Marines Capture
Machine Guns That
Harass Their Line

PARIS, June Tn announcing that
the Germans are being held and that
French counter attacks are meeting with
success, an official note mentions espe-
cially the activity Of the American
troops along the Marne and northwest
of Chateau Thierry.
The note says that the latest fighting
confirms the general impression of the
last few days that the enemy is being
held everywhere, and that his reactions,
which have become purely local, yield
no results. The French counter attacks
have enabled the French to improve
their positions.
can episode to the honor of the
American troops" it adds, "happened
north of cy-le-Bocage, northwest Of
Chateau Thierry. AS the American
first line was being harassed by Ger
man machine guns an American patrol
boldly attacked the machine guns,
killed the gunners and captured the
guns.
at is thus that the young American
noldiers give daily fresh proofs of their
spirit, initiative and courage, as we'll
as their perfect adsptability to modern
fighting conditions"

Unwilling Enemy
Forced to Fight by
American Attack

LONDON, June T. Reuters CORE
spondent with the American army in
Picardy sends the following dispatch
concerning the fighting northwest of
ChateauThierry in which the Ameri-
cans were victorious:
"The American force operating north
west of Chateau -Thierry appears to
have been involved in a much larger
affair than was at first believed. This
force has now been engaged for three
days in serious and determined fight
ing in which our allies held the upper
hand throughout.
"The Americans themselves believe
they have been holding up German
advance that was intended to extend
the front along the valley of the Marne,
but the German methods rather sue,
gest reluctant acceptance of a fight
that was forced on them unexpectedly.
The Germans doubtless believe that
the Americans here, as elsewhere, would
hold the line defensively in order 10
gain experience. The American action.
however, has been on the offensive
throughout and they daily wrested
ground from the enemv which he had
been compelled unwillingly to defend
and forced to attempt its recapture.

Allies Make Gains;
Germans Are Held
To Minor Attacks
(By The Associated Press)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 1.-THE Germans, it is
generally believed, are now held at
every point Of their recent advance.
They seem unable to execute more than
minor. attacks, which are invariably re-
pulsed, whereas the counter attacks
which the Allies are making are prov
ing notably successful, nearly always
bringing about an improvement in po-
sitions.
Throughout yesterday, except in the
sector northwest of Chateau Thierry,
where. the French and Americans made
their brilliant incursion into the enemy
lines, and on the Chamnlat-Bl -Bligny line,
southwest of Rheims, where the French
and British cooperated in opposing a
German attack, there was little activity
along the battle line by the infantry.
AS for the artillery, the enemy has
increased his in volume during the last
few days, but he confined his attentions
chiefly to bombardng the rear Of the
Allied positions. In return the Allied
cannon left the enemy positions very
little peace, constant showers Of shells
being thrown in.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-08

Also, We have several vulnerable points
and, fighting on the outer lines, we
cannot keep such large reserves con-
centrated as can the Germans. We have
to spread out our reserves more than
we like, while the enemy can keep his
concentrated for immediate use in at
tack. Moreover, we now have been
driven so far back that we have not
much room to maneuvre and must
fight where we stand. There is, how
ever, not the slightest reason for de-
spondency.
Allied Losses Small
"The Germans claim to have capt
ured $4,000 prisoners and G5) guns.
In such a rapid retreat we were forced
to leave behind many wounded, who
swelled the number of prisoners, and
$50 guns is very small loss consider
ing the fact that the enemy attacked
and the French had a broad river to
the rear.
"In regard to the italian front we
must expect the Austrians soon to
take. the offensive; The Piaye no long
er is a formidable obstacle, as the
floods from the melted SHOWS have sub
sided, leaving a broad but shallow
river.
"The Italians run the danger of hav-
ing their line outAanked by possible
advance of the Austrians in the noun
tains around the Brenta Valley, but
their present line undoubtedly is much
better than was the Isonzo line.
I'VE can await the Austrian attack
with confidence. There are no German
troops with the Austrian forces on the
Austrian 'front.'"

oners it appears that single American
unit forced three German divisions
into action, making a serviceable ex-
ample of the first two and taking
ground from the third in bitter strug-
gle lasting whole night. With this last
named division the Americans were still
employed when the correspondent left
the field, at which time the omens were
favorable to the Americans"
Judging from further statements of
prisoners the Germans were badly in
need of rest. and according to the ap-
pe'tites Of the prisoners, they were
sorely in need of food.
Enemy Short OF Artillery
'lnadequate artillery backing given
to the first two German divisions sup
ports the idea that the enemy did not
expect an offensive, and that the guns
they used last night and this morning
were hurried back to point where it
was not expected they would be need
ed. On the other hand, it was largely
Americans that the first two enemy di-
visions were compelled to give ground
and had to suffer severe casualties.
But If the enemy was short Of ar
tillery he appeared to have an un-
limited number of machine guns, which
were used with great skill and effect
The Germans evidently extended their
practice of sacrificing a machine gun
or two in untenable positions in order
to bring the captors under a deadly
flank fire. This maneuvre took toll
of the Americans, as indicated by the
number of machine gun bullet wounds
and the surgeons explained that ma
jority Of such wounds had been re-
ceived at very close quarters.
Americans Pass Objectives
Nothing hindered the American de.
termination to reach their objectives
Indeed, their eagerness carried one at
tack in the night three kilometres be.
yond the assigned position.
"In the river valley, which contains
railroad, the stiffest fighting of the
night occurred, the enemy showing
great determination to hold the rail-
way station Of Bouresches. This sta
tion, with the entire village, ultimately
fell into the hands of the Americans
and the French
zone reason why the fighting last
evening was so desperate was because
the German counter attack was
launched at the very moment our fresh
advance began, the men thus coming
into close grips, in which the bayonet
played decisive part.
THE American casualties were not
out Of proportion to the magnitude of
the operation, but, owing to the un-
faltering courage Of the marines, the
losses largely have fallen on that fine
regiment of redoubtable fighters"

Service Cross has been awarded to the
following officers and men of the

ward Armstrong, Bernhard S. Rolt and
mond Hulsart, Lieutenant Paul Nc
Loud and Second Lieutenant Donald

The last three are railway engineers
and won their crosses for their be-
havior in the fight ON November 80
southwest of Cambral when the Amer
lean engineers assisted the British in
withstanding a German attack.
Lieutenant Redwood and four men,
bers Of his company, Corporal Mon

the enemy and made their way back to

Lieutenant Holmes "led patrol and

daring in cutting twelve strands of
enemy wire in front of listening post
and crawling through" There he
leaped on a sentinel, made him prison

in the exploit and with coolness and
nerve killed one Of the sentinels who
had fired on Holmes"
Lieutenant McLoud remained under

sist wounded Ame rican soldier and
I remained until help arrived. He
Tlunged into the barrage fire q second
time in search of missing British
soldier.
Lieutenant Hulsart acted, as did
Lieutenant McLoud, in directing the
escape of his men under heavy she'll
fire when they were caught urarmed
until all Of them had left. Later he
passed twice through barrage fire, once
to assist in the removal of wounded
American soldiers and again to search
for wounded British soldiers.
In the case Of these engineer officers
all three men had been previously
warmly praised by the British for the
part they played during the Cambra
tghting in November, the details of
which have been previously told.
Lieutenant Burch acted with con-
spicuous bravery in leaving his dugout
under an intense bombardment and
going to the rescue of a wounded COM
rade lying outside, exposed to the
enemy fire.
