Washington, July 31.—The German General
Staff has officially admitted that the drive upaa
Paris was a failure, but has promised the people
back home a decisive blow, to be delivered immedt-
I ately against the Anglo-French front. In the Com
munique printed in nearly every German paper
yesterday no mention was made of American par
ticipation.

Allies and ^Germans, now battling in the bloody Soi**ons-RJ*»-
1 ims salient are now bent solely l, non trying to destroy each
i other. »
In his regular conference with correspondents today Chief
I of Staff March declared that: the lone objective remaining now
is to kill as many men as possible. He held out s light hope of
bagging the German army, owing to the resistance in the Soae-
sons-Rheima sectors, to the ends of tht Allied pincers.

Fere-en-Tardenois, General March announced today. This <fi-
vision which in the early days of the German drive around
Rheims helped to withstand the enemy attacks, arrived at its
new post within the last two day* to reinforce other Americam
there. The Third Divislbn, March said, is now at Cierge%
another point of violent fightihg. The formation of six now
divisions, to be numbered from 15 to 20, is under way. TW
transfer of fifteen regiments of the National Army cavalry to
the field artillery has been ordered and these men will be used
at once abroad he declared. Many new Generals will be re-
1 quired for the new units.
