Germans Soundly Thrashed


ing defeated, but he is being
soundly thrashed and he will be
lucky if he escapes annihilation
That, in brief, tells the main points
of the news from the Marne in the
last twenty-four hours.
The news grows better as each
hour passes. When it seemed as if
F'och had reached the limit of his
present achievement, an even great.
er success has crowned his efforts.
Having forced, by hammering the
flank, withdrawal Of enemy troops
to the north bank of the Marne,
franco-American forces continued
their pressure on the German right.
and this morning entered Chateau
Thierry, after it had been held by
the Crown Prince for more than a
month
Foch Squeezing Both Sides
At the present moment Foch is
squeezing both sides of the salient
with Franco-American forces be-
tween Scissors and the Marne and
Franco-British troops between the
river and Rheims. He is making
progress on both sides of the salient,
which is growing narrower with
each hour, and the Grown Princes
task of extricating his army is be-
coming correspondingly more diff
cult.
The enemy is being forced to aban-
don stores and guns and is losing
heavily in his desperate counter at
tacks, which are vainly launched to
stem the Allied forces, who are fight
ing gallantly in the flush of success.
Prisoners Still Come In
Foch's haul Of prisoners is mount
ing steadily. Along front of forty
miles tremendous forces are engaged
IN the battle, which quite probably
will prove decisive.
Both sides have been adding
fresh troops as fast as they can be
carried up in trains and lorries.
Tanks are being employed in great
numbers, the Germans depending
on their ponderous fortresses,
while the French are using their
smaller but faster tractors.

British Smash
Enemy Back in
Marne Valley
Clear Out Germans West
of Rheims, Except in
Narrow Strip

LONDON, July 21.-The French have
taken the town of Brasles, one mile
east of Chateau Thierry on the north
bank Of the Marne, according to ad-
vices received here.
The French line includes the heights
north of Braslcs, which gives the
French good bridgehead on the north
side of the Marne.
West of Rheims, where the British
we're engaged yesterday. the present
line leaves the enemy strip of about
four miles deep at the greatest depth
on front Of about thirteen miles in
the Marne Valley. That is all he has
to show for the big offensive of July
Is.
German rearguards have succeeded
thus far in preventing the French from
pushing detachments over the Marne
River. They are holding the north
bank of the stream with strong units.
In the Ourcq Valley the French are
approaching Oulchyle Chateau.
The Allies have advanced on the 25-
mile front between Chateau Thierry
and Soissons to an average depth of
five to seven miles, says the Reuters
orrespondent at French headquarters
telegraphing at 8 o'clock this morning
He adds that the Germans are still re-
treating.
Referring to the fighting east Of
Chateau Thierry along the Marne, the
correspondent says that eight German
divisions which had reached the south
bank of the river were able to cross the
hills which overlooked the Marine, but
none who lived 70 rccross will forget
the terrible days they spent south of
the stream. The ground they held was
overlooked everywhere by the French
and American artillery observers. In
closed in a narrow space between the
river and the hills, they offered a sure
target for the Allied artillery.
Fer food and munitions, he says, the
Germans were dependent upon the
transport service across the Marne
bridges, which were not only constantly
shelled. but frequently bombarded bv
French and British airmen. They were
unable to bring any artillery across,
with :he exception of mountain guns
and light mine throwers. The casual
ties of some units amounted to &C per
cent.
According 70 tho eaxraapondent the
New-York tribune., 1918-07-22

British participated in the battle for
the Grst time yesterday. They entered
the line in :he sectors between Rheims
and the Marine, in the region Of the
Ardre River, where Italian troops mad
teen fighting heavily for some days.
The British took their positions during
the night and attacked Immediately, and
with complete success, advancing over
a mile.
At one time the British took Mar
gaux, Cuitron and Courton Wood.
Some of these gains, however, were
lost when the Germans made counter
attacks.
German traffic at Fere- -Tardenois
is being vigorously and continuously
bombed by French airmen. The stu
alton is considered as being distinctly
promising. The Germans apparently
have to do one OF two things-clear
the French off the railway west of
Fere- en-Tardenois or bring back their
troops from north of the Marine to
1atten out the salient.
Further north the French have
reached the high road from Scissors
to Chateau Thierry, near the village
of Hartennes Faux

I'll p. M The Germans are fight
ing desperately to retain the great
plateau southeast of scissors, also
the ridge of wooded heights west of
Rheims. The retreat from the south
continues. The entire Marne line
has been abandoned.
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES.
July 2i (Evening). = Chateau
Thierry has fallen into Allied hands.
Its recapture was the natural result
OF the great success of General
Mangln's drive to the north, by
which the road from scissors to
Chateau Thierry had been cut.
The Germans holding the big
town on the Marne under a tornado
of Allied shellfre were thus con-
fronted with the danger of envelop-
ment and fell back, but not without
losses.
This movement may be but the
beginning of further retreat. The
Germans throughout the big salIen,
are now suffering from Allied long
range fire which necessarily rains
upon them from three sides. On
their own part, they have little
room to man@uvre. The roads are
heavily congested with traffic and
airmen report evidences of un-
doubted confusion.
However, the enemy to-day was
still showing heavy resistance to the
Allied advance south of scissors OH
the west and in the hilly country
southwest of Rheims on the east.

Crown Princes Reverse Is

Victories Early in War
Disaster Threatens

Allied Success May Even
Become the Turning
Point in History
By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, July 21.-Thc Crown
Princes army is in a general rout
and German arms are suffering the
greatest reverse since the early
days Of the war when the Russian
steam roller crushed all opposition.
With the impetus of his initiative
Foch is directing a battle which NAV
lead to a decision and end the war.
1t is no exaggeration to state
there has been no more momentous
time since the thin line blocked the
German rush to Calais when Foch
broke the wave of Huns sweeping
down the Marne Valley toward
Paris.
The tides have turned and are
running so strongly in the Allies
favor that it may carry Allied arms
to a much earlier victory than the
most optimistic could expect a week
ago.

Two Men Seriously In
iured in Attack Made
by Enemy With
out Warning
Aviators Force
Raider to Dive
Lehigh Valley Tug,
Bound for New York,
Set Afre; orty-
one Survivors

ORLEANS, Mass, July 21.-In
view of hundreds along the beach
an enemy submarine shelled and
burned a tugboat and sank three
barges without warning off this
town this morning, wounded three
of the crews, and dropped four
shells on, the mainland
The action lasted an hour and a
half and was unchallengcd except
for two hydro-airplanes from the
Chatham aviation station, which
circled over the U-bcat, causing her
to submerge, only to reappear and
resume firing.
The tug was the Perth Amboy,
owned by the Lehigh Valley Rail
road. She was towing four barges
three miles off this town on the
southeastern elbow of Cape Cod.
Bound for New York
The barges were bound from
Gloucester for New York and only
one was loaded, her cargo consist
ing of stone.
Of the forty-one persons, includ~
ing three women and five children,
On board, three men-Captain
Charles Ainslie of the Lansford.
John Bolovich and John Vitz, Aus
TRAN members of the tug crew
were wounded. Bolovich probably
will lose an arm Vitz had one hand
blown off. These two were sent to
the Massachusetts General Hospital
IN Boston. Captain Ainslie was
wounded in both arms by she'll frag-
ments and was treated at the sum-
mer home of DR.. J. Danforth Tay-
lor, of Boston.
The attack was witnessed by large
crowds of natives and summer Wis.
itors who had focked to the cape for
the week end. All accounts agreed
that the submarines shooting was
very bad. Her torpedo work was
no better. According to Captain
alnshe, she launched three tor
pedoes at the tug and all went wild
Attacked by Seaplanes
The attack occurred only few
miles from the naval aviation sta
tion at Chatham. Three seaplanes
attacked the raider with bombs, ac-
cording to Rear Admiral Spencer S.
Wood, commander of the First
Naval District. The fire was re-
turned, keeping the planes high.
flnally, however the U-boat sub
merged and was last observed head
ing south.
Tonight the tug was still afloat
and it was thought she could be
saved. The net result of the raid
was the sinking of barges valued
IN the aggregate at 100000. and
'he serious damaging of tug valued
al 100000, at the expenditure of
three torpedoes which it is estimated
cost the German government a total
o. $4,000, and quantity of am
munition.
Watchers Amazed
Inc appearance of the raider so near
'he treacherous shoals and tide rips
Oh the cape and her subsequent actions
caused amazement to the hundreds of
eye witnesses rather than consterna
'ion. The natives of the cape could
not understand why she should waste
s"eils on fleet of barges returning
coal port. 1t was reported, how
