London. July 15.-The Germans have
crossed the Marne at several places IN
their big offensive begun this morn
ing, according to advices received here.
Advices here state, that thesbig at
tack. began on a front OF thirty miles
between Chateau Thierry and Bligny,
southwest Of Rheims.
The Germans also attacked east OF
Rheims, between Prunay and Maison
de Champagne, on front of twenty
five miles.
The main attack, it Is added. seems
to be in the Champagne. The advices
to this effect came to the Central
News.
[Offictal reports relative to the
grand offensive began this morning
against the allied positions show that
It is the most ambitious stroke since
March 81, when the Germans launched
their assault against the British lines
against the vicinity Of Arras to La
Fere. The front in the March 81 Of
fensive was reported to he about fifty
five miles in length. The one over
which the Germans are attacking to-
day is approximately fifty miles,, from
Chateau Thierry on the west to the
Argonne in Champagne, IN the east.
The Germans followed their usual
tactics of beginning ar offensive.
There was brief artillery prepara-.
tion Of greatest violence and then
came an advance Of assault troops.
There seems, however, to have been y
new feature in. this ettack.. Great
naval guns have been brought behind
the enemy lines and towns and cities
far behind the actual battle area were
taken under bombbardment. The vio-
lence Of this cannonade is evidenced
by the fact that the city Of Maux,
twenty five miles west Of Chateau
.Thierry. was under fire Of great pro-.
jectiles during the night.
The apparent purpose Of the Ger
mans in attacking from Chateau
Thierrs eastward to Massigny was
similar to that in the great attack
along the Aisne late In May. They
evidently hoped to find the allies less
prepared in this sector than else
where.]

bofhbardment Of high explosives and
gas shells thruout the night.

the Americans swarmed out and met
the attackers with machine gun bull
lets.
The Americans wore their gas masks
az they fought the attacking Germans.
An enemy bombardment of towns in
the rear Of the lines began shortly after
6 o'clock a. m.
At s:55 a. m. the latest reports say

the fighting, maintaining their posi-
tions.
Hun Shells Fall in Maux.
Heavy shells from German naval
guns are falling in regions far behind
the actual battle area, many of these
projectiles having fallen in the city Of
Maux, twenty-five miles from Chateau
Thierry. In many Of these towns the
German shell fire is constant, the pro-
jectiles being from ten and twelve-inch
naval guns.
Reports from American advance
positions said that the Americans were
handling the enemy well" in the des-
perate fighting, which is continuing.
At 1881 a, m. it has not been deter
mined how the battle in. the vicinity Of
the yaux was progressing.
The whole line in both directions
from that town was dense with smoke
and gas fumes.
The roar of the cannon was punctu-
ated in the few intermissions with a
terrific din OF machine guns and rife
fire which seemed Of the hottest char
N.acter in iVaux itself.
Yank Counter Attack Succeeds.
The American forces on this front
delivered q counter attack upon the
Germans III the vaux region this
morning and drove off the enemy.
It is reported that the Americans

mentioned in the report
President Callonder said ne was sur
prised at the declaration concerning
Swiss neutrality. made by the United
States, France and England. He said
that the federal council in its reply
had formally protested, insisting that
If the neutrality of Switzerland were
violated it would be the duty of Switz-
erland to defend 1t and such was the
only conception in conformity with
Swiss treaties
we refuse, said the president, TO
be under the protection of powers
which guarantee our neutrality. We
wish, in case of invasion to freely
conclude an alliance with them, and
If the case arises to call to our help
the powers which signed the treaties
of 1913 and 1916. The three powers in
question have not replied to the
answer of the federal council
I'VE have every reason to believe
that the declaration was not intended
materially to injure our neutrality.
And we are on the friendliest terms
with them
/ A despatch from Berne on Decem-
Der 5, said that the Swiss federal
council has been informed by the
United States that it recognized the
neutrality Of Switzerland The Amer

clared that the United States was in
complete agreement with the allies on
the subject of respecting Swiss neu-
trality and the inviolability Of Swiss
territory, so long as Switzerland main
