London Considers Great Allied Coun-
ter Attack Serious Blow
to Enemy.

London. July 19.-The great counter
attack in which the French and Amer
ican troops are participating between
the Aisne and the Marne has succeed
ed we'll, according to the latest advices
received here, and the situation for
many reasons is considered promis-
ing. ..
/. Giving to the fact that there was no
artillery preparations. the action was
a complete surprise for the Boche, and
the enemy artillery reaction was very
weak. On the other hand, the French
counter battery work was unusually ef-
fective. Enemy aviators entered into
the action and attempted to impede
the advance, using their machine guns
at a low altitude.
French troops have gained the ra.
vine at the River Crise running into
scissors on the five-mile front down to
the east of Buzancy, which means
maximum advance at this point of five
miles, according to news received in
London.
The Americans operating in the re.
gion west of scissors, the dispatches
add, have taken 1000 prisoners, 80
guns and much other material which
has not yet been estimated.
The French reached point menac.
ing the most important German rail-
way centers, which feed the entire
front west of Rheims The French ar.
tillery was within easy shelling dis
tance Of these railways at that time
and should be able to make life miser-
able for large section of the German

GERMAN SALIENT
IN GRAVE DANGER
SUDDEN ALLIED OFFENSIVE MAY,
CATCH TEUToN LEGIoNs
IN A TRAP.
WASHINGTON IS DELIGHTED
General Foch Now Has Sufficient Men
to Enable Him to Assume an
Aggressive Defense. Against
Teuton Hordes.

Washington, July 19.-The heart of
the American nation is in France. It
marched and fought proudly with the
boys who vent over the top and still
are gallantly smashing their way
ahead beside their French comrades
1t was a tale of splendid victory and
daring that cannot be estimated until
details OF the action along the whole
25. mile front from Chateau Thierry
to scissors, from which the surprise
attack was launched. are available.
Germans In Difficult Position.
1t was clear beyond mistake, how.
ever. that in the rush of the first day
of this answer of General Foch to the
German attack east and west of
Rheims. the enemy had been placed in
position from which he may have
great difficulty in extricating himself.
Not only may the German effort west
Of Rheims and south of the Marne be
wholly nullified, but all they have ac.
complished since the battle of the
Aisne began months ago may be over
turned.
There was little effort here to meas.
ure the scope of the eFranco-American
stroke. Officers were toe vitality inter.
ested in the swift development of the
attack as it was unfolded, to devote
much time to cold calculations such
as form the basis for military predic.
tions.
1t was the instant news that held
them, from General March to the jun.
Tor staff officers. The War department
was place of smiles and hand grips
as the boys overseas wrote new and
glorious pages in American history.
Mr.. Bakers statement paid instant
homage to the dash and gallantry Of
the American forces and his elation
as we'll as that of the officers who sur.
rounded him, was clearly written be.
tween the lines. The statement, which
summarized General Pershing's re-
ports, follows: u
Yankees With French and In Divisions.
"The War department has received
from General Pershing official confir-
nation Of the opening of the counter
offensive along the line indicated in
the newspaper dispatches. American
troops are participating both as com.
plete divisions and as units in associa-
tion with the French. .g.
THE first detectives seem every.
where to have been attained. No &C.
curate count has been made. but it is
clear that many prisoners have been
taken and many guns and much war
material captured. s.
"Our official reports also confirm the
fact that American soldiers advanced
with great dash and gallantry and
were still advancing when last heard
from"
The most promising consideration of
the counter attack, officers believe,
aside from renewed proof of the fight
ing qualities of the new American
armies, is the fact that General Foch
now has sufficient forces to unloose a
major counter stroke, for the blow to.
day is nothing less than that. The
supreme commander now has shown
clearly that definite turning point
has been reached where his resources
in men and munitions are great enough
for him to assume at least an aggres-
sive defense.

FRENCH CAVALRY
PURSUING ENEMY
AMERICAN INFANTRY CLEARS
WAY FOR HoRsEMEN TO GET
INTO ACTION. -
GERMANS LEAVE AIRPLANEs
Just South of Scissors Yankees Cap
ture $500 Prisoners, Fifty Cannon,
Thousands of Machine Guns and
Other. War Material.

With the American Army in France,
July 19.-The American troops carried
all before them and proceeded so fast
that cavalry was thrown into action.
All the American headquarters stats
are well inside the territory which the
Germans held this morning. The
American troops just south of scissors
captured $500 prisoners. Fifty can
non had been counted and thousands
of machine guns.
Northwest of Chateau Thierry the
Americans captured large numbers Of
I prisoners and an equally important
quantity of munitions and stores.
Germans Leave AirpIanes.
The captures south of scissors in
the way of stores were immense and
included some sirplanes which the
enemy was unable to remove, so
swiftly did the st6rming troops sweep
through.
Many prisoners and many guns still
remain to be counted.
The Allies have reached, roughly the
line Of Belleau, Courchamps, Chouy,
Viller-Helon, Chaudun and the heights
dominating scissors.
French cavalry has crossed beyond
the Soissons- s-Chateau-Thierry road to
openings made by the Franco-Ameri-
can forces.
The greatest progress made up to
latest reports was about ten kilometers
or little over six miles.
After passing the third objectives
set, the Americans in cooperation with
the French south of Scissors launched
a second powerful attack.
Tanks Play Important Part.
Showing the effect of splendid train
ing the American troops went forward
swiftly and fought with fury. Moth
ing seemed to stop them, especially in
the region of SCISSORS.
Light and heavy pieces were moved
up as the troops advanced, and soon
after each barrage ended, shells from
the American guns were deluging the
enemy's rear areas, playing havoc
with his forces, whether those in re-
treat or reserves endeavoring to come
zap.
1t was open warfare, with all the
attending excitement and through the
gaps made by heavy guns and in
fantry, the French cavalry dashed,
beating down those. in their patch.
Terrific losses were inflicted at all
points on the enemy. The tanks did
all that was expected of them. The
great numbering engines rolled along
in front of the infantry, driving the
Germans before them with streams of
bullets and clearing away many OBJ
structions that had escaped the ar.
tillery.
The enemy early began to bring up
strong reinforcements. Fresh troops
have appeared at various points and
a heavy counter attack will probably
have to be withstood. ~
On the line south Of scissors the
American troops carried all their OBJ.
jectives in the second attack with the
same dash as the first, even proceed.
ing further than had been expected.
The enemy was routed and for the
most part fled before the American
advance, abandoning even light guns
and ammunition Only here and there
along the line was strong resistance Of
fered and at these points the Germans
were attacked with rifle and bayonet,
before which they retreated steadily.

Champagne, July 19.-The Americans
are advancing with the French on the
40 kilometer front (25 miles) between
Scissors and Chateau Thierry.
The Americans had captured more
than dozen towns and villages, taken
numerous prisoners and advanced
more than three kilometers (nearly
two miles).
Up to the hour of cabling the Ameri.
cans had captured the following towns
west of Chateau Thierry: Villers
Helon, Dammard, Courchamps, Licy
Clignon, Monthiers, Torcy, Belleau,
Givray, st. Gengolph, Hautevesnes,
and other small villages, farms,
heights and woods, including Givery
wood.
The drive reached a depth of three
kilometers within three hours after it
began.
Many towns within that depth north
ward clear to Fontenoy. were taken by
the Americans and the French.
Tells Story In American.
The American commander at Civ.
ray. reporting the capture of the town
to headquarters, sent the following
message:
MET boche on his line Of resistance.
Sharp fight. Boche turned tail and
ran like hell, pursued by our troops.
Hope have more prisoners"
At headquarters messages were
coming in from everywhere asking
permission to push on farther.
Hard to Hold Troops.
1t was essential that the line should
be kept straight and in some instances
it was necessary to order the troops
to hold back until adjoining units
came up.
1t is the greatest pursuit of boches
the Americans have yet engaged in
Enormous numbers of prisoners have
been taken. 1t is impossible to esti.
mate how many.
American airplanes, flying over the
lines, fought the boches above while
the doughboys and machine gunners
fought them below Aerial observers
dashed through the clouds and others
carried back messages.
The surprise not only was complete,
but the concentration for the attack
was unusually rapid. Field guns were
loaded on trucks and these dashed up
to the lines. The horses were carried
up the same way
