Hold on Position.

With the American Army on the
Fesle, Aug. 10.-American troops
have captured the village of Fis-
mette on the north bank of the
Vesle river a short distance north
west of Fismes. With the village
they took 100 prisoners.
Prisoners taken from different di-
visions on various parts of the
front agree that it is the German
plan to retire TO the Aisne.
(By Associated Press.
The allied advance in Picardy
has yet had no apparent effect on
the German positions between the
Vesle and the Aisne. The enemy
still clings TO the hills north of the
Aisne and has made attacks north
of Reims, which were repulsed.
Across the VesIe from F1smes the
Americans have occupied Ffsmette
and added another bridgehead TO
the position north OF the river
which is being enlarged rapidly.
Pressure on the remainder Of the
sector continued.

Won Hutier is a renegade French
man His father emigrated from
France to Germany and entered the
service of William l, serving in the

Behind Won Hutier is a country
that was completely devastated dur
ing the German evacuation in the
spring of 1917 and which was again
over-run during the German Of

territory offers little opportunity
for the formation of a defensive line

London, June Awhile the new Of.
fensive of the Germans has not been
completely checked, there is, never
theless, decided slackening of the
speed with which they started out
and their gains since last Saturday
have been slight when compared with
those of previous days.
And according to the accounts OF
unofficial observers, wherever they
have been able since the stiffening OF
the Allied lines to attain new posi-
lions, an exhorbitant price in lives has
been exacted from them. So great
have been the casualties suffered that

French troops almost everywhere sue

on several sectors themselves have

AS a whole the situation on this line
is relatively unchanged. 49,. ...
German Line Being Hard Held.
The German war office at last has
admitted that the Allied line on the
west has been reinforced by fresh
French units, but it asserts that they
have not been able to hold he posi-
lions to which they We're assigned.
Nevertheless, the fact is patent from
an observation of the war maps that
almost everywhere, in this region the
German line, for the moment at least,
is being hard held. 49, /
From Chateau Thierry eastward
along the Marne and thence to Rheims
the situation is virtually unchanged
from that of Sunday. The enemy holds
the northern bank of the Marine for a
distance Of about Is miles, but as yet
he has made no serious endeavor to
cross the stream.
The news of what it has cost the
German armies in men killed, wound
ed or made prisoners in the present
battle is reaching Germany through a
no less authoritative source than the
semi-official Nordedeutch Algemeinne
Zeitung. This journal prints a letter
from a colonel at the front who urges
the people to bear their losses with
patience and confidence.
Little Fighting in Flanders.
Little fighting aside from the usual
small affairs between raiding parties
is taking place on the Flanders front.
The British have carried out successful
raids on several sectors here and have
taken nearly 300 prisones. In the
Italian theater the operations continue
of q minor character. -.
