The American forces on this front de-
livered counter attack upon the Ger
mans in the Vaux region this morning
and drove off the enemy.
1t is reported that the Americans have
advanced their own lines a distance of
several hundred yards, but this has not
been confirmed
The operation at Vaux appeared to be
a feint, for soon after it began the Ger
mans attacked all along the Marne,
where they were CALAMITY opposed by
more of the American troops and the
French.
The first crossing was made at the
peak of the big river bend. The Amer
lean machine gunners and infantrymen
fought and died where they stood here.
Others of the American troops with
drew strategically as the enemy at
tackled from east of Chateau Thierry to
along the Marne, east of Dormans, maxi
ing additional crossings.
Shortly after IL o'clock one of the
American infantry regiments launched
counter attack in the region of Conde.
Reports received here shortly after III
a. m. on the fighting to the east Of
Rheims, said that the enemy, up to about
an hour previously, had made no prog
ress whatever there.
In the Conde region, however, before
the American counter attack, the German
advance appeared to have eliminated the
river salient.
At l;20 o'clock this morning the long
range bombardment was becoming more
intense.
The day opened sunny, but low clouds
are now seurrying over the battlefield,
threatening rain.
Word received here shows that the
enemy also launched an attack east of
Rheims, but on that front, on which
French and Americans are fighting side
by side, the positions are reported intact.
The American machine gunners here
let the enemy come close to their posi-
tions and then opened a deadly fire into
the advancing close formations of Ger
mans.
In their attack on the Marne front
held by the Americans the Germans
threw many bridges across the river.
Over these the Germans are passing un-
der a whitening fire from the artillery.
German progress is being stayed by the
machine gunners.
The Americans and their French COM
rades have resisted the enemy to the ut.
most and are continuing this character
of resistance.
The town of Conde, mentioned as the
scene of an American counter attack,
probably is Conde EN-. Brie, which lies
about three and three fourths miles south
of the Marne and eight miles southeast
of Chateau Thierry

of about so Kilometres approximately
so miles).

Official reports relative TO the grand
offensive begun this morning against the
allied positions show it is the most am
bilious stroke since March 81, when the
Germans launched their assault against
the British lines from the vicinity of
Arras to La Fere. The front in the March
2l offensive was reported to be about
fifty-fve miles in length The one over
which the Germans are attacking to-day
is approximately fifty miles from Chat
eau Thierry, on the west, to Massiges,
in the Champagne, on the east.
The Germans followed their most re-
cent tactics of beginning an offensive.
There was brief artillery preparation
of greatest violence and then came the
advance of assault troops.
There seems, however, to have been
new feature in this attack. Great naval
guns had been brought up behind the
enemy lines and towns and cities far be-
hind the actual battle area were taken
under bombardment The violence Of
this cannonade is evidenced by the fact
that the city of Meaux, 25 miles west OF
Chateau Thierry, was under fire Of great

The apparent purpose of the Germans
attacking along the line from Chateau
Thierry east along the Marne, over the
rolling hills to Rheims and thence east.
ward to Massigs, was similar to that in
the great attack along the Aisne late in
May. They evidently hoped to find the
allies less well prepared in this sector
than elsewhere. In spite Of the repulse
of the Germans before Rheims early in
June, it may be that the allied line
eastward from Chateau Thierry had been
more thinly held than that from Chat
can Thierry north to the Aisne and
thence through the Picardy sector to
Ypres.
German assaulting troops thus might
expect to encounter less violent resist.
ance in the sectors east Of Chateau
Thierry and the Germans possibly hoped
for gains which even would compel an
allied retirement from the Verdun and
st. Mihiel sectors.
The north bank of the Marne is held
by the Germans for distance of twen-
ty miles each from Chateau Thierry. A
successful attack in the Rheims area
might force the allies back on the Marne
still further east and give the Germans
command of the communication system
by which the French and American
troops at Verdun and St Mihiel are sup
piled with food and munitions.
In this district is the city Of Chalons,
which is reputed to be an important sup
ply center. 1t is approximately is miles
back Of the line where mighty armies
are locked in death struggle to-day.
Americans are engaged in the battle at
Chateau Thierry and eastward along
the Marine for some distance Their
positions extend northwest of Chateau
Thierry to the village of Torcy, on the
Clignon river, sand eastward along the
Marine to Jaulgonne, where they have
been engaged in local fighting recently.
General Liggett has about 100000 men,
the First army corps, in this sector. So
far as known no American troops are in
the neighborhood of Rheims, which seems
to be the center of the tremendous storm
loosed by the enemy at dawn to-day.
There have been Italian forces on the
line to the southwest of Rheims in the
present drive.
