Germans Launch Counter Attac

OFF

With the American Army on the
Marne, July 10 (+:5o p. IN. m.'-Wcst OF
Chateau -Thierry, between Vaux and
hill 2o4, the enemy launched small
local attack against the American
forces today, but was speedily beaten
off with losses.
This operation subsidized quickly and
the enemy contented himself for the
remainder of the day with the laying
down of heaviest bombardments over
the positions. which availed him
nothing.
In counter-attacking operations
during the day the Americans in
creased their number of prisoners ma
terially and at this hour it is possible
to announce that the entire operation
is going we'll and that all conditions
are extremely satisfactory.
Throughout the Germans fought
with the utmost stubbornness. being
loathe to give up ground but they are
declared to have been unable to with
stand the storming OF the allied
troops, whose advance was preced-
ed by terrific fire. Only to the
south of the Bois des Rochet did tile
enemy succeed in holding his ground
temporarily.
With the American Army on the
Marne, July I6.-From prisoners TAX
EN- by the Americans it is established
that the enemy has used up a large
portion of his reserves since yester-
day morning. Yet he has been held
virtually everywhere in this sector.
The morale OF the last prisoners
taken is excessively low, in fact, low
tr than any captured in recent
months.
The fighting. following the Amerl-
can courter-attack which drove the
Germans back long distance yester-
day, has continued fiercely. Some OF
the ground has been fought over sew
eral times.
