With the American Army on the
Vesle, Monday, Aug 12.-CBy the
Associated Press. The Germans
directed counter actions against
the Franco-American line between
scissors and Rheims today, but
without bringing about any change
in the situation. Nor did the enc
my reveal any intention of an i'm
mediate attempt to recover any
portion Of the territory lost north
of the Marne
At no point was a hard blow de-
livered. The guns on either side,
however, were seldom silent, and
at many places, especially in the
neighbOrhOod of Fismette, north Of
Fismes, where the opposing lines
are close, the Germans repeatedly
searched the American positions
with machine gun fire
FOresee Hun Blow.
II is quite possible that the Ger
man crown Prince may-decide upon
a counter attack on a big scale in
that sector, but such action would
necessitate the bringing up of di-
visions, which presumably are bad
ly needed on the British front, and
at other points. 1t seems prOba-
Bile, he realizes, that any attempt
to wrest territory here from the
troops that have just taken it
would be extremely high priced.
On the other hand, the Germans
are now in such positions along
the line south of the Aisne, that
they can afford to take more time
for a retreat over that river, con-
fident that the allies will not ex-
tend themselves too much in an
effort here at this time.
Still Expect Foe Retreat.
The Germans are fighting fo-
time, but observers continue TO re
port Indications that their plans
still include a retirement. The
French and Americans, however,
have not ceased their pressure.

London, Aug. 13.-Heayy To-
cal fighting is reported as in
progress on the Fismette on
the north bank of the Vesle,
where the Franco-American
forces are holding the line.
The allies here were attacked
by the enemy and forced TO re-
tire to the south bank of the

cOrding to the latest reports,
the old positions OF the allies
