Paris, July 22—The newspaper, Temps, says
the French are pushing in south of Soissons and
have crossed the Soissons Chateau Thierry road
north of Villemontire.
(By The Associated Press.)
With the America# Army on the Marne, 2
p. m.—The Germans are clinging desperately to the
line north of Soissons in an effort to protect their
flanks. The Americans on this front have complete
ed the cutting of the narrow guage railway to Cha
teau Thierry. The pounding process is being contin
ued by the allied forces.

(Associated Press War Summary.)
The Germans are fighting with rear guard actions ap
parently in the hope of delaying the relentless pursuit of the
fleeing enemy by the French and Americans, who Sunday pass
ed Chateau-Thierry and continued their advance to the north
east. This reaction of the Germans is marked between the
villages of Grisolles and-Bezu St. Germaine, seven and four
miles, respectively, north of Chateau-Thierry. Along this line,
however, the German attacks have been broken, and the al
lied line maintained.
North of the Ourcq and between Rheims and the Marne,
the reaction is limited to artillery fire- The most interesting
■developments are anticipated now south of Soissons, where the
Americans are reported to have advanced one mile and a quar
ter. In the Ourcq valley, where the allies are pounding their
way toward Manteuil Notre Dame and southwest of Rheims
where the allies apparently are initiating a new drive, the pur
pose is to outflank the Germans between Marfaux and Chatil
lon. If the latter movement develops the allies’ “nut cracker”
will be in full motion.
Virtually all German railroad communications are now
~undei allied control and continued allied successes may compel
the enemy to retreat as far as the Vesle River. f

BIRD’S-EYE VIEW OF WASHINGTON IN WAR TIME
Since the entrance of this country into the world war, the capital is a greatly enlarged city. The influx of
thousands of government employees who have taken up their abode in Washington means the building of horn' s for
them. New government buildings have been built in addition to what already were in use. This view, from the
Washington monument, shows Potomac park, the aviation field and the bridge leading to Virginia.
Says America Must
Wake Up To the Wai
“So iong as I am in the army I
cannot dare tell you a great many
things that would make interesting
reading for your paper and cause
your readers to open their eyes in
wonder, but it is sufficient to say
that the United States and our allies
are fighting a military machine com
posed of baby killers and beasts that
would put hell to shame,” was the
opening remark made by John
Younger Monday morning when ask
ed for an interview by a representa
tive of the Independent.
“On my return from the states I
was gratified to see so many Ameri
can people beginning to arouse them
selves to the seriousness of the war,
but I cannot refrain from saying that
the American people in general do
not yet know there is a war going
on.”
Mr. Younger, who is 28 years of
age, arrived Sunday afternoon from
Cape May, N. J., where he spent
some time in an American hospital
recovering from the effects if gas
poisoning 1 received while on duty in
signal corps service on the Toul
front on April 14. He is recovering
nicely at this time, though he has lost
practically all his front teeth from
the effects of trench mouth. He is
the son of J. L. Younger of this city
On October 7th, last year, I join
J ed the signal corps at Anaconda, Mon
i tana, together with several of my
' friends. I arrived in France in De
cember, being a member of the first
division of Americans to reach the
I firing line, and the first division to
: come in contact with the enemy.
1 “The first real experience we had
was when our boys shelled a German
observation tower, which the French
had been trying to hit for three
years. Following the wrecking >of
the tower our boys went over and
brought back 35 prisoners. At this
time I was sent over with the boys to
i maintain communication at the Ger
i man third line trenches. There were
■ three of us. Before we knew it there
were eight Germans charging the
'three of us* We hurled hand grenades
at them, with the result that the
I eights huns dropped ‘dead, and we
1 continued with the signal operations,
i We first heard the huns as their
| helmets scratched against the barbed
| wire, and they were within twenty
feet of us when they were killed.
“I was the victim of gas on April
14. The gas blinded me, affected my
mouth, in fact, I was poisoned all
over. I was kept in a hospital in
France for some time and finally re
turned to the states recommended as
unfit for further service. I beat the
Lincoln over two days. The Lincoln
was torpedoed and sunk.”
Mr. Younger says many of the
prisoners they took expressed them
selves as being tired of the war and
glad to be captured.
He told of- the atrocities commit
ted by the hun, especially in the
Verdun sector, where he said the
(French people have been reduced to
mental and physical wrecks. The ap
pearance of an airplane, he said, will
cause them to flee in panic. It is no
unusual sight to witness the mis
treatment that had been given 14
year-old girls.
The German is always surprised
to find the Americans can and will
fight. •
“It will take five million Ameri
cans to win this war, and the sooner
you people wake up to that fact, the
better,” Mr. Younger said. “If the
| American people could spend a while
1 in France, where there is no white
! bread for the civilian population and
where only two meals a day are ob
tainable, they would begin to sa
I here and really become awake to
: the situation.”
1 Mr. Younger said he finds the
American people too over-confident.
“The German military machine can
not be whipped this year. The Ger
man, while a coward, is thoroughly
trained and knows he must fight.
If he does not fight, he realizes he
will be killed, so he must do as he is
told.
Save and serve, is the advice
Mr. Younger gives all of us. He is
' anxious to get back into service, and
! hopes to be able to return to France
, soon.
