Bulgaria's Detection
(Con+inued from PAGE Onel

In the face of steadily strengthen
ing German resistance, the American
forces in the Champagne continued
their advance, and their front now
includes the villages Of Charpen:ry'
Very. Epinenville and Iveryf They
threw back German counter attacks
with heavy losses to the enemy. The
prisoners captured by the Americans
alone now number 5000 and the
booty includes more than one hum
bred guns.
The official report Of Field Marshal
Haig showed that the Americans had
entered the fray in the st. Quentin
sector. They celebrated their entry
into the line at this point by captur-
ing out posts of the Hindenburg line
LeCatelt. The French troops east Of
Rheims were equally as successful as
the Americans with whom they CO.
operated. They have increased the
number of prisoners taken by the
present drive to more than 10000.
British troops in heavy force also
swept forward on a wide front in
continuation of their effort to drive
wedge into the German defenses at
Cambria and DouSi with the evident
intention of outfanking both these
buttresses Of the Hindenburg line.
