Associated Press War Summary)
 The offensive movements Of the Germans between Montdidier and Noyon and from south of the Disc river to the eastern fringe of the for est of Villers Cotterets apparently are on the wane.
 In the former region the fierce re- sistance of the French and allied for ces, for the time being at least, has checked the enemy at all points and on some sectors the allies have even turned vigorously upon the foe and forced him to cede ground he had gained.
 Allies Rcpulse Strong Attack.
 Only one attempt apparently was made by the enemy Thursday to bet ter his position near Montdidier. Here he launched violent counter at- tack from Courcelles to the north of Mery, a front of about mile and half, but was badly cut up by the fire of the allied guns and forced to re- treat leaving numerous dead and wounded on the field.
 Likewise south of the Aisne the in- vaders are meeting with unexpect- ed opposition and notwithstanding the large numbers they have thrown into the battle their gains have been re- latively small.
 East of Soissons they penetrated to the village of La Versina but were unable to advance on any of the other sectors, altho at one time, north of Courcy, French trenches were enter ed under the force of the impact.
 French Cede Some Ground.
 A counter attack resulted in these trenches being recaptured almost im- mediately. The sole result of the enemy's attakc on the Montdidied- Noyon line up to the present is that he has by the violence of his attacks east of the Disc and the forced re- treat of the French from the region west of the stream plotted out the awkward Noyon salient and brought the battle front more into direct alig- ment with that beginning at the Aisne.
 And terrible price has been paid by the Germans for this rectification of the line. Whether they are again prepared to offer huge sacrifices in bonding back the other salients from the Aisne to Villers Cotterets and bring the Picardy and Aisne battle fields in to a more continuous front remains to be seen.
 Allies Capture Many Gains.
 In addition to the large number of prisoners taken by the allied forces. ten cannons, four being heavy weap- ons, and large number of machine guns have fallen into their hands. The German war office admits the lass of some German guns, but asserts their forces have taken at least 150 allied guns and more than 15,000 prisoners.
 The Germans again have endeavor- ed to force the Americans from po- sitions captured northwest of Cha teau Thierry but again met with de- feat and the loss of numerous men. The attack was delivered between Boursches and the Belleau wood, but nowhere was the enemy able to gain his objective American officers and men to the number of 108, fighting on the Toul sector, have been awarded the French war cross for bravery and fidelity.
 Aside from Macedonia the opera lions in the other theatres of the war continue of a minor character con- sisting mainly of mutual lombard ment and patrol encounters.
 French Gain in Macedonia.
 In Macedonia the French troops have captured territory to a depth of nearly 1-2 miles over an eleven mile front occupied eleven villages, and taken BIO of the enemy prisoner.
