London, July 17-Following an in
active period of about 30 days, since
they were checked in their drive to-
ward Campiegne, along the west bank
of the Disc, the Germans have opened
new phase of their terrific offensive
by striking from Chateau Thierry to
Maison de Champagne, north of Mas
siges and far east of Rheims, over
front about IS miles long.
Latest reports from the battlefield
state that the Germans have crossed
the Marine at several places. This
probably refers to the reaches of the
Marine between Chateau Thierry and
Dormans.
American troops are engaged in the
battle in this particular region and
reports say they are Handling the
enemy WELL" They broke up the Ger
man drive in the Vaux region, west
of Chateau Thierry, by dashing coun-
terattachs.
Reports show that, so far as the
length of the line is concerned, the
present drive is the greatest of the
year. At first, it was believed from
the French war Office statement that
the line was about SO miles in extent,
but apparently the report from Paris
told simply Of the length of the French
portion of lines under attack. The at
tack against the Cambria front March
81 was over front of IS miles,
Terrific Gunfire Loosed.
A terrible artillery fire was loosed
against the Allied lines from Chateau
Thierry on the west to Maison de
east
For hours the Allied lines were un-
der tempest of the most tremendous
character. Not only was the actual
battle area under bombardment, but
towns and cities far behind the lines
were made targets for great 10 and IL
inch projectiles fired from what ap-
pears to be naval siege guns brought
up behind the German positions.
New Territory Chosen.
except for surprise attack around
Rheims, late in June, has been quiet
since the offensive launched on the
Aisne on May 27 came to a standstill
East of Rheims and north of Chalons
there has been but little fighting OF
significance for long time
The Germans hold the north bank
of the Marine for distance of about
20 miles east of Chateau Thierry
Their line leaves the Marine near the
village of Dormans and runs off to the
northeast of Rheims, where it turns
abruptly to the southeast and runs
down the valley of the Vesle river tt
the village Of La Pompelle, where il
runs eastward and runs in relative
ly straight line to Verdun. Maison de
Champagne, the eastern limit of thu
present battle, is 81 miles west O.
Verdun.

!, LOCAL COMMENT

The county board is rushing into the
construction Of a detention hospital in
| connection with the Jail before it has
had experience with the new law as to
segregation, of all persons afflicted
with venereal disease. 1t would seem
that there must be two separate places
maintained and the renting Of houses
for hospitals to be conducted by care
takers who could be made deputy
sheritfs would at least try out the new
plan without expense of new construc-
ton. This law is a war measure. 1t
may not outlive the war.
Commendatory letters from national
headquarters as to the high class work
and perfect organization of the Red
Cross in Marshall county. the presenta-
ton of honor flags to every township
this evening for oversuhscriptions to

that the full quota of men had been
enlisted without any draft in the next
call all reflect the efficiency of Mar
shall county's organization CT its war
work. We are 100 per cent on every
thing in this county and we are going
to stay that way.
Organized labor has requested the
name of any merchant who Stacks on
his duty toward any war activity. but
so far none have given occasion for
any yellow card reports. About the
only people who give trouble are the
close and misery sort who live smore

however. for they have not yet learned
how to mobilize ten years taxes into
one big drive for graveled and paved

While the report has been made that
Marshall county will meet its quota in
the purchase of war savings stamps it
does not mean that the job is done.
All that has ben reported is that Mar
