COUNTER ATTACKS
BY THE FRENCH
NEW FORCES THROWN INTO THE
BATTLE BY THE GERMANS.

London, July 17.-French counter
attacks have brought the German
bridges over the Marine under the fire
of the French artillery of medium
caliber.
Gen. Won Einem's army which was
engaged on the German left wing in
the Champagne yesterday, delivered
five attacks between Suippe and Mas
siges. All were ~repulsed with heavy
losses.
The position for the Allies at the
present stage of the German often
sive in France is said to be distinctly
satisfactory in advices received to-
day. The French losses are stated to
have been very small. They have
lost no guns, the report declares.
Paris, July 1.-THE Germans last
night threw new forces into the bat
tie on the front south of the Marine
and attacked the Allied lines north of
st. Agnan, the war office announced
today. The enemy succeeded in pen
Grating into Bourdomerie. The bat
tie is continuing in the woods imme-
diately to the south of this point.
On the front farther to the east.
the French held the enemy in the
southern outskirts of the Bouquieny
wood and at the village of Nesles.
a powerful attack likewise was
made by the Germans in the direction
Of Monvoisin, but were driven from
this locality by a French counter at
tack.
On the front between the Marine
ami Rheims. the fighting developed
violently in the Courton wood. The
Germans attacked in the Vrigny re-
gicn on this front, but their assault
her" broke down completely.
Along the line east of Rheims, the
Germans delivered local attacks,
notably in the Prunay region. These
efforts of the enemy were fruitless.
In renewed assaults upon Beau
mont, the enemy suffered a sanguin-
airy repulse.
The French positions throughout
the region EAST of Rheims were main
tanned intact.

MAY STOP At
THE RHINE
The German Retreat Pressed
So Closely Getting Out
of Hand
GREAT WASTE OF MEN

Washington, Sept. 4.-Reports
from the British front yesterday in
dicated to officers here that the Ger
man retirement heretofore conduct
ed with utmost military skill, was
getting out of hand. Under the ter
rife pressure of the British and
French armies all along the line
Ypres to Scissors the enemy appar-
emily is being forced to a more pre-
cipitate withdrawal particularly on
the old -Queant front,
where Marshal Haig's men hammer
ed forward irresistably again yester-
day. ,.s
So evident is the growing disor-
ganization among the Germans
shown in reports from the British
front that some officers are inclined
to think it possible that the enemy
be forced to withdrawal to the
Rhine this year. Others, however,
feel that the skill the German lead
ers have displayed does not warrant
any anticipation of an early collapse
of the military machine.
In connection with the evidence of
weakness noted in the German war
machine in the last few days, an Of
fetal dispatch yesterday from
France quoting captured German
DOCUMENTS showing the great vast
age of men in the enemy's ranks
was received with peculiar interest.
According to these papers a typical
German infantry battalion in March
1918, when the German drive was
launched, consisted of $50 men. On
July l this had been reduced to $50
and a telegram from German head
quarters dated July 80, requests
opinion from line officers as to a
further reduction.

TRAVIS SIGNED
GREEN TELEGRAM
And is Charged With Giving
False Advice for Purpose
of Securing
40 MILLION CONTRACT

Washington, Sept. A grand
jury of the District Of Columbia yes
terday returned true bill of indict-
ment against Edward l.. Travis, for
mer chairman of the North Carolina
Corporation Commission and a
prominent lawyer of Halifax, N. G..
The Indictment specifies an alleged
overt act against Mr. Travis mas
much as he signed telegram in
which he falsely advised Leon
Myer Green that the president of the
Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company
could properly and lawfully make
affidavit that Green was purchasing
agent of the company.
Sellim Barnett Joseph, of Chicago
and Leon Myer Green, of Sumpter,
S. C. and New York City, are named
co-defendants in the indictment re-
turned by the grand jury The trio
are charged with conspiring tovio-
late the selective draft act by secur-
ing for Green a deferred military
classification under the pretext that
he was an industrial worker in ca
pacity essential to the maintenance
of the military establishment.
The grand jury made no report
on the feature of thecelebrated case
which suggested profiteering on the
government in obtaining a shipping
contract The United States attor-
ney has declined to indicate whether
subsequent proceedings are contem-
plated, but the grand jurors may
consider this angle of the case dur
ing September. The government
will contend that Green's employ
ment was conditional on the secur-
ing of the forty million dollar CON
tract and that he vas entitled to de-
ferred military classification.
The trio were arrested on August
1, and were released from the Gus
tody of the Department of Justice
upon furnishing bail of $4,000 each.
United States Commissioner Mason
NJ Richardson granted a postpone.
ment of the preliminary hearing un-
til August 2S, and still postpone
ment was automatically noted when
Commissioner Richardson failed to
return to Washington from his va
cation on August 2S.
The trial will probably occur in
October.

BE CAREFUL WITH ADDRESSES

The government makes the an
nouncement that it is making every
effort to get the mail of the soldiers
to them promptly, but the difficult
ties in the way may be imagined
when it is considered that all the
system of mails must be worked out
with the soldiers being shifted
around on the various fronts.
The department, however, states
that deficient addresses are partly
responsible for delay and calls upon
all to direct carefully every letter
and paper intended for the soldiers.
Under ordinary circumstances the
department announces it requires
three weeks to get letter or paper
to soldier in France.
