American Victory Is
Of Utmost Importance

NEW YORK, July 1.-The brilliant
American advance west OF chateau
Thierry last night has destroyed
Chateau Thierry's usefulness to the Ger
mans as a supply center Tor Won Hill
denburg's army of the Marine.
The capture of Vaux puts American
artillery within a range of two miles of
the Chateau Thierry railway station.
This is the most important terminus
the Germans hitherto have possessed
for their line of communications rum
ming from the Marine to the Aisne. 1t
will be impossible for Won Hindenburg
hereafter to use this station. The Ameri-
cans now dominate it completely.
Chateau Thierry's own safety is seri-
ously menaced by the American adj
vance. The German positions at VauX
were exceptionally strong, because Vaux
guards the main highway running into
Chateau Thierry from the west The
Americans now control this road. The
capture of Hill 2O4 which apparently
has been made by united Franco-Ameri-
can forces, doubly assures the safety
of the Americans on the Vaux road. Hill
204 is midway between Vaux and Cha
teau Thierry. dominating the VauX road
from the southern flank.
There are no remaining StrongholdS
protecting Chateau Thierry from the
west. The defense of Chateau Thierry
henceforth must occur within the i'm
mediate environs of the town itself.
The town may fall to the Americans
at the next assault. D..
The new American exploit inspires
confidence in the effectiveness OF the
American system of training.
The method of assigning in advance
to each man his post in the town to
be captured, and of identifying that post
by pers'. nal maps and photographs,
marks q new advance in the technique
of offensive fighting. The cautious dis
covery of enemy machine gun nests,
and their determination by artillery fire,
demonstrates the Americans are not
throwing away their lives by the reck-
less impetuous assaults of anna teur SOL
diers, but are fighting in accord with
the most recently applied scientific prin-
ciple.
Only by such carefully devised and
patient methods can the casualties of
an offensive operation be kept to mini
mum. There is every reason to be sat
isfied, therefore, with what the Ameri-
cans have done, not so much because
of the Importance of the accomplish
ment but because of the promise it
holds out. The Americans are showing
the craftiness of veterans combined
with the battlefield energy and eficien-
cy of natural warriors. With that spirit
developing so early in Americas new
armies. the allies may we'll be confident
Of final victory for democracy.

Americans Destroy Hun
REGIMENT, Take 500 Prisoners

WASHINGTON, July 3.-five hun
dred prisoners, virtual humiliation OF
a complete German regiment and heavy
captures of military booty was the rec
ord of American forces near Chateau
Thierry Monday, General Pershing re-
ported today.
The Americans, in capturing NauX,
the Boise de la Roche and the neighoor-
ing wood, advanced on mile and a haI
front to a depth Of 1000 yards Heavy
enemy counter attacks were complete
w repulsed. American aviators par
ticipated in the brilliant assault and
three failed TO return to the lines,
Pershing added.
The communique, under date OF July
., follows:
yesterday afternoon, in the Cha
teau Thierry region, our infantry, with
effective cooperation from our pat
teries, stormed the village of Vaux, the
Bots de la Roche and neighborlng
wood.
The attack was made in co-opera-
ton with the French on our right, who
advanced their line on Hill 204. Our
own positions were advanced on
front of a mile and a half and to
depth of 1000 yards.
'The enemy's losses in killed and
wounded were heavy. His regiment
holding the sector attacked offered oo-
stinate resistance and was practically
annihilated. Our losses were relatively
slight. A German counter attack, made
early this morning, was entirely repuls-
ed. The enemy again suffered severely
and left additional prisoners in our
hands. The prisoners captured in the
attack and counter attacks number over
500 and include six officers. This In
creases the total prisoners taken by
our troops in this vicinity during the
last month to nearly 1900. The mate
rial captured by our troops during yes
terday afternoons operations includes

Summary of Weather and Crop Conditions in the
Cotton Belt for the Week Ending July e.
1915
WASHINGTON. D. c., July 3.-The week
averaged warm in western and cool in the east
cotton area. Rain occurred in most places
except south and west Texas and was heavy in
parts of Georgia and Florida. The weather was
favorable for cotton, except that il was too dry
in western Texas and tine nights were too cool
in the northeast. Early cotton is holding out
well in Texas, but late planted is suffering
severely, especially in the western portion. Sat
isfactOry development took place in most other
sections and the crop is well cultivated. The
weather favorable in the south for thrash
ing and harvesting potatoes and truck. and for
the growth of corn cane sorghum, sweet pota-
toes, peanuts, fruit and rice, except where there
was lack OF moisture.-Marvin.
Synopsis of Weather and Crop Conditions in
Georgia for the Week Ending Tuesday,
July Q, 1918
During the past week che droughty conditions
especially prevailing in the central portion OF
the state were relieved by well-distributed show
ers. except al few scattered localities where
it is still too dry. 4 large majority of crop
correspondents report that nearly all crops are
growing rapidly. In few sections where more
rain than needed has fallen grassy fields are
reported, but these are the exception, and
sidering the general scarcity of labor, il is re-
markable how well advanced farm work has
been kept. Cotton is good, and the bolls seem
to be forming nicely, though many fields are
still small ard backward; the most serious
drawback is the fact that the fields are in
tested by the weevils in most southern counties.
Corn is sood 1t is coming into silk and tassel
in the north, where laying by continues. Sweet
potatoes doing well; setting slips continues
Here and there where suffering for rain pas
lures continue poor, though they have generally
improved in other sections; some hay was saved
during the week; planting peas for hay in stub
BILE lands continued during the week. Peanuts
doing weIl as also most minor crops. Ship
mehts of watermelons and cantaloupes contin-
ues. liberia peaches are beginning to ripen
and promise larger and better favored fruit
than the early varieties. Gardens suffered con-
sideraoly from the dry weather, but at this
season most early vegetables have reached ma
turity, and gardens, anyway, begin TO show
signs Of drying up; planting fall gardens has
begun.

Americans Push Germans
Back: Gain on 2-MiIe Front

WITH THE AMERICANS UN The
MARINE, July 2.-(10:55 q. m.)-Amer-
lean troops advanced on a Iwo-miIe
front west of Chateau Th1erry last
night to the depth of more than half a
mile.
Our men took the village of Vaux
Hill 1872, La Roche Wood and penetrated
Clerembaut Wood.
Combined French and American at
tacks on Hill 204. conducted simultane-
ously with the American attack on
NauX, are reported to have been sue
cesSful after a bitter battle.
The hills are very important in DOM
mating Chatea u-Thierry Is we'll as the
country to the left.
Perfect cooperation between the ar
tillery and infantry made the Ameri-
can advance possible as some portions
of the German line were unusually well
adapted to defensive purposes.
The Smelling lasted from O'CLOCK
yesterday morning until O'Clock last
night. Then the infantry swept for
ward and attained all it's detectives in
forty minutes.
The advance was made on a front of
about three kilometers u.S63 miles) and
reached a maximum depth of a kilo-
meter (.621 miles,.
One of the most remarkable artillery
successes yet staged by Americans pre-
ueded the attack The back areas were
thoroughly swept. Complete neutarliza-
ton of the German artillery were EVIL
dence by the feebleness of its reply.
The concentration of fire later on
Vaux resulted in the gunners hitting alb
solutely every building in the town.
Exceptionally intelligence work resulted
in every man entering the place with
an exact description, together with pho
tographs and maps indicating buildings
each was expected to occupy. When they
reached the town they found the maps
more valuable than the photographs, as
the artillery had wiped out any resem-
blance to a house.
The advance, which carried the Amer
leans down two depressions and up onto
a plateau, was made in skirmlsh forma-
ton behind a perfect barrage and land
ed them in the town practically I'M
scratched, although the left wing met
stiff opposition from machine guns in
the wood.
Twenty three minutes after their de-
parture from the trenches the Ameri-
cans were in Naux. Half an hour later
the American ambulances were there
The work of the latter was vastly less
than might have been expected.
