Germans Press Retreat on Verdun Front
Day by day the retreating German forces gain ground toward Soissons and Fibmes with captives reported. General Sir John French is expected to cling to the retreat as long as his troops hold, aided by French cavalry reputedly equal to any in the world. The Belgian army, active again, advances from Antwerp forts and retakes Aerschot and Malines, pushing toward August and Louvain while harrying German columns moving south toward France.
