Special to The Guardian) I

LONDON, Sept. 2.-German armies

are in retreat all along the front from Ypres to -Iihelms. At some points the enemy finds it necessary to fight fiercely contested rear-guard actions to prevent the retreat from 'becoming a rout at other points the German leaders claim to have been able to_ withdraw the major part of their troops without having been perceiv- ed leaving rear guard to await the pursuit following upon discovery. I In point of territory recovered the

most important withdrawal since' Saturday is that in the Lys salient. There the Germans have given up not only Bailleul, Kemmel llill and the adjacent ridge position in the capture of which last April they sus- tained tens of thousands of casual- ties, but they 'are now well east of the River Lawe and clearly intend to withdraw to their former positions in' Gout of the Auhres Bridge lf not farther. They are now being closely'

Dursued by the British troops. I Sir Douglas Haig reported last night' herd fighting at Neuve Eglise and Wolverghen_ British troops according to s report issued lsst night are now lt Lagorgue near Estaires. Paris is Jlibilant over the retreat of the army qiflion Quest. Msncel Huetln in the
