l.-(Noon)-The Americans today were still
holding firm on the entire Seringes-Sergy line of

Severe fighting took place this morn
ing near cierses, where enemy bomb

The battle, of the Marne has entered
a new phase in which the Germans
may be expected henceforth to con.
test bitterly every effort of the allies
to advance towards the Fismes line.
Consequently the American public
must not expect the same rapid pro-
gress in the next fortnight. which
marked the last two weeks OF fighting.
The War in Summary.
While the Americans have made
another gain east of Fere-en-Tar-
dennois there has been no import
ant gains in the battle positions on
the Aisne-Marne front during the
past twenty.four hours.
The Americans advanced on a
front of nearly two miles in the
Cierges- Ronceres sector, extending
their lines along the Jaulgonne-
Fismes road
y At the same time the Americans
continued successful cleaning up op-
erations near Mouniere wood.
The left wing of the American at
tacking forces directed its pressure
against high ground positions
which the Germans had fortified
with numerous machine gun en-
placements.
II On the eastern flank Of the sali-
ent the Germans undertook a cOun.
