TOLL OF GERMAN
DEATH is HEAVY
[Continued from First Page.l


Over an area of several miles the
Americans now have the enemy un-
der their guns.
Daylight this morning saw the
Americans digging in almost undis-
turbed far beyond the old German
defense line.
Germany's expected blow against
the western front still is withheld.
Meanwhile the British and French
continue to recapture small pieces
of terrain in local actions. On the
mountain front west of the Brenta
the Italians have extended their
success by the capture of two more
heights.
Activity behind the enemy lines
is reported to be on a greater scale
than last week, but the Germans
have given no sign of where they
will attack. In fact, the Germans
have not even made strong attempts
to retake the ground captured by
the allies in the successful nibbling
operations of the past ten days. The
latest gains by the British have been
on the important sector between Ar
ras and the Somme, while the
French are active between the Aisne
Harass German Area
Allied airmen are harassing the
area behind the German lines with
increasing violence. Aerial combats
have been numerous and French and
British airmen have brought down
or sent down out of control fifty
three German machines and de-
stroyed eight captive balloons. Rail-
way functions. airdromes and other
military targets have been bombed
heavily, while British airmen keep
up their bombardment of the dis
tricts around Metz and eastward
toward the Rhine. Mannheim again
has been attacked. The Germans
repeated their attempts to raid Paris
Monday night but met with no sue
cess.
When the Germans attack they
probably will find an American
Army aiding in barring their way
westward 1t is believed the first
American corps has been completed.
Three divisions are in the line from
northwest of Montdidier TO cast of
Chateau-Thierry on the Marne.
Austrians Lose Again
Berlin reports the repulse of all
of the French and British thrusts.
A great portion of the German off,
cial report of Monday is given to
recapitulation of the number of pris-
oners captured since March 21. 1t is
claimed the Germans have taken
191,454 allied prisoners. Cannon
taken are reported as 2,475 and the
number of machine guns as 15,O24.
General Diaz strengthened appre-
ciably his position between Asiago
and the Brenta in the operations of
and Cnndau IN which
Monte di Valbella, Col del Rosso
and Col di Chelo were taken. The
Austrians suffered severely from the
Italian and allied artillery fire and
lost 1000 prisoners. The Italian
losses are reported as slight owing
to the accuracy of the supporting
artillery. Strong enemy counter-at-
tacks against Monte di Valbella
were checked by the Italians. VII
emma admits the loss of Monte di
Valbella and Col del Rosso and says
the ,Austrians withdrew to their for
Iner positions.
Czecho-SIovak Troops Fight
Czecho-Slovak troops took part in
the capture of Monte di Valbella al
most simultaneously with the an
nouncement that France and Great
Britain had given their support to,
the Czecho-Slovak fight for in
dependence. Other Czecho- -Slovak
flag, have been most active against
the Bolsheviki in Siberia.
No additional survivors of the
British hospital ship Llandovery
Castle. torpedoed by a German sub
marine, have reached land. The
number missing is 2S4 out of 25S
persons on board.
