Twelve hundred German storm

centrated against the American troops
for an offensive operation, were hurled
against the American positions on a
one-mUe front west Of Renneres for

bombardment Of gas and high explo-

The enemy succeeded in penetrating
the front line trenches and taking the
village of Seicheprey, but after furi-
GUS hand-to-hand fighting the Ameri.
can troops recaptured the village.
German a~irplanes, flying at a low al
titude, attempted to d~isorganize the
American fighting men, but two enc.

the others driven off.
The attacking troops carried rations
and ~entrenchins tools, indicating that
they intended to occupy the American
positions for a long period. A heavy
haze overhung the section when the
attack began, but later there was
brilliant sunshine. The American ar
tillerymen did valiant work, the men
on many of the batteries wearing gas
masks.
The enemy's casualties are believed
to have been the heaviest sustained
by them thus far in any operation
against American troops. Numbers of
German dead are lying in No Mans
Land in front Of the American
trenches.
The German airmen poured machine
gun fire into the American troops, but
the anti-aircraft batteries came into
play and American airmen took the
air, bringing down two of the enemy
planes and dispensing the others. All
the American airmen returned safely,
The ambulances tore over the she'll

Washington.-All governors were

which 1t is hoped to boost sales OF
Liberty bonds well along toward the
three-billion-dollar minimum. The Goth

Just as the nations offerings of Lib

So far, some 1870 German divisions
Q,660,000 mem have been showed into
the terrific battles OF the Somme and
Lys. Yet both colossal drives have
come to a dead stop. 1t is certain
that Hindenburg will start a drive
again, perhaps at any moment. But
neither Foch nor Haig will be caught

Some Americans are now engaged.
How many. and In what capacity, may
not be stated. The Germans are still
in high feather. A captured officer,
who declared he hoped the war would
be over within a month, said he had
heard that peace negotiations even
now are being secretly conducted In
Switzerland.
The bulk Of the German army is
fighting well. It would be an insult
to those resisting them to claim the
contrary. A typical attitude Of Brit

chance-let them come at us about

The recent Belgian victory northeast
OF Ypres was turning the tables on
Hindenburg-on a smaller scaie-of
the Mazurian Lakes campaign. The
enemy advanced across the marshes
and the Belgians eountered heavily,
throwing them back into the swamps.
The defenders are eminently salts

have they held their lines steadily in
the face of furious attacks, but they
inflicted most serious losses on the en-

mentally to pull back from the Pas
schendale ridge system. over which
the British standard was carried in
such invincible fashion last summer.
But the wisdom OF the move needs no

CITY MORE THAN WEEK.
CITY OF HISTORIC BEAUTY

Paris.-Rheims is completely in
ruins as a result Of the German bonn
bardment. During the last week 1907
600 enemy shells, including incendiary
projectiles, have fallen within the city.
One day alone $4,000 shells we're
thrown.
The city Is now a wilderness of
scorched and blackened stones, with
a few ghostly remains OF houses rising
from the sitting fumes. Streets have
vanished under the shattered walls.
The Place Royale Theater and the
law courts, like the ancient hotels,
historic salons and the Maison de Mu.
siciens, are among the embers. Arched
roofs of the famous cathedral are
splitting and crumbling. Soon only
the pillars will remain.
One of the most historic and pictu-
rescue cities In Europe has thus been
effaced by German frightfulness.
Rheims had q population of more than
100,0 900 before the war. II was once a
stronghold OF the Romans and pre-
served much of the Roman architec'
ture. including a beautiful triumphal
arch. On the site of the former Raman
Notifications fine b~oulevards were
built. The Rheims cathedral was n
of the largest and most wonderful
specimens of Gothic architecture in
the world.
1t was built in the Thirteenth cen.
fury. II had a facade containing the
famous rose window" and 500 statues.
Its portals were richly adorned with
sculptures. In this cathedral the
French kings were crowned.
Next in importance to the cathedral
was the large Eleventh century abbey
church, st. Remy. Other structures
we're the Arch piscopale palace, dat.
ing from the Fifteenth century, in
which there was located a museum Of
sculpture, and the Hotel de VILE.
