that he believed that it was one of
the Boches.

MILES OF MARINE BANK
BEST OF FORCES ARE ENGAGED
At Least Fourteen Divisions Were
Hurled Against This Part of the
Line. Many Units Literal
sfa.s ly Cut to Pieces. ..


On the French Front in France, July
1.-THE Germans have crossed the
Marine at various places, giving them
control over twelve miles of the south
ern bank of the stream between Gland
and Mareuil-Le-Port.
This operation cost them dearly
five brigades being destroyed as the
troops were passing over, while hun
dreds of their men are believed to
nave met death from the machine
guns and bombs of aviators.
The battle lulled throughout the
night after extremely lively action to
the south of the Marine. French and
American troops came back in the
most vigorous manner against the
Germans who crossed the river.
Many Hun Prisoners
In the course of numerous counter
attacks they made large captures of
prisoners in the neighborhood of Dor
mans, the Americans outdoing their
French comrades in this respent.
The maximum Germans effort APP
pears to have been thrown against the
western portion of the battlefield,
where the enemy made immense en-
deavors to advance as far as possible
south of the Marine towards Montm;-
rail, which it was his intention to
reach in the course of the first days
fighting.
The Franco American resistance,
however, prevented the Germans FROM
executing this plan. The strength Of
their effort is shown by the fact that
they engaged fourteen diVisiOns-aD-
proximateIy 10000 men-in the first
line battlefield.
Behind these were probably fourteen
additional divisions, some of which,
owing to the losses sustained by the
men in the front line, were compelled
to take part in the fighting.
Foe Cut to Pieces.
On the eastern side Of Rheims,
where the Germans met such a severe
check Monday. they also had about
fourteen divisions in the front line,
with similar number in reserve.
In consequence of the nature of the
| fighting there the, Germans suffered
terribly and their troops were obliged
to halt for the purpose of recognizing

sectors of the Germans are now aiding
the French in clearing theirs.
German Gains Are Small.
Other battles are proceeding be-
tween the Marine and Rheims and to
the east of Rheims. At no point have

gains.
South of the Marine the Germans
are pushing forward in their new posi-
tions and in the evening attacked the
heights to the north of st. Agan and
Chapelle Monthotor and then penetra-
ted Boudonnerie.
Houses In Paris Are Shaken.
Paris, July 17.-Violcnt artillery fire
continued last night on the fighting
front. Residents of Paris again heard
the roar and saw the flashes of the
guns. There was a dim Pickering in
the sky resembling summer twilight,
varied now and then by a red flash re-
Elected from low clouds.
The reports of the guns were more
faint than Sunday night and Monday
and were felt rather than heard An
intermittent dull muttering, punctu-
ated by occasional heavier thuds from
the French heavies, kept up during
the night. Houses in the suburbs were
shaken slightly, but in some places
the rocking of the earth was sufficient
to displace pictures on the walls.
