were speedily taken. especially at the
north end OF the attack opposite the
Paris-Soissons road.
Showing the effect OF splendid train
ing. tho American troops went forward
swiftly and fought with fury. Nothing
seemed TO stop them. especially in the
region of Scissors and 10 the south Of
that city. Light ana heavy pieces were
moved UP as the troops advanced, and
soon after each barrage ended shells
from the American guns were deluging
the enemy's rear areas, playing havoc
with his forces. whether those in retreat
or reserves endeavoring TO come UP.
II was open warfare with all the at
tending excitement. and through tne
gaps made by heavy guns and infantry
the French cavalry dashed. beating
down those In their path. Terrific losses
were inflicted at all points on the enemy.
The tanks did all that was expected
OF them. The great numbering engines
rolled along in front of the infantry,
driving the Germans before them with
streams OF bullets and clearing away
many distractions that had escaped the
artillery.
The enemy early began to bring up
strong requirements. Fresh troops
have appeared at various points and n
heavy counter attack will! probably have
TO be withs,ood.
Numerous tanks participated In the
offensive The American infantry went
into the attack without previous Rrtil-
lery preparation. In their advance be-
hind the rolling barrage they captured
many guns, machine guns, prisoners,
equipment and material
The Germans in most places offered
feeble resistance. but here and there
they put up stubborn tight which the
American shock units quickly overcame
at the point OF the bayonet and at the
muzZles Of their weapons.
The town of Scissors is now well
within the range OF the American guns.
As the whole German left flank Is
menaced. the enemy must draw in his
troops from the Marine front or risk
their being caught where they are
This means that the finishing blow pos
sibly has been administered to hts dying

hours of hard fighting
The troops on this part OF the front

material and prisoners, who continue
streaming back.
Hastily organized counter attacks
against the Americans developed here
and there, but all were broken up and
