With the American Army In France.
In an attack upon the German lines
on the Marine front the American
troops extended their line northwest
OF Bleleau wood, and ZIG prisoners had
been counted, together with a number
Of machine guns and other booty. Ad.
ditional prisoners were coming in.
The Americans made an irresistible
rush for. the complete clearing Of the
woods, In which It was learned the
Germans were still occupying a small
strip of the underbrush.
The attack was preceded by a 13.
hour bombardment from the American
artillery. German prisoners taken pay
tribute to the brilliant dash Of the
Americans, declaring the men in the
assaulting party fought like demons.
The Germans were virtually cleared
out of the Belleau wood several days
ago, but the discovery was made that
under cover OF darkness they had
planted machine guns behind huge
holders In a sunken roadway. in shell
holes and in trees in a narrow area on
the edge of the woods.
1t was most difficult to get at them
in these positions, and some fierce
hand hand fighting occurred while
the clearing process was being carried
out.
The Americans now r IN posses

cal positions in the Belleau's woods

that the Italians have taken the often

lacks here are to Illustrate the proba-
BILE impending offensive for which the
Austrians have been preparing. Con
siderable ground and many prisoners
have been gained by the Italians.
Under the fire Of Italian machine
guns and artillery, which were brought
up rapidly, the Austrian withdrawal
across the Piave soon became a disor-
derby rout. 1t is estimated the Aus
trian losses total more than zoo, 900.
On the Montello the slaughter was
terrific. Bodies of Asturian troops
were moved down almost in their en-
tirety. At the crossing at Nervesa
both banks of the river were strewn
with dead and dying, while hundreds

The Duke of Aosta's Third army

It is impossible to foretell how many
