Counter Attacking Vigorously


 Northeast of Soissons the Germans are counter attacking vigorously against the allied forces holding strategic positions which are threat ening the high ground along the Chemin des Danes. which the enemy hopes to save as a temporary haven of refuge in the event of forced re- tirement from the west and the south Notwithstanding the strength of the onslaughts, the French everywhere repulsed the enemy.
 Likewise south of the Aisne, in the region of Courlandon. the Germans en- deavored to beat back the French, but again met with defeat, the French artillery cutting the attacking waves to pieces.
 Enemy Raid Proves Futile.
 On the Lorraine front there has been considerable mutual artillery smelling, attempted by the Germans against General Pershings men northwest of Pont- a. Mousson came to naught. | In oie Macedonian theater the Bull garians are still in full flight before the Serbians, who have captured nu- merous towns, taken large numbers of S stores. Following the usual tactics o1 the Teutonic allies the enemy is dev- astating the country he traverses leaving it a. wilderness through the ust of the torch and explosives.

 In European Russia the bolshevik and the Germans for the moment seen to have the upper hand over tn, Czecho- Slovaks, who have been com pelled to evacuate Nolsk, SimbirSk ant kazan. The success of the enem, forces is attributed to a lack of am intuition and other supplies by tn Czecho- Slovaks.
 In Trans Caucasia the British fore which recently went to the relief o the besieged Armenians in Baku hay been compelled to withdraw into Mort Persia in the face of the large Turkis forces and the ineffectiveness of tn Russo Armenian aid.

 BEING HARD PRESSED

LONDON. Sept. 19.-The Czecho- Slovak forces in European Russia are being hard pressed by the enemy, largely owing to lack of munitions and stores. Within the last ten days the bolsheviki, assisted by considerable number of Germans, have succeeded in occupying Volski. Simbirsk and Kazan. The fall of Kazan appears to have been due entirely to lack of ann munition by the CZecho- Slovaks.
 The Germans are reported to be concentrating considerable supplies at kharkov and Bielogorod with a view 10 an advance on the Volga and to prevent General AleXieffs forces in the Don valley from joining hands with the Czechs about Samara.
