With French, Retake
3 Touns and Hill

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
ON THE MARINE, July 10
French and American forces fight
ing together have recaptured the
village of ST. Agnan, Hill 223 to the
northwest, La Chapelle and Montho
don. These places are about three
miles south of the Marne, just east
of the scene of yesterdays American
counter attack.
In cooperation with the French.

u. S. Line Forced
Back at Mareuil
Pershing Forces Give
Way Under Heavy
Odds; Foe Claims
$4,000 Prisoners

The Americans and French yester-
day broke the renewed force of
the German drive on both sides of
Rheims, held their lines firm at
nearly all points and inflicted tre-
mendous losses on the repeatedly
attacking German lines.
South of the Marne the Germans
stormed forward about two miles
+ in their first rush, only to be
thrown back part way by Franco
American forces, which captured
three towns and important
heights. In all the Allies have
taken 5000 prisoners, of which g.
900 fell to the Americans.
Along the east wing of the Cham
pagne salient and along the twen-
ty-five-mile line east Of Rheims
the Germans again launched for
ward after their first rebuff, but
were once more hurled back by the
Allied forces.
American troops have been thrown
into the battle in five sectors on
the fighting line. West of Chateau
Thierry and at the Marine bend
their counter attacks in coopera-
ton with the French have re-
gained considerable ground. At
Mareuil-le-Port, on the Marne,
east of Dormans, there was ex-
tremely heavy fighting in the af-
ternoon, in which the Americans
were forced to fall back before
overwhelming odds. Other Ameri-
cans are fighting on both sides of
Rheims.
Thirteen thousand prisoners in the
first day of the drive are claimed
by the German War Office.
Losing more men under the mur-
derous fire Of the Allied guns
along the Marne than he had ex-
pected, Ludendorff was forced to
throw fresh reserves into his
broken lines for the second days
effort. Putting chief weight on
his first successes on the Marne,
he drove forward south and east.
Little by little the outnumbered
Allied armies fell back, inflicting
enormous losses on the advancing
foe.
Along the eastern half of the al
most semi-circular salient the
Germans have made south of the
Marne, extremely heavy fighting
was progressing at latest reports.
Beset by repeated Franco-Ameri-
can assaults, the Germans were
unable to reach the objectives
they had set
Secretary of War Baker said last
night the Americans in the fight
ing were units of General Hunter
Liggett's First Army Corps.
