WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
ON THE MARINE FRONT, July D.
In a brilliant operation after hard
lighting, American troops on this front
last night captured the village OF Vaux.
together with large slice OF the Paris
highway west Of Chateau khierry, and
two patches OF wooded land.
The Americans tooks H5 German
prisoners, including five officers and
captured a quantity OF machine guns
aud other equipment
Germans Surprised.
In the Naux region the Americans
took the Germans completely by SUR
prise Most ois the prisoners were
taken out OF cellars and dugouts.
How many Germans were killed. of
course, is unknown, but from the num-
Der OF dead in plain view at various
places. the total must have been con-
siderable.
Planes Soar Over Battle.
While the artillery preparation was
going on many American airplanes flew
high overhead Some were protecting
the observation balloon, while others
were comblug the skies to keep off
enemy machines
Early this mornings the American
pilots again appeared Tor similar duty,
and were soon found cOnteSting with
the enemy for supremacy IN the air. A
number OF the aerial battles were OBJ
served, but reports on the results are
not yet available.
Germans Run to Rear.
It was exactly o'clock last evening
when the Americans went over the 'op
under the protection OF hail OF ma
chine gun bullets from our machine
gun barrages The infantry action was
preceded by a short but terrific artil-
lery preparation When the Ge mans
saw that a formidable attack was Ce-
veloping many of those in outposts
yelled and ran toward the rear to nests
from which a hot fire began pouring.
The Americans paused for a moment
while the automatic rifles and machine
guns with the advancing troops fought
duel in front Of Vaux briefly, but
effectively. with the enemy
Tanks Run Into Fight.
Then the Americans. whose number
was considerable went on, most OF them
running in their eagerness 10 get at
close quarters with the Germans.
At the same time the boche began
hurlng gas shells 10 the rear OF the
American lines 81
Within a brief time the Americans
had wrestled from the enemy the Bois
de Ia Roche and the wood, adjoining
IT, Then came word forward IN { the
Americans were in Vsux and finally,
after sharp fighting there In the streets
and houses, they overcsme all resist
ance and swept on beyond the village.
The Americans reached every one ~
their detectives and by this operation
they have eliminated a salient and have
Strengthened out their line
Enemy Under Our Guns.
Over an area OF several miles tho
Americans now have the enemy und0
their guns ~
Daylight this morning saw the Ameri-
cans digging in almost undsturbed, ar
bcsond the old German defense line.
To the rear, patches Of prisoners and
piles Of material are going. The num-
ber OF prisoners has steadily mounted
until II has reached rs. The guns and
material have not yet been tabulated.

Provost Marshal General Crowder has
written letter to every exemption board
suggesting that plan for the systematic
instruction of selectives prior to their
call in the draft be instituted. The plan
includes all such measures as are best
calculated to prepare the selectives to go
camp willing, loyal, intelligent, clean and
sober, and thus better fit them for rapid
progress in the military education after
joining the army. The plan is to have
a special board of instruction appointed
in each county, and that the selectives
be given the rudiments of drilling. This
preliminary training at home would be
given to all selectives who desire to take
It, and would not be compulsory. 1t is
not known as yet whether the Richmond
county exemption board will appoint {
board of instruction, and carry out thi:
idea or not.
