the American fighting units which
General Foch threw in at the very
vital sector south Of the Marne,
near Chateau Thierry. The sector
of the line held by Americans is
said not to have been attacked in
the main German drive, but later
the Americans were thrown in on
the line from Chevy westward.
The Americans were thus at a
vital pivot of the German attack
across the Marne
When the attack started the Ger
mans dealt subsidiary blow at the
American sector near Vaux to pre-
vent them from helping further
south. The Americans smashed the
Vaux attack in the north. Later.
when the Germans crossed the
Marne, General Foch threw in the
American troops at the hinge of the
new salient. The Americans earned
the admiration Of the French by
their magnificent attack, which COM
pletely upset the German plans here
and drove the enemy back some
four kilometres and over the Marine
at MeZy.

FRENCH

PARIS (NIGHT).-T battle CON
tinued to-day with stubbornness
along the whole front. West of
Rheims, despite his efforts, the
enemy was not able to make further
advance. Our troops by their heroic
resistance and inccssant counter at
tacks checked. with alternative ad-
vance and recoil, the thrust Of the
enemy.
South of the Marne the fighting
proceeded on the wooded slopes north
OF st. Agnan, La Chapelle and Mont
hodon. Very spirited actions north
OF Combiizy and Festigny enabled
us to hold the enemy on the southern
outskirts Of Bouquigny and Chat
algnieres. East of Oeuilly the Ger
mans succeeded in regaining a foot
ing in Montvoisin.
Between the Marine and Rheims the
battle continued north of Reuil, and
IN the Bois du Roi, which the Ger
mans penetrated, and which our
troops defended foot by foot.
The Forest of Courton likewise
was the theatre Of violent engage
ments. The enemy holds the line
west Of Nanteuil-La Fosse.
Pourcy, the objective Of powerful
attacks several times renewed, could
not be reached by the Germans. A
brilliant counter attack by the Italian
troops west Of this village drove back
the enemy into the Ardre Valley.
Numerous enemy dead before our
lines testify to the heavy losses suf-
fered by our adversaries.
The situation is without c,fange in
the sector of Vrigny and southwest
of Rheims.
East of Rheims we broke up an at
tack between Beaumont
and Sillery. Our positions remain
intact along the whole Champagne
front.
PARIS (DAO.-South of the Marine
new German forces pushed forward
and attacked yesterday and last even

the Bourbonnerie Farm, and the bat
tie continues with violence on the
slopes and woods Immediately south
of this point.

Nesles. The Germans likewise
launched a powerful attack in the
direction of Montvosin, on the south

locality by powerful counter at
tack by the French.
Between the Marine and Rheims
violent combats developed in Courton

East of Rheims German local at

Americans SO Eager
They Start Attack
Before Order Comes

PARIS, July 1--we regret being
unable on this occasion to follow the
counsels of Our masters, the French,
but the American flag has been forced
to retire. This is uncomfortable and
none of our soldiers would understand
their not being asked to do whatever
is necessary to reestablish a situation
which is humiliating to US and un-
acceptable to cur countrys honor. We
are going to counter attack"
That was the message sent by an
American general in command Of
American forces south of the Marine
on Monday afternoon after the Ger
mans had succeeded in forcing the
Americans back toward Conde-en- Brie.
The French commander informed the
American general that the early Ger
man success could not have any great
effect on the fate of the battle; that
it was understood perfectly that after
hard fighting the Americans had
slowly retired, and that it was not ex-
pected that they Immediately launch a
counter attack. He added that a
counter attack could be postponed
without risk and it might be better to
give the American troops an hours
rest.
Immediately after the American gen
eral sent the above message, which is
quoted by the correspondent of the
"Matin," the Americans launched their
counter attack and most of the lost
ground was soon recovered.

German Attempts
To Break Marne
Line Are Failures
,By The Associated Press)

ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN
FRANCE, July IT (Noon) This
mornings fighting on the active front
of the German drive was marked by
purely local attacks, which, however.
were fierce in character.
The Germans had sent heavy col
umn against the Bourbonnere Farm,
in the vicinity of st. Agnan, which had
been recaptured by Franco American
forces yesterday, and succeeded in re-
occupying it after a furious battle.
This is still continuing at this hour.
Futher eastward, along the southern
bank of the Marine, the Germans at
tackled and temporarily occupied Mont
voison, until the French came back
and elected them.
While the enemy was attempting
strong push toward Epernay in an
effort to cause the evacuation of the
Mountain of Rheims, he also was
making attacks on each side of
Rheims. SO far these assaults have
been bitter failures
The eastern side of Rheims re-
mains exactly as 1t was yesterday,
and the fluctuations on the western
side, according to the military com
manders, are absolutely insignificant.

only an estimate. No new German
move at another part of the front is
anticipated, though it is said an at
tack at night might be made by Won
Gallwitz's army in the Argonne to
help the offensive further west.
Every indication points to the fact
that Ludendorff drew up the mckt
ambitious programme for the present
peace offensive" one of the obiec-
tives being to continue the Paris
front southwark from Chateau
Thierry to the Seine, enabling all
approach to Paris between the Seine
and the Marne, and at the same time
cut the most direct railway COM
munication between Paris and Ver-
dun.
If this view is correct, the present
battle is the greatest defeat expert
enced by the Germans on the West
ern front since the beginning of the
campaign. The Germans are un-
likely to accept the present situa-
ton. The Crown Princes reputa-
ton is again at stake, and new at
tacks are pro obable as soon as fresh
divisions can be brought forward.

the "Temps" to-day in reviewing the

"Where our troops have assumed the

present stage of the offensive is said
to be distinctly satisfactory, in advices

stated to have been very small. They
have lost no guns, the report declares.
semi official report from Paris
reads:
while the enemy losses were fright
ful. ours were quite light, especially
east of Rheims. If we were allowed
to state the figure, it would be most
reassuring. Whereas during the previ-
Gus offensive, we had to send for re-
Inducements from other parts of the
front, this time those on the spot suf
feed to sustain the shock
"Ths is partially due to the constant
arrival of Americans, which reduces the
unequal proportion of the forces"

South of the Marne numerous

At some parts of the line east of

failure of the German offensive be-
