man Activity Before Blow
Was Delivered
By the United Press

London. July II
One OF the chief causes in the lack
of success of the Germans fifth and the
most ambitious drive this year is the
great Improvement in the Allied intelli-
gence work since the previous enemy
effort. This is due largely to our stead
lily growing aerial superiority, which
which renders even partial. surprise at
this time impossible.
Not only was the general locality but
almost the exact frontage of the pros
pective attack long known, enabling the
most effective counter-preparations
among which was the massng OF suffi-
cient reserves without denuding the lines
to the north.
In these preparations. the extent of
the American participation cannot now
be entirely revealed.
Even If the present offensive is merely
checked, instead of definitely held. 1t
must so far be considered an inglorious
defeat. inasmuch as despite the lengthiest
and most elaborate preparations, none
of the German objectives has been
achieved.
The net result has been only isolated
penetrations on comparatively lightly
held front positions. without even dent
ing the main battleline-and this at
the heaviest cost.
The early supposition that this drive
was probably side show now seems
erroneous. British and French military
authorities generally agree that devel-
opments show the German concentra-
ton on both sides of Rheims was too
great to allow effective operations any
where else until later

elsewhere. But they know what they
did east of Chateau.Thierry.
Men who have seen fighting
throughout the war say there never
was anything like the artillery prep.
aration of the enemy for this great.
est drive yet made. Areas one or two
or three miles back of the lines have
been so often heavily shelled before
that such a story would not be worth
telling. But this time the German
shelled the front lines and he shelled
the back lines. He shelled five, ten
twenty. thirty miles back.
All through yesterday morning
shells fell in the Meaux district. thirty
miles away from the front. The same
performance was repeated all along
the front.
This is taken as an indication tina,
the Germans have perfected a new
! long.range cannon. which. while not
of the range of the gun which has
bombarded Paris. is still of greater
range than the other guns they have
hitherto used.

OF Rheims is nearer Mainde Massiges)
The Americans have accomplished

Chateau-Thierry).
In the region of Mareuil-le- Port the
Germans have been driven back three
kilometers Zone and three-quarters miles)
from the Marne. Further southwark
the enemy gained three kilometers toward
Epernay fourteen miles south of
Rheims and twenty-five miles east of
Chateau-Thierry). But he is still thir.
teen kilometers from Epernay.
Between the Marne and Rheims the
Franco Italian army has repulsed all
attempts, while between Rheims and
Main de -Massiges. despite the loss of
Prunay. the enemy has advanced only
three kilometers in three days.
Battles proceeded simultaneousl,
on the right and left banks OF the
river. The German line of advance
appears to be Venteuil on the northern
bank and Oeuilly on the southern.
Position Confused
The position is somewhat confused
and 1t is difficult to tell where the
opposing columns are.
The Germans desire by this move.

Then on the following days it was

Now. instead of being on the line.

After making an insignificant gain in
the Prunay sector the Germans tried to

Amidst the battle smoke rolling up

On the French Front in France

vi the TEencn 'front.' IN France,
July II.
The Germans have crossed the
Marine at various places, giving them
control of over twelve miles of the
southern bank of the stream be-
tween Gland and Mareuil-le-Port.
This operation cost them dearly,
five brigades being destroyed as the
troops were passing over, while hun
dreds of their men are believed to
have met death from the machine
guns and bombs of aviators.
The town of Gland lies about two
end a half miles east of Chateau
Thierry and Mareuil-le-Port. about
nine and half miles northwest of
Epernay.
French Fight Valiantly
Having met defeat in every effort
to advance east of Rheims, the Ger
mans turned their attention toward
pushing the advantage they had
gained west of that city. Strong
columns which crossed the Marne
tried dto ascend the river on both
banks toward Epernay. Their power
full dashes were met steadily by the
French, who contested every foot of
ground.

HICKORY TREES PLANTED
IN THE CAPITOL GROUNDS
Vice President Marshall and Senator
Salisbury Make Addition Each
to Famous Collection.

Vice President Marshall and Senator
Salisbury of Delaware, president pro
TEN. of the Senate, today joined a long
list of famous men who have planted
sturdy oaks. elms ana hickory trees in
the Capitol grounds.
Included in this list are George
Washington. Thomas Jefferson. the late
Vice President Sherman, the late Sena-
tor Bacon of Georgia and Speaker
Clark.
Both the Vice President and Senator
Salisbury off1ciated at the planting of
hickory trees in the northeast part of
the Capitol grounds. Tho tree planted
by the Vice President came fresh from
the banks of the Wabash, Indiana, near
where the Vice President was born.
That planted by Senator Salisbury
came from Sussex county, Del.
AS the Vice President took up the
spade and faced the small crowd of
photographers and motion picture men
who were on hand to make a per-
manent record Of the tree planting, he
said with q smile: well. boys, never
worked on farm, but worked on q
section once"
For several months the plans for the
tree planting have been under way,
but not until today was it possible to
get tho trees and the weather desired.
