ADVANCE OF ALLIES CUTS
 FOE RAIL LINES
Paris Press Lays Stress on Fact Communication Is
 Interrupted.

Paris, July 19.---The reviews of the fighting in the Allied counter offen- sive, printed by the Paris papers to- day, lay stress on the interference with the enemy's railroad communi- cations cccasioned by the speedy AL lied advance.
 "Our progress southeast of Sois- sons,' says the Echo de Paris, "pre- vented the enemy from bringing into action his reserves over the railroads in the vicinity of Laon, near Chateau Thierry, around Rheims and along the Aisne. He had expected to obtain great results from the use of these reserves"
 In it's description of yesterdays ac- tion between the Tisne and the Marne the Petit Journal says:
 An advance was realized on the entire 45 kilometre front of the at- tack, of between five and 10 kilome- tres. Between the Aisne and the Ourcq the advance of three kilometres by Gen. Mangin's army, reported in yesterdays official statement, was completed within one hour. South of the Ourcq the attack was launched at $50 o'clock by the troops of Gems. Degoutte and Stree (Stirn?) After desperate fighting, in which the Americans on our right acquitted themselves gloriously, our front was advanced between three and four kill ometres"

It was said that the drive now go- ing on will not replace nor hinder the preparations for the great Allied of fensive planned for later in the year.
 Details of the fighting are lacking because official dispatches from Gen. Pershing have been greatly delayed Gen. March and Assistant Secretary Crowell who participated in the con- ference, expressed their gratiica ton over the part American troops are playing.
 The nation today came to a reallza- tion that it's army in cooperation with the gallant soldiers of France had won it's first great victory on European soil The American people saw clearly that American soldiers. many of whom were in civilian life a year ago, had received their first bap- tism of fire and in six hours had won more ground, taken more prisoners and captured more war supplies from the enemy than did the Germans in three days of a carefully prepared offensive along the Marne earlier in the week.
 The belief was expressed widely in official circles that the tables had been definitely turned.

The admiral. he adds, also announc- ed that the forces would advance southward 'in accord with the local sobiet authorities and at the request of the local population for help.''
 Behrmann says there are no soviet authorities in the whole Murman ter ritory.
 The newspaper prints an Archangel message to the Izvestia of Moscow which mentions the arrival there of Italian and Serbian officers and men who it declares, were disarmed and expelled by the local soviets.
 A zoologist named Schmidt, who has just returned to Petrograd from a trip to North Russia, reports, accord ing to the Norddeutsche Alge1aine Zeitung, that the British are busy making Rem strongly fortified place and that the garrison is well supplied with food from England.

So competely were the Germans surprised that the Franco-Americans
 advanced in places two miles in .he first hour. They continued their pro-
 gress in the afternoon in the teeth
 of growing resistance. ~ The average depth of the gains for the whole day
 was between three and four miles. At
 some points the Allies advanced five
 miles, according to latest advices from the front.
 The Allied gains southwest of Sois- sons will prevent the enemy from us- ing the railroads to Laon, Chateau Thierry and Rheims and along the
 Aisne, which. are of vital importanca i to him. Soissons is the keystone Of the German system and it is expected that the enemy will throw in the heaviest forces in an attempt to fend off the present danger.
