ing to the Teutonic allies as follows:
do not be deceived. Germany's
victories will never force the Entente
to accept a peace Of violence. If the
Germans could take Calias and Paris.
and even force France and Italy to
capitulate, there will ever remain the
English den in their isle and America

ways continue the war by sea. The
greatest victory cannot impose a

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE,
July l6-The allied resistance TO the
Germans in the present offensive has
been so great and the German losses
consequently so heavy that enemy diri-
sions which the German STAFF had not In
tended to utilize until tomorrow had to
be thrown into the line by noon yester-
day.
Among the units which attacked the
allied lines on the front southwest or
Rheims were several of the famous
Guards divisions. and these advanced in
such overwhelming numbers that the
Allies. although fighting with the ut
most tenacity and courage. were forced
back slightly in the vicinity OF MarfauS.
Cuchery and Bouilly. The Italians
fought shoulder to shoulder with the
French on this front. The line bent a
little here. but II did not break.
German tanks which attacked north
OF Souan suffered heavily from the al
lied artillery. many OF them being de-
stroyed.
In section OF Champagne lying east
OF Rheims the enemy attack was broken
in its first stage. The point where the
furthest advance was made was Prunay.
where small pocket 1000 yards In
depth was punched out by the enemy

had been observed and minute precau-
tons were taken by the Allies TO hold
their main position. When the attack
began the French fell back on these and
the Germans were unable even with
their best divisions to make any i'm
preston on the defenders except about
Prunay.
This small result. considering the ma
ture OF the attack. is regarded very IA
vorably by the allied STATS. while the
French army holding this portion OF the
battle front displays the fullest conf
dence that any further attempt by the
Germans here will meet similar fate
Aviators flying over the German lines
say that the German losses in this Sec
tor are tremendous.

FRENCH, WARNED OF BLOW,
OPENED DRUM FIRE FIRST
Turned All Their Guns on Foe Hour Before Ger
Artillery Began-Guessed Exact Fronts
With Extraordinary Accuracy.

The most violent fightins was in the
western section. between Dormans and
Fossoy. twenty-eight miles southwest OF
Rheims. On this seven mile front the
enemy made desperate efforts to cross
the Marine in the direction OF Condo.
East OF Rheims the attack began at For:
Pompelle and extended across the Cham
payne plain to Massiges. only few
miles short OF the Argonne forest. with
the massif OF Moronvilliers as the CEN
trail point.
In the Champagne section the FIRST
rush OF the German assault was broken
by the French army to the west OF
Rheims heavy fighting is still in pro-
gress with the Americans. French and
Italians steadily gaining the advantage.
The French had calculated with ex-
traord!nary accuracy the exact front or
fronts on which the attempt by the Ger
mans to break through would be made,
and for that reason the Germans efforts
are far less likely TO succeed than in
any previous offensive.

From a captured map 1t is evident
that the Germans main attack was in
tended to be down the Marine Valley into
Epernay. There is every indication that
the enemy intended the attack should
be really big one. Thirty divisions
so far have been identified Some OF
them come from the army of Crown
Prince Rupprecht OF Bavaria. so it is
believed there is little likelihood of the
Germans launching another attack while
this one is on. The French military
authorities are quite satisfied and they
say they have the situation well in hand.
A statement issued this evening by the
Central News says:
The only progress the Germans have
been able to make since yesterday has
been to the east OF Rheims. in the Pru-
nay sector. where in spite OF terrible
losses the enemy has compelled the
French TO retire to the southwark be-
hind the River Vesle.''

in the region east OF Amiens the British

Never before were the enemy losses
so high. Piles of bodies cover the
ground. The fighting of the Americans

In the region OF Prunay the heavy
attacks OF the enemy were repulsed out
