Front dispatches declare that the Allies' bombardment from both sides or the Rheims-Sois sons pocket leaves the Germans only a seven mile passage for troop withdrawal. ' (LOWELL MELLET) WITH THE AMERICANS AFIELD. July 23. The German retreat northward frdm the Marne is illuminated by burning villages. The sky is alight from horizon to horizon by blazing towns and ammunition dumps as the enemy retires towards the Vesle river line. Aviators re poVt great congestion of German troops on the roads across the Vesle, 16 miles north of the Marne. . RETREAT MADE PERILOUS There is the greatest congestion on the roads below Razoches. The Germans are fighting with heavy rear guard action and are holding the flanks desperately to prevent General Foch's squeezing. Communications be low Bazoches are difficult even under normal conditions .as they consist mostly of winding roads. Their lack of re oair is greater because they were recently fought over. Bombing planes and long range cannon are adding to the Boches' discomiture. BIG RESERVE CALLED , It is estimated the Germans have already used 720,000 men. The number of prisoners is steadilyincreasing.
