AMERICANS BEAT BACK HUNS
AT THE RIVER Marine TAKING
HUNDREDS OF PRISONERS
(By Associated Press.)

Washington. July l5.-The ex-
pected renewal Of the German oifen-
sive in France has begun. A fierce
battle is in progress on both sides Of
the famous cathedral city Of Rheims.
West Of RHEIMS the Germans with
the pressure Of great forces preeed-
cd BY veritable hail Of high explos-
ives crossed the Marne at several
places. East Of the city they have
been held for the smallest gains by
desperately resisting defenders. Al
together the whole battle line aggre-
gates sixty-five miles. The American
troops fighting valiantly, have met
with notable success. At Vaux they
have not only held the enemy but
drove him back several hundred yards
totarning to their trenches only when
the German passage Of the river
MaIne southeast Of Chateau Thierry
made their retention strategically i'm
portant Along the Marne between
the Fossow river Sur Melin the Ger
mans crossed the Marne but we're for
ced back by vicious American coun-
ter blows. At other points the Amer
cans used machine guns with the
greatest effect against the Germans
while crossing streams. The German
atrategic scheme has not yet been
unfolded but il seems evident the
first object is outAanking Rheims
forcing the eity's evacuation. then
gaining Of the southern bank Of the
Marne Strengthening the line toward
Verdum may also be an object. While
the Germans were beginning the
drives the British were attaining con-
siderable gains further north. ital-
ians have continued to make gains in
Albania. while the entente forces
have gained control Of the Murman
coast in northern Russia.

~ British troops in Macedonia
seemingly have started an operation
against the Teutonic allies which
may develop westward along the bat.
th front and eventually confront
with the successful drive which is
being carried out by the French and
Italians in Albania. West Of the
town Of Foiran which lies on the rail-
road north a. Saloniki. the British
have delivered a blow against the
Buigarians which was productive Of
good results.
Details Of the operations are lack
ing but Il is not unreasonable TO as
sumo that Il had in view the ultimate
capture Of the railroad line running
northward from Uskub and the out
hanking Of the enemy lines north
east Of Monastir.
Meanwhile in Albania. the French
and Italians are giving the enemy no
rest. pressing him back daily. mile
after mile over the trackless coun-
try and capturing strategic positions
and villages.
The latest Official communication
shows that the French troops have
taken the village Of Marta and Gram
shi which brings their eastern flank
appreciably nearer Lake ochrida.
Bad weather conditions continue
TO prevail on the greater portion Of
the battle front in France and Fland.
ers and the military operations are
still far below normal. Nowhere have
there been any engagements ranking
in Importance above trench raids and
patrol encounters.
On several sectors, however. big
gus are constantly hammering
away at opposing positions. partieul-
arly on the American front along
the Marne. where the activity Of
the long range pieces has increased
perceptibly; on the sectors held by the
BRITISH. near Albert. KENNEL biill
and Ypres and near Corey where the
French face the enemy.
As yet there is no indication that
the date for the CONNIE ncement Of
the expected grand offensive by the
GermansAthe battle which IL IS
thought viii prove the greatest effort
the enemy has yet made-is at hand.
The military observers. however. still
incline to the belief that with
cessation Of the rains. the drifting
away Of the low lying clouds and a
rctrun Of clear skies, an attempt at
big drive or tho piercing Of the allies
front viii be made.
All apparently is In readiness in
the entente camps for any eventual
ties and supreme confidence evidently
prevails among the commanders that
the men and guns the enemy will
have 20 face will prove an insurmount-
able barrier to Paris or the channel
ports.

Schlndell told the workers at the Fifth

Schindell said, land of the 80 needed in

wives to let their husbands go, and
wondered whether the women might be
holding the men back, although it s easier
sometimes TO get women than men.
Every American ought to stop talking
about doing his bit, and do his best, ls
Mr. Schindel's viewpoint. "And | would
rather take chances with shells, he stat
ed "than waste patience trying To get
men. Not to stand by the men who
fight is to toe unworthy n citizenship in

That the Y. NJ. c. A. is doing the most
