Since July IS Von Hlndenburg has engaged eighty-seven divisions (1.044, 000) Including forty-seven divisions (664,000 men) In the Marne pocket. , German losses since July 16, the dato when the Crown Prince began his last drive, were officially estimated to day at from 300,000 to 350,000 ,of which 40,000 are prisoners. Allied losses cer tainly are much less. London, Aug. 6. On the Somme front the Germans have made another retreat on 'the line between Montdldtcr and Morcutl, about seven miles, and the Allies arc pressing closely behind them. The German retirement com pelled In the Albert sector wns some what more extensive than was then reported, extending between Dernan court and Hnmel. about seven miles. The German official statement ot last night mentions the withdrawal from the positions weBt of the Ancre to the east bank of the river. The meaning of these withdrawals of the Germans on a front of seven mnes on the Ancre and of ten miles on both sides of the Avre Is not yet clear. The later section was held until recently by American trim nnri in. eludes Cantlgny, where they had their nrst important, ngnt with the Ger mans, but these Americans mnv hnv been transferred to the Marne when mitrencn ouensive Began thqre.

"Our troops "vu uiKen .rismes Dy assault and hold tho south bank of the Vesle In this section," says General Pershing's communication covering yesterday's flfdvtlng. rn an earlier communique General Pershing reported that the enemy, Sat urday, In his "second great defeat on the Marne, was driven in confusion beyond the line or tho Vesle," the Al lied troops reaping "tho fruits of vie tory. The American troons alone captured 8400 prisoners and 133 guns. "The enemy.

FOCH ENVELOPING FOE IN NEW POCKET on tho Marne will again threaten the enemy. The longer he clings to the Vesle the more time will be given to uenerai ioch to drive his nanKs norm ward, thus deepening tho new Vesle salient. The German high command can over come this strategy only by withdrawing from the Vesle or by throwing nn Im mense number of reserves Into defeaslvo positions north of Solssons and Rhelrns. ir he thus uses up his reserves ior ue fcnslve fighting the enemy will be play ing General Foch's game.

If General Foch can move his flanks northward' for a sufficient, distance before the Crown Prince starts to retreat from the Vesle, the Allies will begin to Close in behind th Afana TYIvat (Iva In tfn nillPS north of the Vesle, and In general parallel to It. When tho. Germans then commence to retire a disastrous night across the Alsne under fire of tho Allies' nrtltlery might well be the best they can expect. The Alsne Is now In high flood That means serious difficulties In getting ar tillery across. A day's delay may thus turn out to be fatal to the enemy. RAW AT TOUL WINS RICH BOOTY FOR V. S. By the United Press With the Amerlcnn Armies In France, Aug. 6. Fighting on the "quiet" sectors of the American front was more active yesterday than for some time past. American troopi raided enemy positions north of Toul, capturing a great quan tity of small arms, materials and ma chine guns. Ono of the latter was taken while in action, tho doughboys killing the entire crew. Tho number of Ger mans killed during the raid was consid erable. In the Lorraine area American artil lery frustrated a raid by a patrol of specially trained troops, cutting oft sev eral, who were captured. The prisoners explained thnt patrols ot specially pick ed and trnlncd troopt are now touring the "quiet" sectors of the lines in com panies of twenty to fifty for the pur fiose of capturing outposts and obtain ng Information. The fact that the Germans are obliged to form special units for this work means a scarcity of men intelligent or Inter ested enough to conduct the usual ln-formatlon-gatherlng raids. FOE INCREASES FORCE OF ARTILLERY ATTACK By J. W. T. MASON VMted Prca War Kzpert New York, Aug 5. Another deadly pocket Is being formed by General Foch around the retiring Permans on the Vesle. The sides of thn wedge are being forced northward from Solssons toward the Chemln-des-Dames and from Rhelms toward Berry-au-Bac, while the Germans on the Vesle. between Solssons and Rhelms, are gradually being left In the hollow.

American patrols are acros the Vesle. After the Americans took Flsmes, other United States troops moved northward In tho Mareuil-cn-Dole region.

"Two days later, tho submarine showed Itselr, Blnklng by shellflrc a tug and some barges off the Massachusetta coast. After that tho raider apparently worked north ward. , There were at least two submarines operating In the first raid, which was confined largely to the waterB off the Virginia, Maryland and Now Jersey coasts. It continued three weeks and some twenty vessels, the majority sail ing craft, were sunk. None, however, was of military value and several of them subsequently were raised and taken to port for repairs. New Yorli, Aug. 5. There were forty-nine men on board the tank steam ship o. is.
