prospect of continuing, when suddenly the tension snapped and the Germans were in retreat. The crushing pressure of Petain's troops about those of the' Crown Prince had been so timed that if the salient had not broken in one place it would have in another. Soissons had been undermined by the capture of Buzancy by the Scottish division on July SO. With the enemy s abandonment of the heights above the Crtse River Sols sons became ripe fruit that might fall at any moment, and although there was fierce fighting by the troops that passed through it yesterday, the mere possession of the town is not of great moment. It is the ground about It which constitutes the pivot of the ma neuver, which may have vital conse quences on tha new German line of re- 1 stance. Retreat Fairly Orderly. "The pushing forward of the line be tween Goussancourt and Ville-en-Tar-denois has not the significance of our gains elsewhere. But with Coulonges n our hands and no sign so far of the Germans standing beyond it, it ought not to take long to clear the eastern ngle of the Ardre.

HUNS DECLARED TEARFUL Reventlow Asserts Teuton Press Full of Whining. Is AMSTERDAM, Aug. 3. Count Rev entlow, writing ln the Tages Zeitung, of Berlin, on the anniversary ' of the fourth year of the war, says: "The beginning of the fifth year of the war is marked In a large part of me Gorman press by reflections which are overflowing with resignation, mel- ancnoiy ana whining." The writer continues: "The tearful defeatism which runs through the German DUbllc life these days has a perniciously laming effect and, more so, because with some people the underlying view may be perceived or is expressly stated by them that if one would end the war it would, after an. do an easy thing to do, as one need only join Grey and Wilson In the league oi nations."
