The government has establislied a

the samo time will prevent the cost
to the consumer going above the es

GERMANS GIVING GROUND
(Fred Ferguson)
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES, July 24. Despite
orders to hold until death, the German rear guard is giv
ing way before an allied attack along practically the
whole battlef ront Prisoners declare the rear guards
were, ordered to hold off the Americans to the last. Vio
lent American assaults wiped them out or took them pris
oners. The advance is proceeding cautiously at all points,
however, because great masses of Germans reinforce
ments are increasing the resistance.
(Frank J. Taylor)
WITH THE AMERICANS AFIELD, July 24. The
German retirement movement within the Soissons-Rheims
salient has been reversed. The movement is now south
ward. It is believed the Germans are prepared to make a
'stiff stand with fresh 'troops. . '
RETREAT POLITICALLY -BAD 1. . .
PARIS, July 24. The German crown prince has sud
denly changed his plans for a strategic retreat from the
Soissons-Rheims sector. He has determined to fight it
out there. This decision is indicated by stiffening enemv
resistance and borne out by German prisoners who de-'
clared the withdrawal ordered has been countermanded.
Prisoners could not explain it but ally leaders believe Ger
man politicians, fearing the internal effect of the huge
retirement, forced the plan's change. The prince con
tinues to order new divisions into the pocket, drawing re
inforcements from the British front far north. .
