With the Americans Between the
Aisne and the Marne, July l9.-(ll p
m.)-America troops attacked on a
front of several klometers southwest
of Scissors late this evening. Fighting
was still in progress at the hour OF
cabling. with the Americans advancing.
The assault was made east of Coeuv-
res, near Missy-Aux-Bois and extended
over a wide front to the southwark.
(Missy-Aux-Bois is more than four
miles southwest of Scissors The whole
line between the Aisne and the Marne
apparently is very irregular, especial
" in the region Of Soissons.)
German counter attacks in the re-
gion of Scissors continued and were
repulsed The French and Americans
made further advances northeast OF
Chaudun, cast Of Very, and east OF
Courchamps.
This indicates new Franeo-Amerl'
can advances in various portions OF a
front of about 16 miles Chaudun is
five miles southwest of SCISSORS and
two miles south of Missy-Aux-Bois.
Vierzy is two miles south Of Chaudun.

German Plans Upset.

The committee was told that the Ger.
mans appeared to have planned two
offensivts--one dgainst the Americans
and French, to be closely followed by
one against the British.
The ability Of the British to start
strong counter offensive of their own
now depends upon how far he Germans
have been forced to withdraw men and
materials from that sector TO reinforce
the lines where the French and Ameri-
cans are attacking.
War department officials admitted
it is possible that the Germans claim
Of 10000 prisoners is true, but it was
stated that if the Germans had taken
this number they had done it in the
very early stages Of the fighting before
the Franco American counter attack
The committee was told that the country
must prepare for heavy casualty lists
which would probably be coming in for
the next 80 days. No word concerning
casualties has yet been receivtd from
General Pershing.

enemy efforts there have been grow
ing lighter and lighter in the last four
days.
Prisoners report withdrawal Of Ger
man artillery and infantry concentra-
tions north and northeast of Chateau
Thierry to meet the Franco American
threat northwest Of the city.
American airmen brought down two
more German planes this morning while
patrolling east Of Chateau-Thierry. Our
aviators report there are fewer enemy
machines along the battle lines, they
evidently having been Withdrawn to
other localities.
An American unit notified the COM
mander of an escadrille today that
three German observation balloons near
Chateau Thierry were "seeing too
much "Twenty minutes later all three
were blazing wrecks on the ground.
Incomplete figures today show that
American units have captured more
than five thousand Germans, including
numerous Officers. Among the latter
were several majors and lieutenant
colonel. The figures will be greatly
augmented when the count is complet-
ed. Additional prisoners are constant
ly being picked up.
The areas in the rear of the allied
line are almost as busy as the front,
Unending streams of supplies, artillery
and men are rolling forward5- while
similar lines Of motor trucks are NOV
ing to the rear carrying wounded.
Shells burst all about. Trees are strip
ped until they resemble toothpicks,
while substantial buildings are reduc-
ed to shapeless heaps of rubble. The
men are excited at the prospect Of
getting into the fight, as they arrive
at the front and are constantly cheer
ing and singing.
The Americans who swept forward
with the French from three to five
kilometers on the first day near Cha
teauThierry are impatient because
they are holding the pivotal sector and
must wait until their comrades farther
north swing in, surrounding the Ger
mans.
Allied airmen report severe congest-
ing on the roads extending northward
through Chateau-Thierry while prison
ers say the Germans are hastily re-
moving all guns and materials in that
region in an effort to save them. Ev-
cry prisoner expressed amazement at
the rapidity and unexpectedness Of
the allied attach. The doughboys re-
port that most of the prisoners were
taken when the first wave caught the
boches asleep in their dugouts Many
machine guns were taken before the
Germans had time to remove the pro-
tective cases from them.
An advance Of one American unit is
preserved for posterity Through the
bravery of a movie man-an officer.

very hilly country between Chateau

In the Champagne, the positions

The front over which we advanced

The maximum penetration as report

In this advance there were six Am

(The regular colored troops referred
to above were on the allied right, but
March did not designate the particu-
lar outbit, between Scissors and Cha

Attack ON Flank
The allied counter offensive is not
an eneircling movement. 1t is aimed
at the chief supply line Of the Germans
running into Chateau-Thicrry and was
delivered on the flank because such
blow would cripple the Germans more
than a push up from south Of tho
Marne.
A push from below would merely
give them an exit without crippling
their supply line.
In his weekly talk with members OF
the senate military committee today,
General March cautioned against over
optimism as a result Of the spectacular

that many difficulties are still ahead
and too much must not be expected.
