——i TERRIFIC PRESSURE ON THE MARNE "POCKET" ENEMY'S PEESS PREPARE PUBLIC FOR RETIREMENT' ATTACK ON THE NEW' ZEALANDERS : ENEMY REPULSED The news from the Western front to-day discloses no dramatic developments. Tlio Germans are still in tho Marne pocket, from the hot- . torn of which, says tho United Press correspondent, they are in full retreat. Tho pressure in tho salient is increasing:, hut the enemy is still stubbornly resisting at Soissons, on, which front tho French havo hot made much progress.- Elsewhere in tho Marne region they havo advanced about a mile on over twelve miles of front, taking prisoners and booty. The German Press is preparing its public for a retirement from the Marno front—one -paper hints that it may be necessary to with- , draw to tho Aisno, if not further north. These retirements, it is stated, of course, will be "strategic," in order to prepare for a now blow. Tho situation in Russia is developing rapidly to its next phase, the overthrow of Bolshevism. The Czecho-Slovaks havo again defeated tho Bolsheviki in a battle in the Volga region, and their countrymen in Siberia are mating a strong effort to join hands with them by a march westward. Details of tho Allies'plans for Amorico-Japanese intervention in Siberia show that 60,000 mixed troops aro to bo sent. Tho King, replying to an address from tho overseas delegates to tho War Conference, indicated that the Prince of Wales would tour tho Empire after tho war.
