With the American Army in France,
July l6 tby the Associated Press) -
German tanks which delivered an at
tack north of Souain this morning
suffered heavily from the allied ar
tillery. Many were destroyed.
In a section of Champagne lying
east of Rheims the enemy attack was
broken in its first stage. The point
where the farthest advance was
made was Prunay where small
pocket 1000 yards in depth was
punched out by the enemy.
Facing this point Is a hilly region,
including Moronvilers, Cormillet and
other well known heights On these
were advanced positions of the
French army, lightly held. The en-
emy preparations had been observed,
and minute precautions were taken
by the allies to hold their main pos
ition. When the attack began, the
French fell bsi; on these, and the
Germans were unable even with their
best divisions. to make any impression
on the defenders, except about Prun-
ay.
This small result, considering the
nature of the attack is regarded very
faVorably by the allied staffs, while
the French army holding this portion
of the battle front displays the fullest
confidence that any furher attempt
by the Germans here will meet n sim
iliar fate Aviators flying over the
German lines declare that the Ger
man losses in this sector are tremen-
dous.
Elite German armies are engaged
along the sixty miles of fighting front
including three divisions of the i'm
perial corps guards with picked reg
iments from Bavaria, Wurttemburg,
Saxony and Silesian Prussia.
