YANKEES FACE HAIL
OF STEEL INFLINCHINGLN
Force Crossing of River Under Hot
Fire and Drenching Rain, Repulsing
All German Counter Attacks.

Under an inferno Of shrapnel and I
machine gun fire and waves of gas the /
Americans forced their way over the
vesle river Tuesday night and early
Wednesday morning, while rain vary
ing at times from a drizzle to a down
pour drenched the battlefield.
French troops already have gained
positions on the American left and the
Joint movement has Strengthened out
the line from a point west of Bazoches
to Fismes
The Germans lost considerably in
casualties. Prisoners stories tended
to corroborate the opinion of those
previously taken that the Germans ex-
sect to continue their retreat until the
Aisne is reached.
The attack began between and .
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. By mid
night those on the right had reached
their objectives. the main highway east
and west extending along the foothills
that rise north of the river and be-
come a series of terraces TO the Aisne.
The left wing was delayed, but it
also reached the line shortly before
o'clock Wednesday morning.
The artillery on both sides are still
hghting duels and the Germans con-
tinue small arm resistance. But every
/ hour the positions of the French and
/ Americans are more secure.
Under cover OF a barrage the engi-
neers threw light bridges over the
stream. while the officers placed their
men in position. working them down
ward toward the bridges. The chal-
llenges were accepted by the German
artillery. and in a few minutes the in
termittent reports of the guns which
had been heard all day We're merged
into one great roar.
The clouds. which had lifted slight
ly. reappeared just before the attack
was launched and the action was con
Quoted without much advantage
observation by aircraft.
When the order for the advance
was given the men. for the most part
swept forward in open formation. The
Germans launched a counter attacF
without success.
The men on the American righ
fought their way along the choseI
routes. Some of them floundere'
, across the rough waters, while Others

Count Czernin, the Austro-H ungar-
ian foreign minister, according to .
dispatch from Vienna, has resigned.
Emperor Charles accepted the resig-
nation and entrusted Count Czernin
with the conduct Of foreign affairs I'M

recent publication by the French gov
eminent of the futile peace appeal
put out by Emperor Charles of Austro-
Hungary in March 1917, and the
efforts Of the emperor and the Aus.

explain this letter to the satisfaction
of Germany and the German emperor
probably were the most potent influ.
ences in bringing about the resigna-
ton of Count Czernin.
