NO CHANCE OF PROGRESS
Serious Situation Of the Attacking
Huns Is Shown by Message
Taken From Bird.

With the American Forces on the
Marine. Reports from one end OF
the battle line to the other say that
except for a few minor localities tho
great German offensive so far has
been complete failure. Additional
German prisoners taken say they are
convinced that their commanders have
been beaten.
American troops shot down a cour-
Ter pigeon belonging to the enemy east
OF Chateau Thierry 1t was carrying
a message from a German divisional
headquarters saying that the situation
was serious; that the Germans saw no
chance of making further progress in
the locality of that division.
Word received from the battle from:
10 the east of Rheims shows that the
allied defense is not only still holding
up the German attempts to advance,
but appears to have broken the enc
my's spirit.
On the front east Of Rheims the
Germans, exhausted by the fruitless
struggle in which they were engaged,
were unable to penetrate the French
zone of defense, which runs to the east
ward through Prunay, south of the
woods north of Chausse Romano.

HUN OFFENSIVE COLLAPSED
Americans Hurl the Enemy to Marine,
Taking Fifteen Hundred
Prisoners.

With the American Army on the
Marne.- Passed by the Censor. -The
German offensive against the Ameri-
cans collapsed. The American troops
swiftly gained all their positions and
destroyed the German pontoons across
the Marine. Our troops have taken
1900 prisoners.
All German forces on the south
bank of the Marne are in danger of
being captured.
The fighting continues with fierce
intensity in this district, while the bat
tie RACES with equal ferocity on the
right, where the French are reported
to have delivered a smashing blow
against the enemy. From this section
of the battle front it appears that the
German offensive, at least, for the
time being, has been badly shattered.
The Americans now command the
river front at the bend. At the left
of the bend, the famous German tenth
division has made repeated attempts
to cross, but all assaults have been
smashed by the splendidly directed
fire OF the American gunners, and not
q single German had succeeded in get
ting over at this point.

Official reports relative to the grand

The Americans and French held up

While fighting in the open contin-

American infantry dashed from cover

1t is even reported that the Ameri-

hundred yards, but this has not been
confirmed. Further sharp fighting is
likely to develop in this area.

Washington.-Redu by half of

would take to put Americas first field

formal announcement by General
March that three full army corps had
been organized by General Pershing
and that the number of soldiers sent

Elemental army troops such as heavy
artillery, will total a million men.
Instead of one field army on Jan. 1.

will be operating in France by that
late, backed by full American built
and maintained supply lines. The
great project of establishing the
American army as the right flank OF
the battle line will then be within

General March said organization Of
the first field army had not yet been
completed. The formation OF the three
