Blow Was a Diversion.
Main Blow Between Rheims
and Chateau Thierry.
FRESH TROOPS BROUGHT UP
Huns Throw In Reserves on the
Marine Front.
Officials Believe the Line Can
= Not Be Broken.

/ Washington. July liza clear pic
ture Of the full scope OF the German
effort Is becoming available. Early
reports on renewal of the fighting
show that the American troops are
again engaged heavily but have re-
stored their positions on the Marine
even more fully than during the coun-
ter attack which drove the Germans
back to the river last night. Two of
the towns from which the Americans
were forced in the first German rush
into the exposed position in the river
bend opposite Jaulgonne have been
recaptured.
To the east the Germans appear to
have forced their way across the
Marine on q considerable front in the
Dormans sector. 1t is believed here,
however. that II the American posi-
lions on the flank are maintained, the
Germans east of them will be in great
peril A successful counter stroke
along the river bank heading east
ward from the American positions
might cut them off from the river and
force the surrender OF whole organiza-
Farther east the French reports in
dictate that Franco-rtalian forces are
holding stubbornly along line gene
orally about two miles back of their
original positions. So far no definite
progress towards encompassing them
from the west and east has been made
by the enemy despite lavish en-
ployment of reserves.
Fight East Of Rheims a Diversion.
Officers here are inclined to look
upon the fighting east of Rheims as
more a diversion than q real attack.
without doubt 1t would have been
pressed had 1t met with success. but Its
real purpose Is thought to- have been
to draw French reserves in that d.
rection while the line from Rheims 10
the Marne was pounded back.
/ The fact that tn battle IS going for
ward with increased intensity west OF
Rheims today indicates that fresh
German reserves were rushed up 70
this front during the night, in the ef-
fort to overcome the check admins
tered yesterday by the Franco-Italian
forces. Apparently this sector. includ-
ing the Marine crossing in the Dorl-ians
region, is the vital part OF the German
battle plan and no effort Is being
spared to force the lines ahead.
aWer department officials are
pleased not only at the valor and dash
which the Americans have taken to
their work sin the first great engage
i nsent in which they have participated.
but also with the indications that the
American military machine held to-

ADVERTISING

Tell the truth. Advertising is
the mouthpiece of business. It may
be the ruin of a store with poor
values just as it may be the boon
of a good business which plays the
game honestly. II a man breaks
his word once. he has to advertise
all the MOI e to be believed the next
time. He has to prove by serious
arguments the simplest things,
which people ought to have been
able to take for granted without
being told.''
