12 FOCH CAPTURE OF MARNE TOWN IS VITAL TO HUNS Stuffs Them in Pocket Little More Than Twelve Miles Wide By Associated Press Paris, July 2 7.—The Paris news papers to-day still were devoting considerable space to comment up on the capture of Oulch'y-le-Chateau on the' westerly side of the Marne salient and pointing to it as conclu sive proof of the inability of the Germans to resist the slow but steady allied pressure at a point where the Germans had evidently no intentions of yielding unless forced to do so. Situation Desperate For Enemy "This is," says the Echo De Parts, "one of • tiose progressive gains which enable us to verify our view of the confusion into which the enemy has been thrown by our of fensive. It emphasizes the terrible situation of the enemy's troops in a pocket little more than twelve miles wide and swept by our artillery fire from three directions, and the nar row passage from which in the cen ter is under the incessant (ire of our aviators. (The writer apparently is referring to the lower end of the pocket below the line of Fere-en- Tardenois). "The Germans are prevented from using the railroads and are moving with the greatest difficulty over roads swept by our heavy artillery and bombed by our aviators. This is re sulting in losses and delays and in the abandonment of considerable amounts of munitions." The Matin thinks the Marne- Rhelms front will soon become box like in shape and points out that the crown prince if he accepts a general engagement, will have to go into it under unfavorable conditions within the rectangular space. 50 Miles Distant From Paris Premier Clemenceau's newspaper, L'Homme Libre" dwells upon the value of the allied advance in the region where the Germans had made their farthest thrust towards Paris. It points out that whereas the enemy but a few days ago was little more than 40 miles from Paris he now has been hurled back until he is more than 50 miles distant from the capital. 142 Planes in Air Battles During Week; 76 Huns Down; British, 51 ><ontlon, July 2 7.—Throughout the week the aerial lighting on the west ern battle front has been of a violent character.
