 All day the battle ragged violently. The French have held their positions on the plateaux southwest of Soissons and have made important advances at various points.
 The statement reads:
 'The battle began yesterday be- tween the ,Aisne and the Marne con tinued all day with extreme violence, the enemy reacting along the whole line with large reserves in an attempt to stay our progress. Despite his eff forts We continued our advance over the greater part of the front.
 "On the left we maintained the pla- teaux southwest of Soissons and in the region of Chaudun. In the center our advance exceeded three kilometers at certain points along the line of Vaux- Castillo, Villers-Helon and NOroy-Sur- Ourcq. On the right our troops after bitter fighting occupied the plateaux northwest of Monnes and the height

LATE AFTERNOON PUSH NETS GAIN
 TWO KILOMETRES
French-American Forces Con- tinue Stride While British Force Makes Small Gain in Addition

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY BE TWEEN THE AISNE AND THE MARINE. July 19, (By the Associated Press. )-The Franco-American troops made an advance late this afternoon on the Soissons-C Chateau Thierry front, averaging about two kilOmeters (abOur a mile and a quarter). Vicious Ger man machine gun fire southwest of Soissons hampered the advance sor only a short period.
 Tn the same section the Germans at tempted to use tanks against the Americans, but a not fire soon com pelled the tanks to retreat.
 The advance began with a barrage opening at 5:30 o'clock. Tanks were sent in by the allies to assist the in iantry and machine gunners, and the Germans endeavored to stem the tide with 2 heavy shell fire. Southwest of Soissons, the Germans repeatedly at- tempted to reach the allies big guns. The German firing continued until long after dark, but the French and American guns responded in kind, and gave full protection to the allied forces as they advanced along the line. Sey- eral towns were captured.
 Heavy endorsements were rushed up from the north by the German com mand in desperate effort to head off the hard fighting allies, whose rapid advance would if continued sever the German lines of communications. There are still strong German forces south of the Marne.

WASHINGTON July 1e.-War de- partment officials expect the real counter move against the Germans to be launched later this year. This was disclosed to members of the house military committee by General March, chief of staff, who indicated that the employment of possibly eight Amer ican divisions in the present double battle on the Eisne-M -Marne- Rheims front would not affect materially plans to hurl overwhelming manpower into the great struggle to come.
 It was made plain that the smashing attack of Franco-American forces on the Aisne-Marne line is as yet regard ed as only a minor operation. The success of the drive launched yester- day by General Fcch, however. has al- ready been startling. Official reports from Paris tonight said 17.OO0 prison CTS and 360 guns had been captured The Berlin statement admitted French advances, but ignored American par ticipation and claimed 10000 prisoners had been taken by the Germans in their drive launched last Monday.
 Apparently the enemy comman-
 der dare not admit to the Ger
 man people that American armies
 are already fighting over a long
 front and scoring repeated vic
 tories over veteran German divi-
 sions.

WAGE RAISE IS TYPICAL ACT OF
 PHELPS DODGE
Copper Queen Branch Has Record That Its Men Never Have Found It Necessary to Strike for Higher Wages

Almost simultaneously with the an- nouncement that the price of copper would be made twenty-six cents, an advance of two and half cents, came the announcement of A. T. Thomson, assistant to the president of the Phelps Dodge corporation, of an in crease in the wages of the miners en- ployed by their organization. This an- nouncement is typical of the policy of the Phelps Dodge companies. the Cop per Queen branch in particular having the record of being a leader in all wage advances. They are justly proud of the fact that their men have never found it necessary to strike for high CT wages, the company watching close ly increased costs and anticipating such requests.
 A few days after the preliminary announcement that wages would be raised came another saying that they would be raised fifty cents a shift. It was not anticipated that the raise would be as much as this, because of the fact that the mining companies have been paying on the basis of twen- ty-six-cent copper. Moreover, accord ing to the sliding scale of wages

HISTORY OF SINKING

POINT O. WOODS, N. Y. July 19.- Survivors of the United States cruiser San Diego sunk ten miles off Fire Is- land shortly before noon today. de- clared tonight that many members of the engine room crew must have been killed by the explosion which wrecked the warship. They were uncertain whether the vessel was sunk by a tor pedO from submarine or by a mine The cruiser remained aflOat thirty-six minutes after she was struck
 The torpedo or mine struck the ship just aft of amidship blowing up the boilers. One of the sailors declared the guns of the cruiser were fired at what appeared to be a periscope. The survivors who landed here numbered thirty-five including six officers. The captain and first officer of the San Diego were the last to leave the sink ing cruiser.
 Heavy explosions heard here late to- day were believed to indicate that some of the patrol boats which dashed to the aid of the cruiser had met a German submarine and were giving battle. The explosions continued until after s o'clock tonight and mariners living here declared they sounded as if depth bombs were being dropped.
 Several barrels of crude oil, one them badly charred. flOated ashore near here and this was believed to in dicate the possibility Chat a tank steamship also had been sunk.
 An hour before the San Diego was struck a barrel floating through the water SO fast it was believed 1t might conceal periscOpe was sighted by the lOOkitt and a double watch was posted.
 According to the survivors there was no excitement after the explosion. The of the men maintained the tra- ditions of the navy. All were provided with life belts and the ships boats were launched without mishap.
 Many lyeaped into the water when the decks were almost awash but were picked up. Several vessels summoned by wireless gave aid. Several of the small boats put ashore at Fire Island.
 The gunners stood by until the last that they might get shot at the sub marine
 The survivors who landed here were given food and dry clothing after which they walked a mile across the beach to Great South Bay where they were placed in power boats and taken To West 'Sayville From there they left for New York in automobiles.
 Several squad-ons of airplanes and dirigibles put to sea soon after the San Diego had been hit Late tonight

BATTLE VIOLENT
GREATEST DEPTH ATTAINED SEVEN MILES ON FRONT OF TWENTY-FIVE MILES; GERMAN TANKS FORGED TO BEAT HAsTY RETREAT

Undated war lead, by the Associated
 Press.)
 Notwithstanding the fact that the Germans have thrown large reinforce ments into the new battle line between Soisscns and the region of Chateau Thierry, they could not stem the on- slaughts of American and French troops.
 Friday the Americans and French battered their way eastward into the deep triangle which has SoissOns, Rheims and Chateau Thierry as it's points. They withstOOd a terrific counter attack on the plateau south west of Soissons, where the allied guns dominate this strategically im- portant town
 The gains Friday were carried to their greatest depth in the center of the twenty-five mile line and on the southern flank northwest of Chateau Thierry where the Americans are hold ing forth.
 The fighting was particularly vio- lent throughout the day around SOis- sons and in the region of Chaudun, where the Germans sent in large
 
 push back the allied troops Here the American artillery did notable work, killing or wOuuding many of the en- emy and aiding greatly in staving off the Germans.
 The Americans northwest of Cha teau Thierry have driven in the fine upon the plateau northwest of Bonnes and to the height to the north of Courchamps, the former position rep resenting a gain of three and a half miles from the point of original depac- ture at TOrcy. While it is not pos sible as yet geographically to delimit the exaetitude the gains made in the two days fighting along the front by the French and Americans. it is known that at its deepest point the penetra- tion has reached approximately seven miles and that over the entire twenty five miles it ranges down to about two miles.
 In addition to the infliction of ex- tremely heavy casualties on the enemy the French and American forces up to the present have taken more than 17.000 prisoners, including two colo nels with their chiefs of staff, and in excess of 36O cannon
 The offensive on the entire west ern front seems to have shifted to the allies. East and west of Rheims, where the Germans last Monday start ed a battle along a sixty-five mile front from Chateau Thierry to eastern Champagne, the enemy is now on the defensive on most of the sectors where there is any fighting. Friday saw the Germans lose additional ground along the Marne to the French and Italian troops. East of Rheims the Germans have not seen fit to resume the fight ing.
 Southwest of Ypres the British have carried out another successful insu-- sion into the German lines, capturing the village of Meteren, a point of strategic value for observation pur- poses, while further south Australian troops gained ground. The two maneu- vers cost the Germans nearly 400 men made prisoner and the loss of a num- Der of machine guns.
 The American armOred cruiser San Diego has been sunk off the Long I5- land coast. It is probable that Ger
