The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-07-20

Officially it is declared that the
Franco-American troops have cap
tured in excess of 1000 prisoners
and more than 800 guns. Unofficial
reports in Paris are to the effect
that the captures are much IN eN-
cess of the official estimate. Much
material not yet enumerated and
many hundreds Of machine guns al
so have been taken.
Steady progress against increased
enemy resistance resulting in hight
ing of the hercest nature, attends
further attacks by the French and
American forces on the front be-
tween the Aisne and the Marine.
Around Scissors on the north the
German defense is stiftening and
the forward movement apparently
is much slower than on Thursday,
when the biggest gains of the day
were made there. In the center and
on the south, however the allied
line has been advanced about two
miles. making the average further
progress one and quarter miles.

General Mangin's advancing line,
which had a decided bulge south OF

an eight mile front astride the

the allies have advanced more than
two miles, capturing important
heights. Further south the gain
from arount Neuilly-St. Front to
west of Chateau Thierry was not as
great. but the Germans lost valuable
ground.
Berlin apparently believing that
the allied offensive is III great

nving that allies broke through It
admits that the German lines have
