STRONG RESISTANCE OF AMER lcAN AND ITALIAN ARMIES RENDER ADVANCE OF ENEMY TO STRONG POSITIONS QUITE IMPOSSIBLE
GERMANS ADMIT THIS
CLAIM ONLY LOCAL SUCCESSES SOUTH OF RHEIMS BUT ALLEeE THEY HAVE CAPTURED MANY THOUSAND ALLIED ARMY SOL DIERS

Undated War Lead by the Associated
 Press.)
 The German offensive east and
 west of Rheims has had the
 brakes applied to 1t by the strong
 resistance of the Americans and
 Italian army. No where has the
 enemy found it possible to press
 forward and tear his way through
 opposing positions to points of
 vantae.
 Some gains have been made but
 they are trivial compared wltn
 those of other attacks. Instead cf
 in miles they may be reckoned all
 most in yards. And from some Of
 the positions captured tho enemy
 has been ejeeted summarily under
 vicious counter attacks ;ieiivereI
 by the American troops fighting
 alone as a unit and Americans
 fighting shoulder to shoulder with
 their French comrades in arms.
 Tacit admission that the enemy has been retarded in their assaults. if not halted seemingly is contained in the latest GsTman official communication. In dealing with the fighting of Tues day it says allied troops on the Marne front have delivered violent counter attacks and that to the east of Rheims the situation is unchanged. % The only claim made 10 any success by the Germans is that there were some local successes to the southwest of Rheims.
 The successes of the Americans and the French give back to them points of strategic value on the heights domi- hating the Marne valley. The Amer jeans alone recaptured FossOy and Crezancy east of Chateau Thierry and at one point near Fossoy drove back the enemy across the river and took a number of prisoners. Aided by the French the recapture of St Agnan. nil 223 and La Ghappelle-M -Monthodor. south of DOrmans, was accomplished. Throughout the region lying Co the west of Rheims, especially south of the Marne, the Germans made desper- ate attempts on various sectors to in- crease their penetration of the allied front, but where they were ale to gain any advantage it was only a foot at a time. the French meeting their onslaughts with the greatest bravery and making the enemy pay dearly for every inch of ground he took
 Eastward from Rheims hard fight ing is still going on almost to the western fringes of the Argonno forest, but apparently the enemy here also is meeting with ill success. Attacks at- tempted near Prunay and Suippes came to naught under the French fire. while further east, near CrQsnes and Tahure. efforts 10 break the French line were repulsed with heavy losses.
 The German official communication in dealing with the fighting of Mon day says the Germans took l3.0e0 prss- Oners. The French on their part are reported to have taken thousands Of captiyes and 1t is known that the Americans have made prisoner of be- tween 1000 and 1500 Germans In ad- dition the Americans. French and Ital- ians have inflicted terrible losses on the enemy by the accuracy of their cannon, machine gun and rifle fire.

FIGHTING FRONT INFERNO

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, July 16 (By the Associated Press).-Morning. The allied resist ance to the Germans in the present offensive has been SO great and the German losses consequently so heavy, that the enemy divisions which the German staff had not intended to u1- lize until tomorrow had to be thrown into the line by noon yesterday.
 The defense by both the British and the American troops was magnificent and a number of vigorous counter at- Jacks marked the fighting. A Ger man carrier pigeon that was captured bore a message saying:

PARIS, July 16.-The war office an- nounces that recapture of St. Agnan and La Chapelle-Monthodo today and the advance of the FrancO-American lines to heights dominating the Marne valley at various points. Desperate fighting is reported in several sectors of the new battle front, particularly south of the Marne where ground was given only foot by foot. when the allied line was obliged to bend back.
 The statement says:
 Today the Germans, who have not been able to resume their general at tack broken by us yesterday, made violent efforts to increase their local successes. Both in the morning and afternoon the battle was particularly desperate south of the Marne. Enemy forces attempted to ascend the river. Our troops retarded the advance of the enemy, defending the ground foot by foot; they have maintained their positions on the line of Oeuilly Leuvrigny.
 "On our part We cOunterattacked the enemy on the front of St. Agnan- La -MonthodOn. Our troops captured these two places and carried their line on to the heights which dominate the Mane valley in the re- zion of BourdonneTie and Clcsmilon.
 Between the Marne and Rheims the FrancO-Italian troops repulsed several enemy attempts to conserve their posi- tiOns.
 East of Rheims the Germans this morning began again violent artillery preparations followed by attacks at several points on the front A power full effort in the direction of Beaumont Sur-Vesle failed to debOuch from Pru- nay. In the sector of Suippes two attacks made to the west of the river came to naught under our fire.
