The Americans fought their first
action of any magnitude about a
week ago in the region east of St.
Mihiel. The fight centered at the
village of Seicheprey.
The Germans 1900 strong attacked
the American lines and also the ad-
joining French lines. They entered
village of Seicheprey and captured
it after fierce fight. in which they
took 1873 American prisoners. The
Americans. aided by the French,

ceeded in bringing down two enemy

quilting the few remaining defenders.
Meantime the entire Franco-British
line had been swept back after futile
counter-attacks. On Thursday the
Germans continued to press forward
slowly and with heavy loss. On Fri
day the battle continued and the
enemy occupied the whole Franco
British line from St. Eloi to a point
northwest of Bailleul. In the latter
region the allied lines held fairly well
and this prevented the Germans from
developing their victory. ltwas now
apparent that the entire Ypres posi-
ton was in the gravest peril. Heavy
fighting was in progress within two
miles of Ypres on the south and the
enemy showed no signs of letting up.
1t was necessary for the allied lead
ers to decide whether they should
continue to hold Ypres or retire along
wide front for several miles. They
came to the conclusion that they
would contest every foot of the
ground, and in the engagement on
Saturday south of Ypres the German
attacks were frustrated and hundreds
of prisoners were taken by the Brit
ish. For the moment Ypres was
safe. but it may be that the British
are evacuating it in a methndical
manner.
In the Amiens district the course
of the battle was decidedly unfavor-
able to the Germans. The British
were holding the left of the line at

the right at Hangard. The Germans
took Villers in a swift attack, aided
by three or four tanks. By Wednes-
day evening they were in possession
of the village and had pressed the
British still further toward Amiens.
The British. however, had carefully
prepared for counterattack and
were at the enemy hammer and
tongs on Thursday, forcing them to
give ground steadily. By nightfall
they had recaptured Vilers and re-
established their lines almost as far
forward as they had been when the
battle began the day before. Mean
time the French had held on to Han
gard after the British had lost Villers.
The village. in fact. changed hands
several times and was still in enemy
on Thursday But at dawn
on Friday the French forestalled an
enemy drive by taking the offensive.
They raced through a heavy barrage
and tne surprised enemy fell back at
the first assaults. The fighting con-
tinued furiously for long tim :. but
the enemy ceded the village to the
French. who are still in possession of
it. Meantime there had been heavy
fighting back and forth along the en-
tire line. At present it is a ragged
line with may small salients. but on
the whole the Allies have the advan-
tage of position and can claim the
defeat of the enemy.
