Conflicting gains and losses character

DETAILS OF DESPERATE
FIGHT AT SOISSONS WHEN
GERMANS ROUTED ALLIES
Soissons, via Paris, Jan. IS, 5.05 A.
'M.—The rear guard of the Moroccan
rifle regiments who covered the retreat
of the .French center across the river
on the 14th, acquitted themselves with
distinction. They had been posted in
the village of Crouy.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the
Germans debauched in the road and ad
vanced toward the village. The rifle
men carefully concealed their quick
firers and posted themsolves on. each
side of tho road. Not a sound was made
and nothing was allowed to show above
tho blackened ruins. The Germans
thought .the road was clear and ran to
the villngo to get shelter from the
French heavy artillery. When they were
within 500 "yards of the place the
riflemen opened fire suddenly. The Ger
mans were surprised. There was no
room to deploy and they fell in heaps.
Those who could retreated to the brook
of 'Brave.
Reinforced they reformed their ranks
and attempted to turn the French po
sition from the east side of the village.
Three companies or riflemen were de
tached and charged. The shock was *
awful. Bayonets were twisted out of
shape and then the dusky soldiers used
the butts of their rifles. For a second
time the Germans gave way.
Tho Moroccans were told to hold the
place till 5 p. ni. Tt was then t> o'clock
but they still refused to retire. They
did so only after a stall' officer was
sent to them twice with an order for
retreat. During the night the (icrman
artillery roared ceaselessly in a bom
bardment of Soissons but at dawn of
the loth the artillery slackened r.nd
gave place to inafnrtv fire.
The good practice of the French
three-inch guns, guided by aeroplanes,
prevented German reinforcements from
debouching from the western slope of
the Vregny plateau and the Germans,
exhausted and discouraged at their lack
of success, retired in a body to Crouy
at noon.
Tho French retain the mastery of tho
su'bur'bs of Soissons on the right bank
of the river and of the bridge head.
Their front is stronger than ever.
