Washington, July 23.-Sklllful use
Of French cavalry has marked Gen
eral Foch's tactics ever since he took
over control Of the allied armies as
supreme commander, according to
information reaching military circles
here. The horsemen have played an
important role in the whole battle Of
1918 as the struggle which began
March 81, with the first German
drive, has come to be known.
The employment Of the swift NOV
ing mounted column in the present
counter stroke from the Aisne- Marine
line has been noted in the dispatches.
Again General Foch took advantage
Of the great mobility Of the mounted
arm, to throw them in wherever his
advancing infantry units threatened
to lose touch with each other in the
heat and confinement Of the contest.
No gaps have been left where the
enemy might strike back, for always
the horsemen came up to fill the hole
until the infantry line could be recti-
fled and connected in a solid front.

No Radical Chance.


With The American Army On The
Atsne Marine Front, July 23.-Over-
night information does not indicate
any radical change in the situation
along the battle front The pros
poets seemed to be that today would
be another Of heavy attacks and
counter attacks with not more than
slight changes in the line.
The troops Of General Pershing
and General Petain are holding al
most every inch Of ground they have
gained since the counter blow be-
gan on Thursday last
The Franco American forces north
Of Chateau Thierry now are holding
Epieds and nearby villages and a
bit of territory northeast of Mont St.
Pere. Further east the enemy is
continuing to counter attack I'M
successfully
" Along the greater part of the
front the artillery fire was the chief
activity, although at places brilliant
infantry operations are taking place,
while machine gun nests make every
open field a potential trap.
The number Of prisoners has been
increased by thousands, and a
veritable mountain of captured and
abandoned material is in possession
Of the allies. Many Of the guns
taken had been blown up or dam
aged by the enemy before he
abandoned them.
The British efforts along the line
near Rheims have been rewarded
by a bag Of prisoners and machine
guns.

British In Hard Eiahtina.

With The French Army On The
Aisne Marine Front, Monday, July %.
The fiercest fighting continued
throughout the day on both wings of
the German salient between the
Aisne and the Marine. The efforts Of
the enemy were concentrated on an
attempt to prevent the allied troops
from cutting through on either side
and thus imperilling the great
masses Of German troops still with
in the semi circle.
Despite the German determination,
French, American and British troops
all made progress.
Probably the heaviest fighting to-
day occurred on the eastern wing Of
the salient where British troops took
part. The Britishers, who had ar
rived on the scene only recently,
engaged the enemy in a hand to
hand conflict in the extremely wood
ed region southwest Of Rheims.
Four fresh divisions faced them.
One German division which had held
the line against, the Italians had
been annihilated, only a few hundred
remaining. The Germans had a
large number Of machine guns in
this vicinity but the British cap
tured 40 of them in the course Of a
strong attack in which they made
progress and took moro than 200
prisoners.
Altogether the day was satisfactory
for the allies, who are threatening
the German communications every
where. There is every reason to be-
Iieve that the Germans are hurrying
forward more divisions to add to
the so they already have thrown in
to the battle.

fired by the German artillery in an
attempt to search out the allied rear
indicate that the airmen failed to
spot the allied positions. Many shells
have dropped along the Marine at ir-
regular intervals and little danger
has resulted.
Throughout the day the heavy
guns Of the allied lines bombarded
the enemy with excellent results, &C
cording to aerial lookouts. Over all
the territory retaken the damage
wrought by American and French
guns shows that the positions form
erly held by the Germans suffered
much more than the allied lines, not
Withstanding that the volume of the
fire from the Germans was greater.
Further large numbers of prison.

today that the Germans are de-

tions in the pocket to the north of
the river Marine between scissors
and Rheims, preparatory to the en-
tire evacuation of that area.
The Germans are having the
greatest difficulty in maintaining
their communications in the salient.
They are unable to- utilize most of
the railroads leading northward, ow-
ing to the incessant marrying from
entente allied aviators and artillery.
The night was comparatively calm,
but several local counter attacks
were executed by the Germans in
an endeayor to cover the retreat Of
their main body. These attacks in
every instance were unsuccessful.
