With the American Force on the
Marine, July S.--An entire German
regiment has been virtually annihilat-
ed in the fighting wcst OF Hill 2O4, &c
cording 10 official information. The
attack by the Americans on tho Vaux
positions was so terrific that they
swept right through the enemy lines,
and had their object been to continue
the advance they could have done so
with the greatest ease. as virtually
everything before them had been
cleared So great was the enthusiasm
OF the men, the officers in some cases
had to look sharp to keep them from
going beyond the. set objectiyes.
IL is not improbable that the Ger
mans are planning another counter at
tack for the coming dark horrs. but
preparations have been made to meet
thou.
vast quantity of material, consid-
ering the size of the operations, is
being taken to to rear. but probably
will not be tabulated for several days.
In the fighting west of Vaux the
Americans. aided by the French,
stormed several enemy nests and.
killed or captured the occupants;
then turned the guns the other way,
using them effectively against the
enemy rear areas.
The Americans penetrated the enc
my's lines to depth OF about n kilo-
meter and a half on n front OF four
ktiometers.
Late reports from the advanced
front brought back through heavy
enemy barrage confirmed the earlier
statements that the Americans have
reached their objective and are hold
ing every point
The German counter attack. which
was fierceiy conducted, resulted in the
Americans further increasing their
number OF prisoners. Virtually the re-
mainder OF the enemy attacking force
was amihiiated.
An American air squadron. composed
OF nine machines. had a thrilling half
hour fight north of Chateau Thierry
with a German flight squadron

the German planes were driven down.
piunging to the earth. and up to 6
O'Clock last night two of the Americans
had not returned.
On the British front In the Picardy
area Field Marshal Haig's troops have
been forced hard to hold their new line
northeast of Amiens, where on Sunday
night they forced the Germans out OF
valuable position on the high ground
near Bouzincourt. north OF Albert.
On the other parts of the front there
we're raiding operations In which pris-
Oners were taken both by the British
and the French. The Germans were re-
pulsed In several raiding attempts.

ably his position between Asiago and

day and Sunday in which Monte di Val
