pessimism Of the existence OF which these
articles themselves afford incontroverti-
BILE evidence.
Among the most notable Of these Is

who is acting chief OF the General Staff.
devotes two columns to proving there
is no occasion for anxiety. He begins
by quoting Suvoroffs answer to Joseph
de Maistre as to what constitutes a
lost battle-"the battle one believes to
be lost"
Prince Frederick Karl caught this up
and added:
"A lost battle IS certainly only a
battle one believes to be lost and which.
in following days. with stronger leaders
and stronger spirit. Is converted into
victory"
Won Freytag says in retrospect:
-Four years OF war, and what Ger
manys good sword has already won
justfies confidence Let us guard against
even temporarily allowing the belief to
arise in us that we could lose the world
battle.
"ln order that 1t be not actually con-
verted into a lost battle It Is necessary
above all that we do not give the enemy
occasion to think he has won the battle,
He will abandon this view II he aces
our home front unshaken, like our steel
helmeted front yonder."
The writer then goes on to say that
the German nation can be more certain
OF victory II its confidence assumes
more and more the color OF dark de-
fiance. 1t must not therefore. on the
threshold OF the fifth year Of war be
less confident or less courageous than
on the first days of the conflict.

LONDON, July 29.-Americans have

troops, the Prussian Guards. stopped
them and inflicted heavy losses. That
is the feature of to-night's information
from the dwindling Marne salient.
German resistance around Fere-en-
Tardenois has been very strong since
Sunday. especially at Chambrecy,
Vile en- -Tardenois, St. Gemme and
Sergy, along the new battle line. The
village OF Sergy. on the north bank of
the River Ourcq was taken and re-
taken four times and held to-day by
the French.
1t was just south of Sergy that the
Americans faced powerful counter
attack from the Fourth Division Of the
Prussian Guards. The Kaiser's crack
infantrymen were completely repulsed

July 29.-Sunday was another day OF
excellent progress for the American
troops, and though the part they took
was relatively small It was exceedingly
important Yesterday afternoon they
forced the enemy back in the Ourcq re-
gion, following up their advantage this
! morning. They are still gaining.
The German rear guard has been Of
fering strong resistance, but at some
points the Americans were surprised at
the ease with which they occupied COM
mandng positions giving a good view
of the route in front Of them. French
operations on either side of the Ameri-
can forces had a good deal TO do with
these advances.
Heavy Guns Moved Back.
North of the Marne, west OF Dormans
the Americans made good progress de-
spite determined resistance on the part
of the Germans. All indications now
point to a German retreat to the Vesie
River The enemy for two days has
been moving back his heavy guns.
The territory over which the Ameri-
cans are now operating is exceedingly
difficult, consisting OF thickly wooded
| sections and steel slopes, which offer de-
sirable machine gun positions for the
enemy. Rounding up machine gunners
is about the only occupation OF the ad-
vancing troops The men move along
