tBy The Associated Press,

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, June 8.--American
troops last night attacked the Ger
mans to the east of Torcy, in the
district northwest of Chateau Thier-
ry. The French continued their ad-
vance on the American left. At last
reports the operation was progress
ing satisfactorily.
The American artillery was active
all night in the Belleau Wood sector.
The fire increased in intensity at 4
o'clock this morning, when the
Americans attacked in the southern
part of the wood, taking prisoners
and number Of machine guns.
The battle was still raging here
this afternoon.
German Attack Breaks Down
German prisoners report that new
German troops are moving up along
the American sector on this front.
The enemy artillery fire is increas-
ing, indicating that the Germans
are bringing rp additional big guns.
The Americans moved down the
enemy with machine gun and rife
fire last midnight, when the Germans
made an attack on their position.
They fought like demons. At one
point they killed 100 Germans.
The Germans launched their
thrust against the Americans in the
vicinity Of Bouresches. They were
completely stopped, however, about
400 yards from the American
trenches.
Before they made their attack the
Germans sent over a smoke cloud,
supposedly Of black gas. new form.
During the fight the Americans wore
gas masks.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
BETWEEN RHEIMS AND SOIS-
SONS, June 1.-THE heaviest fight
ing Of the last twenty-four hours
continued desperately late Friday,
with the French and Americans
about equally dividing the four mile
battle line west of Chateau Thierry.
The Allied forces, in perfect liaison,
were slowly pressing the enemy dur
ing the evening, though with battle
at night the line was still subject to
fuctuation.
The French troops have taken
three strongly held villages and sew
eral heights, and are now maintain
ing themselves on the heights south
east Of Hautevesnes. The enemy is
contesting every foot, giving up val
liable positions only at the cost of
heavy casualties.
Locked With Foe
Although the Americans have not
progressed as far as their comrades
in arms on the left, they have been
locked in a death grip with the
enemy since yesterday, attacking and
counter attacking like veterans.
Belleau Wood is a great nest of
German machine guns. which the
enemy is using in great profusion in
an effort to hold new territory. Some
idea of the task confronting the
Americans in Belleau Wood is given
by the exploit of young lieutenant
who advanced alone with an auto
matte rifle against an enemy machine
gun nest. He killed the entire crew
and brought the gun back to the
American line.
