{ Finally Wounded.

London, July 22.-How an American
battery on the bank of the Marne
shelied the Germans for seventy-two
hours while under fire from enemy
runs is recorded by Reuters corrc-
spondent at French headquarters. A
young lieutenant, after telephone wires
had been severed, maintained COM
munication between the battery and
the infantry. He had eight horses
shot under him in making sixteen
trips and on the last journey was
wounded in the knees. The correspo l.
dent says
81 spent yesterday Saturday on the
hank of the Marne with the American
troops. They we're the officers ana
men of a battery of American tbs
which had been in position on bare ex-
posed plateau above the river, about
thousand yards from the boche bridges
during the entire week. They were
aroused by terrific artillery prepara-
tion on the part of the enemy on the
night of July 10. The American pat
terry was in the open and OF the thirty
enemy batteries which had been iden-
titled in the sector, five were concen-
trated on the American battery. The
men had to turn out and open on the
enemy without a moments delay. They
continued to fire as hard as they could
for 70 hours.
"The Americans were under heavy
shell fire themselves during the whole
time, but they never relaxed their ef-
forts for moment. The whole plateau
is plowed up by German shells. The
Americans, who had never been in
serious action before, lost both men
and horses, but the battery was never
silenced.
I'm the first hour of the lombard
ment every telephone wire in the sec
tor was cut by German shells and the
battery was left without means OF
communication with the American in
fantry in the river valley below, whom
1t had to support.
"A young lieutenant volunteered to
restore the Liason himself Taking a
horse he rode down to the river through
the German barrage and back. and
during the night galloped sixteen times
between the battery and the river, al
ways under terrible heavy fife. He
had eight horses hit under him and on
tho last journey he himself was hit IN
the knees.
"a battery commander told me that
he had the greatest difficulty with his
slightly wounded men. None Of them
wanted to leave the battlefield and the
men ordered to 70 away for treatment
would hide themselves In order to
avoid notice. hoping In this way to be
able to remain with their comrades.
One gun, the crew of which had been
knocked out by single big shell. was
kept working by the telephone men,
who. realizing what had happened
dashed out of their shelter and began
to man the gun themselves without
orders"

After clearing the southern bank o
the Marne and capturing Chateau
Thierry In storm assault. the Frenc.
and American forces swept on to Bczu
st. German, an advance of over foul
miles.
The allied advance has continued al
along the zone of their great counter
offensive---from the Aisne to the Marine
river.
The German pivotal position at Oul-
chy- Le- Chateau (on the center) Is
fianked on three sides and Its fall Is
imminent.
South of Scissors (the keystone po-
sition of the German line on the north
ern end of the Asne- -Marne front) the
Germans have been making desperate
resistance, throwing fresh troops into
the struggle in an effort to stem the
allied advance.
American and French artillery is
keeping the Fismes and Fere- en- Tar
denois railways-the main German
lines OF communication south of the
Aisne--under direct fire.
Allied airmen report that the dis
order attending the German retirement
north of the Aisne becomes more acute
as the Franco-American advance con-
tinues.
British troops have been thrown into
the fighting on the eastern flank OF
the Aisne Marine salient. reinforcing
the French and italian forces between
Rheims and the Marine river. They
began attacking as soon as they
reached the firing line. gaining ground
in the sectors of Bouilly and st. Eur
phraiz.
(Both of these villages were recap
tured from the Germans.)
Violent rear guard actions have de-
veloped over the sixty-mile front be-
tween the Aisne. the Marne and
Rheims, with the allied forces continu-
ing their pressure everywhere.
Since the allied counter offensive
began last Thursday morning Gen.
Foch's forces have taken more than
10000 German prisoners and have
gained from six to more than ten miles
of ground.
The booty and prisoners increase as
tho entente forces roll forward.
The weather hns been very hot. but

Chateau Thierty Front. 81

Paris, July 22.-In reviewing Tho
military situation as 1t stood last might
on the active front between Scissors

says:
Gen. Foch's victory increased great

while from the west Franco American
troops commanded by Gen. Degouette
were crowding in on the Germans. Be-
tween the Ourcq and the Marne the
enemy was attacked by detachments
under Gen. Mitry, which had crossed
the Marne. The general result was
that the Germans were thrown back
from eight to ten kilometers on the
Chateau Thierry front.
"The enemy Is offering desperate re-
sistance farther north, endcavOring to
maintain his hold on Soissons and
Oulchy- Le- Chateau, which form the
two pivots of his defensive system.
but his tenure Of those points must
be very difficult. Between the Marine
and Rheims the fighting was charac-
terized by brilliant actions at the foot
of the mountain of Rheims. French,
British and Italian troops We'd with
each other in bravery and pressed the
enemy without respite. Although the
Germans have been considerably re-
inforced. the allies made further i'm
portant progress.
Thus, while the enemy has given
way in the center, 1t Is seen that he
is making desperate efforts to hold on
the two tanks of the fronts from Sois-
sons to the Ourcq and from the Marno

Counter Attacks Made in Eff

From Predicament.

London, July 22. - American
troops yesterday crossed the
river Marne between Chartroves
and Gland east of Chateau-
Thierry and captured the wood
of Barbillon, according to au
authoritative announcement made
here today.
The Germans are stubbornly
resisting the French crossing of
the Marne, but the French have
succeeded in getting two elements
over at Mezy and Courcclles,
which are constructing foot
bridges under heavy fire. The
Germans are using gas shells in
large numbers.
Owing to faulty working of the
telegraph line between Paris and
London news of the French ad-
vance up to $3.50. o'clock last
night is not very detailed. 1t is
! learned, however, that the French
line now runs from Breny, along
the main Chateau-Thierry road,
to Rocourt. and then through Lee
charme and Epicds to the Marine
at Chartevcs. s
The capture of Barbillon wood
by the Americans means that the
overseas men have advanced be-

their old position on the Marnc.
Between the Ourcq and the
Aisne the. Germans again are
making violent counter-attacks,
but the FRENCH are maintaining
their lines.
The object of the enemy coun-
ter-attack is to expedite the cx-

pocket between SoissonS and
Rheims. Meanwhile German
troops on the southern end of the
pocket must be experiencing
great. difficulty in getting sup
plies.
Southwest of Rheims there has
tcen fghtin and the French
have made progress.
Between the Ourcq and the
Marine rivers the Frenc,. yestcr-
day took 400 prisoners.
On every front the Germans
are resisting desperately and are
making violent counter-attacks.

yesterday made progress along
