London, July 16.--American troops
report that Fossoy and Crezancy,
towns on the south bank Of the
Marne were taken yesterday by the
Germans when they crossed the riv-
er. The Germans attacked in consid-
erable strength at these two places
by way of the Marne railway and
south of Dormans. In this neighbor-
hood they succeeded in throwing six
bridges across the Marne between
Reuilly and DOMAINS. but at no point
on this twenty mile front has the enc
my penetrated more than four miles
into the French positions. The ene-
my continued the attack today bu,
has made no gains at any point
Nearly everywhere the Germans have
been held up with heavy losses.

HOLDING AT RHEIMS.

Machine Guns Moved Huns
Down as They Advanced.
With the American army on the
Marne. july 16.-Information this
morning from east of Rheims shows
that the allied defense is not only
still holding but it appears that it has
broken down the enemy attack. An
American couner attack at one point
east of Rheims drove the Germans
out Of a strong salient after hot fight
ing. The Americans allowed the
Germans to come through their first
position and as they came up a slight
hill the machine gunners from excel
lent positions moved down the ad-
vancing ranks of Germans who broke
and retreated at many places.

slowly being driven back.
For time small American unit
was comcpletely cut off from the
American artillery and apparently
was surrounded by the Germans, but
II continued fighting and blazed its
way out leaving many German dead
or wounded on the field.
The Germans apparently deliber-
ately attempted to shell several vi
the American hospitals near the
Marne front today. A number OF
shells fell intermittently a short dis
tances from them. They did no dam
age. beyond disturbing the patients.
Along one extended sector of the
Marne front the Americans were in
the open ground. making use as best
they might of whatever shelter offer
ed; the Germans were on hills on the
opposite side of the river. showering
hiSh cApiooi"So anu bdo SiiciiS upon
them. But the boys from the United
States went forward nevertheless
with gas masks adjusted and crawl
ing at times for considerable dis
tances on all fours.
In this way they advanced bit by
bit, and when they came close enough
to come to grips with the Germans,
they drove the enemy back in quick
order.
In measure they repeated today
the heroic deeds of those who de-
Tended the road to Paris in the sec
ond battle OF the Marne.
The correspondent talked with
some American soldiers now In hos
pitai, who were In the thick Of tho
hghting this morning. They were in
complete agreement that the German
was no match for the Amer.
leans.

AMERICANS TAKE PRISONERS. PRISONERS
ONE COMPLETE BRIGADE STAT
CAPTURED.
Efffcctive Work of United States Sol
diers on Marine Upscts German
Plans.

With the American Army on the
Marne, July 15.-The German prison.
2rs captured in the counterattack by
the Americans at the bend of the
Marine number between 1000 and l.
500. They include complete brigade
staff.
The fighting continues with fierce
intensity in this district while the bat.
tie RACES with equal ferocity on the
light, where the French are reporteo
to have delivered a smashing blow
against the enemy. From this section
Of the battle front it appears that the
ierman offensive at least, for the time
being, has been badly shattered.
The Americans now command the
river front at the bend. At the left
If the bend, the famous German
Tenth Division has made repeated at
tempts all day to cross, but all as
aults have been smashed by splen-
Idly directed fire of the American
runners and not a single German had
succeeded in getting over at this
Doint up to o'clock tonight.
A strong American counterattack
south of the bend of the River Marne
completely upset the Germans who
broke in retreat. The American troops
drove the enemy back all the way to
the railway skirting the Marine in the
| region southwest of Jaulgonne. This
| position now is being held.
The French general commanding
| the group of armies on this sector sent
Il congratulatory message this after
noon to the American general COM
manding the forces which beat back
| the enemy.
| The Vaux district is comparatively
calm now. On the American right
heavy fighting is in progress. Ameri-
can machine gunners along the river
assisted materially in breaking up the
early Boche plans, for they stuck to
their posts and poured deadly streams
of bullets into the enemy and only
withdrew when their guns were so
hot they could not be fired. One
group Of machine gunners happened
to be in a place where the Germans
were anxious to erect a bridge, but
their efforts were futile. The Ameri-
can bullets piled up the German dead
on the opposite side of the river ey-
cry time the enemy started to cross.
South of Jaulgonne the enemy
crossed the Marine this morning on six
oontoon bridges hurriedly thrown
over the stream and masses of infan-
try swarmed forward. The artillery
constantly had the bridges under the
heaviest fire and at least two direct
hits were made, two of the bridges
'eing blown up. After sharp artillery
work German troops advanced be-
hind the smoke of their artillery which
completely obscurcd them for a time
from view. The low visibility also
aided the enemy in his operations.
