were handling the enemy WELL" in the.
desperate fighting which is continuing.
AT this hour it had not been deter
mined how the battle in the vicinity
OF Naux was progressing. The whole
line In both directions from that town
was dense with smoke and gas fumes,
The roar of the cannonade was pune
tuated in the few intermissions with a

fire. which seemed of the hottest char
acter in Naux itself.
In this locality it was not known,
Whether the Germans had begun moth
er offensive, but the intensity Of the
lighting indicated that the operation.
was a renewal of the general attack.
The attack and bombardment extends
over a front OF nearly 10 miles, forming
the apex of the huge German salient
nearest Paris.
The cable was filed before the attack
had developed sufficiently to permit
any intimation Of the degree of the
effort. but apparently is the biggest
assault attempted by the enemy since
the fighting which occurred soon after
the Americans entered the line there.
Vaux, which is one of the key posi-
tons Of Chateau-Thierry, was cap
tured by the Americans i'll a recent
Ffanco-American advance. Jaulgonne@
is the place where the Germans crossedS
the Marne for the first time since the
initial stages Of the war, and werep
hurled back by the Americans.
