(By The Associated Press)
The Germans have thrown nearly
million men into the gigantic battle
between scissors and Rheims and
have been yicloUsly counter attacking
all around .he circular line that
borhood of Rheims.
Even this formidable force how
ever, appears to have made not more
than a dent or two in the Allied front
in its latest effort, while at va
rious points progress for the Allies.
slight but important. is reported.
Regarding the strength of the Ger
man forces, unofficial advices state
that there are II Teuton divisions en-
of a German division is about 13, 500
on normal footing, SO that it all the
units resisting the Allies north Of
the Marne have been kept up to
standard there are 958,500 men try.
ing to hold the line until the situa.
ton is relieved. OF these divisions
there are 10 drawn from Crown
Prince Rupprecht's army in the
north.
The German crown prince had in
the neighborhood of 100000 men be-
tween Rheims and Chateau Thierry
when the attack across the Marne be-
gan on July Is. The increase in the
number of divisions engaged in the
battle would appear to indicate that
he had since that time drawn heavily
on other army groups 1t would also
fleets the importance of this baltic
in the eyes of the German high COM
mand.
Through the German counter blow
the Americans were driven back from
Cierges, southeast of Fere-en-Tar-
denois while to the northwest of Fere,
the Americans have also been forced
out of Beugneux, into which they had
penetrated after passing through
Grand Roxoy.
Buzancy, situated on, the west side
| of the Crise river about five miles
south of Scissors, has also been the
scene of heavy fighting, and the
battle appears to have been general
along the line south of that point,
notably in Plessier wood, near where
the front turns abruptly to the east.
| On the other end of the battle line
heve has been sharp engagements but
reports credit the Allies with making
an advance at Aubilly, in the Ardre
valley west Of Rheims. They have
also forged ahead further down
toward the bottom Of the pocket, at
illers-Agron-Aiguizy.
| While these counter blows against
the Allied lines are general and of
great violence, it is not believed in
London that the enemy intends to
make real stand south of the Vesle
river. Paris. on the other hand.

may have fixed upon the present To-
cation of their armies as the field up
on which the will turn at bay.
There have been patrol operations
along the British front.
Little has been reported to amplify
the Copenhagen dispatch to the effect
that Turkey and Germany have brok-
en- off relations. Amsterdam advices,
however, indicate that Turkey in
tends to pursue an aggregressive pol

supposedly set aside for German ex-
lploitation. This may carry a measure

Anti-Gcrman in Office.

Anti German in Office.
When the present Sultan came to
the throne in Constantinople few
weeks ago, some strong anti Germans
came into power. It has been a
question whether these men were in
strong enough position openly to defy
the Teutonic powers. Many Turkish
officials long have resented the dom
mating ways of the Germans and
have blamed them for the lack of
food and other supplies in Turkey, as
we'll as the reverses sustained by the
Turkish arms.
Germany promised assistance to
the Turks in the Palestine and Meso-
potamia campaigns where the British
forces have been consistently defeat
ing the Turks. In neither case has
the German pledge of aid been full
filled and the Turks are known to
be indignant as a result.
The strained relations between Tur-
key and Bulgaria. which recently re-
suited ih armed conflict, according to
reports, have caused strong anti-Ger-
msasfeeiing in both countries The
TURKS. arg satisfied that they did no,
sreatn2 6 y. territory
when. the peace With Rumania was
signed and the Bulgars have much
the same feeling. Both countries are
said to realize that they are being
Impoverished by the Germans in the
effort to provide food for the Teu-
tonic soldiers and OWL population.
This reported attitude on the part
of Turkey may account in part for
the report received through Copen-
hagen that Turkey and Germany has
severed relations.
Early this month it was reported
through Washington that Germany
was becoming alarmed over the ag.
gressive territorial tendencies of hel
Allies, especially Turkey. Severa
weeks, earlier it has been reported
that Germany had ordered Turkey tc
stop her advance in the eastern Cauc'
asus. Almost simultaneously, an
nouncement came from Berlin thai
German troops had been landed a,
Poti, on the Black Sea coast, an i'm.
portant point on the railroad running
through Tiflis to Baku. On June %
Turkey signed a peace treaty with
the trans-Caucasian government bu
the terms have never been reported

Heavy Fighting Reported.

London. July 30.-very heavy fight
ing has been in progress along the
whole battle front from Ville-en-Tar-
denois to Buzancy, according to ad-
vices received up to noon today. It
has resulted, so far. however, in little
progress for the Allies.
Another German thrust drove the
Americans back from Beugneux, near
Grand Rozoy, northwest Of Fere-en-
Tardenois.
Some advance has been effected
along the easterly side of the front
towards the village Of Aubilly. A
certain amount of ground likewse has
been gained near the center in the
neighborhood of Villers-Agron-Aigu-
izy.
The main advance in westerly side
Of the front seems to have been at
Grand Rozoy, about five miles north
west of Fere-enT Tardenois. The
French here are progressing north on
to the crest Of the plateau between
the Vesle and Ourcq.
There has been heavy fighting near
Buzancy, five miles south of SofsB0ns,
and also in Plessier wood, about five
miles further south. In this latter
locality As prisoners were taken be-

envy now engaged in the Marne sal
