WITH THE FRENCH ARMY, july IL
The French army in the Champagne has
not lost a single gun. II was owing
chiefly TO the airmen that the French
knew beforehand exactly where the
blow would be struck and approximately
on what day. When the offensive ac
tually began the airmen constantly sup
piled Information as to the points at
which the enemy was trying 10 cross the
Marne. in spite OF the clouds OF smoke
with which the Germans tried TO con-
ceal their movements.
They also, besides regulating the ar
tillery fire, described the localities in
which troops We're concentrated on the
right bank OF the river and enabled our
batteries to pour a stream OF shells upon
them as a result, the enemy casualties
were very heavy
The extreme points reached Monday
by the enemy south OF the river were
St Agnan and La Chappelle MonthOdon,
two villages on the road from Conde TO
Dormans. and further east the lower
for the time being the advance was
checked and there was no further fight
ing during the night. although the guns
on both sides were not silent and their
flashes could be seen as far as Paris.
Both here and north OF the Marne,
where the Germans got no further than
southeast of the forest OF Rodemat,
about half mile north OF the river, the
country is thickly wooded, although the
district below Dormans is generally
good deal lower than the heights on the
right bank, where the enemies batteries
were placed and therefore was exposed
to their fire.
The general situation in this sector is
that although the enemy is well beyond
the zone of outposts, the Germans have
not by a long way broken the French
line of resistance. East of Rheims the
results of the first day were much more
favorable to the French. as there only
the outposts were given up. No posi-
ton of importance was lost except the
heig hts of Maronvillers, which, as they
fell within this zone, had to be aban-
doned. 1t would be impossible to gar
rison this position, despite It's great
strength. with sufficient number OF
men to hold 1t, since If the rest OF the
line fell back, as 1t did Monday. the
whole garrison would be cut Off and sur
rounded.
The number of German divisions en-
ployed on the first day of the attack ap-
pears to have been fourteen (about

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, July IL
Every one of the Republican leaders and
delegates gathered here for the unofficial
State convention is waiting tonight
with eager expectancy the arrival of Col.
Roosevelt Tomorrow afternoon. They
feel that his determination to keep his
engagement In spite Of the news OF the
death of his son Quentin means that he
has a message OF the greatest import
snce to deliver.
The visit OF the Colonel, brief as it Is
to be, may have important results in
shaping the attitude of the party. Not
only will his speech sound n keynote for
the platform, but there is still wide
spread hope tonight on the part Of in
ruential leaders that the pressure being
brought to bear on him to enter the
Gubernatorial contest will be effective.
In spite of the fact that more recently
than Sunday he told a prominent man In
the national councils of tho party that
he could not consider being a candidate
for the nomination, those who are op-
posed to Gov. Whitman and who do not
believe Attorney-General Lewis meas
ures up to the situation are still throw
ing out hints that the Colonel finally
will enter the race.
Late tonight. one Of the most prom
inent leaders. whe-h has been in the
Lewis camp but is anxious to have
Ccl Roosevelt enter the primaries, said ::
There Is nothing to it but Roosevelt
if we want to win. What DO we care
about Whitman? What do we care
about Lewis. or any of them? What
we want to do Is to keep this State in
the Republican column for 1920. 1
think the Democrats are going to name
Gerard and Roosevelt is the man to
beat him."

against oyeroptimism in regard to the
situation on the battle front in France
and points out that renewed efforts or
an early diversion elsewhere is eX
pected.

the movement toward Epernay is
cause for anxiety. The article empha-
sizes the high valor Of the French.

also to the "redoubtable" Americans

ports tonight that the operations to-
day, although marked by severe fight

FIVE mile battle front against which
the initial attacks were made, has
dwindled down to a series OF appar-
emily disconnected local operations
This does not mean that the offensive
is over, by any means; on the CON

that the heaviest part of the attack is
still to come, but for the moment there
is a lull
On the whole the day was satsfac-
tory to the Allies. although the Ger
mans made small gains southwest of
