The enemy is still holdingstrong positions at Roncheres and St.Gemme, where his line is still lessthan five miles from the Marne. TheFranco-Americ- an troops continued toadvance between Nesles and Diergesto force the enemy to fall ., back toescape being cut off from the rear.

RETIRING TO VESLE RIVERWith -- the American Army on the

Marne Front (Noon) Aug. 1. (ByAssociated Press). The, Germansused less artillery late yesterdayagainst the attacking forces on thisfront, depending more upon theirmachine gunners for defending theirlines. This fact, coupled with storiesof prisoners and deserters lendsstrength to the belief ' that the Ger-mans are planning a withdrawal tonew jqpitions along the Vesle river.A def jrter who came into the alliedlines ldst night declared orders' hadbeen issued for a series of retrogrademovements until Fismes on the Vesleriver is reached. Except for minorengagements, there was only artiKlery fire along the line up to noon to-

day and that was comparaively light.
