French headquarters and timed Sat
urday evening.
Victories for the allied arms are
multiplying. Over the entire sixty
mile front running from Scissors to
Rheims the allied troops are fighting
with a determination that brooks no
denial. The Germans are giving
ground, though stubborn resistance is
being offered on some sectors. Fur
Their indentations have been made in
the German line between scissors
and Chateau Thierry by the Ameri-
ans and French. Practically all the
gains of the German drive south of
the Marine have bee blotted out.
Chateau Thierry, which represents the
point in the battle line where the
Germans had driven their wedge near
est to Paris, has been re%captured by
the French troops, and almost stimuli
~taneously the village of Brasles, two
miles eastward, and the heights to the
north of the village fell into their
hands.
Acting in harmony with the move
ment on Chateau Thierry, American

city broke through the German lines
and at some points advanced more
than three miles. 1.-The French hold
the entire southern bank of the Marine.
More than 10000 prisoners and more
than 400 guns have been captured"
To the north along the Ourcq val
ley the French are making progress
toward the important junction town
of Notwithstanding, while the
operations south and southeast OF
Scissors are keeping time with those
along the other parts of the front.
The entire southern bank of the
Marine having been cleared of enemy
forces, French, British and Italian
troops now are harassing those south
west of Rheims, and they have been
forced to fall back in the Courton
wood, the Ardre valley and near st.
Euphraise.
With the capture of Chateau Thier-
ry and the fast progress of the French
and Americans eastward from the
northern sectors, the plight of the Ger
mans In the southwestern portion Of
the Soissons-Rheims salient becomes
increasingly hazardous. 1t is not i'm
probable when stock is taken large
numbers of prisoners and quantities of
guns and war stores will be found to
have been seized by the allied troops.
Aviators continue to lend assistance,
scouting the back areas and ~harassing
the ~retreating Germans with their ma
chine guns. Notable work has been
done by American Indians for General
Pershings' men, the aborigines taking
a prominent part, in characteristic
Western fashion in scouting in the
Marine region.

BROWNING GUNS SHOW
WORTH IN TESTS

For the benefit of the general pub
lie, demonstrations of the Browning
machine gun and automatic rifle,
which our boys are to use against
the Huns in France, have been made
at Washington before correspondents
and members of congress. 1t is il
lustrated and described in letail in
the May Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Particularly worthy of note is the
simplicity of its construction, which
is of importance in the interest Of
quantity production and salts
factory field service. Both the ma
chine gun and the automatic rifle use
the same ammunition taken by the
Springfields and modified Enfieids
with which our soldiers are equipped.
The machine gun in one test fired 49,
900 shots without interruption. An
other fired 10000 shots in 48 minutes
and 16 seconds with three stops and a
malfunction due to defective cart
ridges.
The automatic rifle is known as the
"Light Browning" and hasn't sin
gle complicated piece of mechanism
It is gas-operated, air-cooled, and
weighs Is lb. It is fired from the
shoulder like an ordinary service rifle,
which it resembles, or from the hip.
It has less than 20 principal parts
of mechanism, is thoroughly stand
ardized, and it therefore has the ad-
vantage Of being easily taken apart
or assembled quickly.
