FRENCH EVACUATE .CARLEPONT WOOD;
 HOLD ELSEWHERE
Summary of War Situation Discloses Futility of German Attack Over Entire Allied Defensive Lines.

Further gains have been made by the French troops in the fighting in the region between MOntdidier and Noyon. where in addition to the cap ture of territory near BellOy and St. Maur. the center of the line. 400 addi- tional Germans have been made pris- cner and some guns and machine guns have been taken. Numerous German counter attacks have been repulsed, but the enemy succeeded at one point in crossing the Matz river.
 On the eastern side of the Disc river the French have carried out strategic retirement along the line of Belloy, Tracy Le Val, and Nampcel. unob- served by the enemy
 Forther south. ncrth of the Marne. in the region of Chateau Thierry. the French have recaptured the village of MOntcourt and a portion of the vil- lage of Brussiares.
 Evacuate Positions
 In violent fighting between the Aisne river and the forest of Villers Cot terets the enemy made slight gains against the French.
 The French forces operating on the east bank of the Disc river. south of Noyon have evacuated the CariepOnt Wood and the Germans are closely pressing them sOuthward, according to the German official communication Wednesday The communication also asserts that the territory on the cp- posite side of the river. near where the Matz enters the. stream. has been cleared of allied troops
 Nowhere else along the battle front, running from Montdidier to the region around Noyon, is any claim made to further advances by the Germans. On the contrary. the latest ccmmunica- tion shows that the enemy every where has been busily engaged in at- tempts to hold back the French and ether allied troops, among them some Americans.
 EVades RepuIse in Report
 No mention is made in the com munication of the allies having ad- vanced their front east fo Mery and the Genlis Wood or of the repulse of violent German attacks along the Ar onde river and at the Loges farm and Antheuil Neither is there any men tion of the fact that the enemy not withstanding his numerous attempts. has been unable to cebOuch south of the Matz river
 The communication asserts that all the counter-attacks of the allied forces have been repulsed and that they suffered heavy casualties. It declared the number of prisoners taken by General Won Hutier's army has now risen to more than 13.000. It has been admitted that the position of the defending line on the west bank of the Disc river was a delicate one. owing to the capture by the Germans of the outflanking hills to the west. and a successful drive through the Carlepont Wood on the opposite side of the stream. seemingly would have necessitated a strategic retreat if the troops were not to be entirely cut off
 Americans in Breach
 Southwest of MOntdidier. where the allied forces on Tuesday. in violent counter attacks. made notable gains against the enemy. American troops have been thrcwn in the fray but how many or to what branch of the serv- ice they belong has not yet been indi- cated. To the north of Moutdidier the Germans several times have tried to drive out the Americans from the vil- lage of Cantigny. but each time they have been repulsed. One party of forty Germans was routed by the revolver fire of the defenders of the village.
