“ME UNDT GOTT NO LONGER PARTNERS
ALLIES CONTINUE MAKE STEADY GAMS AT FRONT
ALLIES THREATEN
TO POCKET HUNS!
WASHINGTON, July 24.—GeneraI March, chief of stall
of the I'nited States army, annmmces'thut the advance of the
Americans and allies along the Aisne and Marne has been par
ticuiarly steady during the last two davfe, despite the fact that ,
fifteen fresh German divisions have been thrown into the fight
ing. Around Noissons the Germans are fighting desperately to
retain the single railway line remaining in their hands, over
which heavy material is removed as they retreat. 'This rail
way runs from Fisnes to Fere on Tardenois. If the allies reach
it the Germans defending that salient will be pocketed.
The Germans have been thrown back a mile and a halt
along a ton-mile front in the Klieims sector, and have lost an
area equal to that gained by the Germans in Flanders in April.
Six new infantry divisions have been ordered in the I nited
States t his month.
General March concluded his statement as follows:
“Tlie Marne Aisne situation is strikingly similar to what
happened during the Austrian drive into Italy. A great storm
allied the allies in both cases, and disaster resulted to the
enemy. It seems as though the Jjord is getting tired of tIje
partnership of ‘me uiult Gott..’ ”
