With the American Army on the Aisne Front July 24.--EXtremely hard fighting has been going on along the line south of Soissons, where the Germans are concentrating in full strength in order to prevent the fur ther imperling of their lines over which supplies must reach them. But notwithstanding them they have made no gains.
 The main road is useless now so far as the Germans are concerned, while the heavy guns of the allies are reaching many of the wagon roads which the enemy has fought hard to retain.
 The Germans can. of course, obtain limited supplies, but it is believed that these will not be sufficient to warrant keeping the army in the line of bat tie.
 The newspaper correspondents to- day witnessed an aerial engagement on the Chateau Thierry front in which the enemy was driven off The enc my observer appeared over two bal looms and was seen to drop bombs and scores of shrapnel were fired at him. Three French machines went to the rescue but the German declined 70 faeht. Nose diving through the ram of shells he strengthened himself and flew away before the allied guns could swing on him or the slower tlyihg planes could get at him.
 The fighting today was not char acterized by any great artillery ac- tivity although the heavy guns con tinued to drop shells on the retreat ing enemy and served to some ex- tent to dlsorganize his movements.
 It was radically different yesterday when the Americans fought three times for the possession of Epieds, the Germans countering every time and stubbornly contesting every movement made by the Franco Americans on the part of the line immediately north of Chateau Thierry.. The Americans passed Epieds today with comparatively lit tie resistance The French on their part or the llne aISO lounu lhe Sh- emy willing to move.
 Hot rear guard actions are contin- uing. The loss among the Germans has been higher than usual on ac- count of their failure to resist stren- uously the advance of the allies. North of Chateau Thierry the allied forces mounted patrols at two places in maintaining contact with their ar mics in the rear
 It is now known that General von Boehm the German commander on this front has managed to move | large part of his guns and stores.
 Owing to the fact that the day was bright and there was little wind avi- ators played an important role in the fighting.
 American aviators in combats north of the Marne on Wednesday downed five German machines. The Americans suffered no losses. Their first fight was with a German squadron of twelve planes, the bat tie lasting nearly two hours. Four Germans were downed. Later the Americans shot down another enemy plane

WAR AT A GLANCE
CBy the Associated Press.)

tRV the ASSOcldteQ preSS.)
 Violent German counter attacks and rear guard actions in great strength still fail to serve the German high command as barriers to the advance of the allied troops on the Soissons- Rheims salient.
 True, they have aided somewhat in slowing down the fast pace set by the allies at the commencement of the of fensive, but nevertheless on the three sides of the U shaped battle front, further important gains have been made.
 Driving slowly but surely south of Soissons, the Americans and French troops have pushed their fronts fur ther eastward toward that part of the Soissons-Chateau Thierry railroad line that is still In the hands of the sides of the Ourcq river and the road leading to Fere-en -Tardenois, Ger many's great storehouse for the sup ply of her troops to the south, i'm portant penetrations into enemy -held territory have been made until the maximum point where the allies are fighting near Coincy is about ten and one half miles from their point of departure last Thursday
 In the Marne region north of Cha teau Thierry the Americans and French have met with the fiercest kind of resistance, for here the Ger man machine gunners and infantry men are striving hard to stay their progress in an endeavor to extricate large numbers of the German forces who are in danger of capture, and also to save part of the great mum ber of guns and quantities of war materi- als which it is impossible to get out except by the high roads over undu- lating and wooded country.
 The advantage in the fighting, how ever, has rested with the amalga- mated allied troops, who have pushed on northward past the village of Epieds and busted the Germans from the greater part of the Chatelet forest.
 
 villages of Epieds and Trungy-Epieds which were captured by the Ger mans and were recaptured Wednesday, in a counter attack by the Americans. Pressing on northward the allies have driven their front beyond Cour- poit which lies about six and one half miles northeast of Chateau Thierry
 Along the aMrne at several points notably near Chartres and Jaulgonne and further east at Treloup the all lies had put the northern bank or the Marne further behind them in advances and, captured a large num- Der of cannon and machine gums and considerable war materials. In the region between the Marne and Rheims. where the German crown numbers of picked achievements to| stay the British, French and Italians, his warriors are meeting with hard usage. Following up the advances of the French and Italians of Tues day the British immediately to the southwest of Rheims apparently have began a movement which possibly portends good results.
 Here the British have overcome strong counter attack and, following 1t with violent bombardment, and struck the German he at Vrgny Tor a goodly gain This maneuver if it is

MEN APPROPRIATE FOOD
 TO THEIR OWN USES
German Food Trains Have Been Held Up by the Soldiers, the Guards Killed and the Provisions Seized by the Men on the BattIefield-Orders No Longer Issued in Stern Man. ner.

With the British Army in France, July 23.-Tuesday.-The claim of the German higher command that the re- tirement on the Marne is part of a set program is given the lie by an order of General von Boehm, com mander of the seventh army. The seventh army has borne the full weight of the Fooh counter offensive on hte west and it's divisions around Soissons suffered heavily at the hands of the Americans, while those east of Chateau Thierry were thrown back across the Marne by the pres . sure of the French.
 For this reason the order Of Gen. eral von Boehm, written month prior to the beginning of the battle is of unusual significance. He de- plores the lack of discipline which resulted in the pillaging of stores in the back area during the advance in May when all edible booty found in the wake of the French speedily vanished, instead of being distrib- uted among the hungry troops in due proportions. The order continues:
 ''h is necessary to depart from the beaten track which has been followed in the utilization of material and pro- visions and stores from the occu- pied territory Hopes of the utili- zation of captured food as rations and of the distribution of fixed por- tions of the provisions to the fight ing troops have proved to be fal- lacious owing to the fact that the troops have taken these provisions themselves and eaten them without treating them as part of the author ized scale of ratfons.
 'ln this way some units which have chanced to have the oppor- tunity to capture booty of this de- scription have lived in abundance while others are suffering privations. Furaher 1t has not been the troops in the front line to whom this more than abundant supply of food has fallen, but second line troops, train echelons and especially stragglers, who are roaming about behind the army.
 Tt has even happened that men have taken food without authority and by forces from the stores iii the military occupation and administra- tion, and I regret to say, some off, cers have not been ashamed to in- terfere with the guard in the execu- tion Of their duty and to insult the officials to whose charge the pro- visions were tntrusted. It appears to be necessary for the supply offi- cials to follow the first line troops as closely as possible and to be &C., companied by escorts of cavalry or police, so that important stores and depots may at least be administered b them with as little delay as pos sible.
 If our progress results in the oc- cupation of new area this must be placed under a regular system of exploitation as soon as possible. Or- der must be maintained in the vil- lages by sentries and patrols. The patrols must be prevented and pro- hibited from making acquisitions in the fields and taking the crops. The people at home are so short of all provisions necessary to life that enough can never be done to dim finish the amount which they have

Where the moonlight and starlight are

No questions or cares to perplex you:

And when I'm tired I'll nestle my head
In the bosom that's soothed me so

And the wide-awake stars shall sing in

Charles J. Hatfield, executive secre-
tary Of the Nationl Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
that "the war will not increase tuber-
culosis, but it will disclose It"
Admittedly, thousands of men who
should never have been taken from
civil life were passed by the original
examining surgeons. The process Of
examination was necessarily hasty
one. The detection Of incipient tuber-
culosis is not possible through such
means.
A thorough examination by an ex-
pert is required. This all the men are
now receiving, and it is not strange
that so many tuberculosis sufferers
should be found. It should be under
stood that the majority Of these ex-
hibit no obvious symptoms. but are ap-
parently hale and hearty.
But it is realized that the disease
might make rapid progress under the
hardships of life in the trenches, and
it is the part of wisdom to keep these
men at home.
