GERMANS ATTACK
WITHOUT RESULTS
WEST OF RHEIMS

With the American Army on the
yesle Front. Aug. 3.-(By the Associat-
ed Press Three vicious but unsuccess-
ful thrusts were made last night and
today by the Germans against the line
west OF Rheims. The net result was a
smart repulse by the French against
whom the most determined attack was
made, and the conclusion Of the north
ern suburb Of Fismes in the American
line, in addition to about 100 prisoners.
Throughout the night and day the OBJ
erations in the SoissonsRheims sector
were characterized mostly by artillery
FIRE, in which the -ermans shifted then
icng-range guns from time 10 time tu
reach villages and roads which they
themselves traversed week ago. Cloud
mess continued TO interfere with aerial
operations. although both sides were
buster than during the past few days.
Two German planes were brought down
by the Americans.
The occupation OF the northern sub
urb. separated from Fismes by tho
Fesle took place after a terrible artil-
lery hombar dment which was begun
reduced when the order 70 advance was
given today. 1t was there the hundred
prisoners were taken.
TIE Americans rushed over the
river, leaping, running and crawling
across on the debris of Il heavy
bridge which was blown up by the
Germans, its piers available. In the
village rather weak resistance was
encountered. The German force
which had been left there had been
unable to retreat to their own lines
because of the heavy artillery fire
and VIXEN brought into the American
lines the majority were wounded. A
great many Of the defending force
were killed.
Another incident showing how the
German soldiers were sacrificed oc.
Cured On the American front, where
a German lieutenant led party Of
less than thirty men in a thrust
against what probably appeared tc
be n weak point Of the line. a ma.
chine gun section caught the party
under its fire and annihilated il. The
only general action today was wher
the French and American laid dowr
a box harrage and carried out a re.
cOnnaiSance on certain sector Of
the front. There was some belief
that the Germans had withdraw
from a large part of this position
and it was desired TO learn if the
enemy was still there. he was.
