thus far and we viii continue to

German masses no longer hurl
themselves at the allied lines along
extended fronts. The momentum OF
the Teuton advance of last week ap-
pears to have exhausted itself in
striking the yielding lines OF the
French and British, which now
have stiffened and are holding the
foe except for insignificant gains
here and there, in the neighborhood
of scissors to Chateau Thierry.
The struggle apparently is chang
ing from a war of movement to q
war Of position.
Attacks Are Repulsed.
Official reports show that the Ger
mans are launching their assaults
on Chezy, Corey and near Dom
miers, isolated points of vantage.
These attacks were, roughly. from
five to seven miles apart along the
line which includes ground where
the Americans have established
themselves and have fought the
Germans to a standstill. The
French official statement says all
the Teuton attacks wero repulsed.
The report OF operations along
the British front fails to show any
notable. activity on the part OF the
Germans. At Morlancourt between
the Ancre and the Somme, south
of Albert, the Germans, supported
by heavy artillery fire, attempted
to raid the British positions. but
were repulsed, leaving prisoners be-
