MARINES AGAIN
MOVE FORWARD
BY x. C. B.

With the American Army In France
The United States marines made an
other attack on the Germans and PEN
etrated the enemy lines for about q
mile on 600-yard front in the Belleu
wood. northwest of Chateau Thierry,
In addition to prisoners they captured
two minenwerfer of large caliber and
other material. The two heavy pieces
are the largest weapons taken so far
by the indomitable soldiers of the sea
from the United States. They intend
to send at least one of them to Wash
ington to be exhibited to the public.
Heavy casualties were inflicted on
the Germans by the marines who re-
peated their previous performances Of
exhibiting their contempt for heavy
artillery and rifle fire TO which they
were subjected by the enemy. Many
machine guns are reported to be in
the wood and likely we're added to the
trophies captured by the Americans.
Major Edward D. Cole personally is
credited with the capture of number
of German soldiers in the course OF
the engagement

BRIEF NEWS OF THE WAR

Another phase Of the German Of
fensive was opened Sunday morning
in an attack between Montdidier and
Noyon. over a front OF about 20 miles.
preceded by a heavy bombardment
with shells and noxious gases. The
enemy's initial maneuyer evidently
has in view the bending back OF the
allied front toward the town OF st.
Just on the northern wing and toward
the railroad junction Of Compiegne on
the southern flank. getting astride the
oise river and driving southwest to-
ward the French capital.
The French troops appear TO be
putting up a splendid resistance to
this new offensive. especially on the
two TANKS of the attacking front
where the heaviest fighting continues.
The Germans have made some prog
ress in the center. where they claim
the capture OF the heights Of Curry,
while the French admit the loss Of
the villages OF Ressons.sur-Matz and
Mareuil.
The marines and other American
units blocked the Germans northwest
OF Chateau-Thierry By driving forward
themselves. The Americans also com.
pletely stopped three successive en-
emy counterattacks.
AS the result of the two attacks
by the Americans against the enemy
northwest OF Chateau Thierry 300
prisoners we're captured and the Amer
leans extended their line over front
Of about six miles to depth Of nearly
two and half miles. While the losses
OF the Americans necessarily have
been heavy on account Of the nature
Of the fighting. the German dead is
piled three deep in places. A number
Of machine guns were added to the
American booty. All the allied coun-
tries are ringing with praise for the
gallant American marines, who plung-
ed into the battle with the vslor Of
seasoned veterans.

Paris.-The French have struck the
Germans hard blow along q front OF
about ~ miles between Rubesoourt
and st. Maur. recapturing Belloy, Gen

courceIles and Mortemer.
The official announcement BY the
war office OF this gain says that the
Germans suffered heavy losses and
left more than 1000 prisoners and
some guns in the hands Of the French.
Several villages and important
height positions were recaptured from
the Germans and the fighting was a.
terrific as at any time during the war.
II was over this front that the
French, since Sundays offensive be-
gan, had held back the Germans from
keeping pace with the advance they
were making from the center Of the
line south OF Ressons-sur-Matz toward
the Disc river, where the onslaughts
of The invaders were met with q de-
fense in man and gun power that
brought to the Germans enormous
casualties.
The apex OF the German wedge also
was attacked with success and driven
back. while the teutons made . slight
gain nearer Noyon.
American marines also have con-
tinued their brilliant gains against the
Germans in the vicinity Of Chateau
Thierry, having in new terrific at.
tack driven the Germans completely
from Belleu wood, capturing 400 ad.
ditional prisoners and quantity Of
