DESPERATE RESISTANCE K
 SLOWING ALLIED ADVANCE
n Belgium and France the Germans Are Striving to Prevent an Immediate Collapse of Their Defensive Positions, But on All Salient Positions They Are Being Gradually But Slowly Forced Back-The Liberation of Rumana Has Been Begun by the Entente Forces.

Between the Disc and Sierra rivers American naval gunners with sixteen inch guns have joined the French in their efforts to hammer their way northeastward toward Hirson, one of the key point positions on the German line. American shells from these guns are being hurled against both Yer wins and Rozoy. Further progress has been made by the French in this re- zion. but only after the hardest kind of fighting.
 Likewise on both sides of the Mouse river the Americans have advanced their line notwithstanding the strong resistance of the enemy. North of Grandpre, which lies in the valley above the famous Argonne forest, sew eral hills of the utmost importance from a strategic standpoint have been taken from the desperately resisting enemy machine gunners and artiller- ists Numerous violent counter-at- taclxs have been launched by the Ger mans against the Americans, but all these have been successfully sustain ed The Germans in this region now are badly outfanked by the French standing on the left of tho American line at Vouziers, and it is not unlikely that they soon will be compelled to readjust their entire line from the north of Vouziers to the region of Etain.
 The liberation of Rumania has been begun by Entente forces after a years occupation by the Germans. Crossing the northwestern portion of Bulgaria at Lom Palanka, southeast of the Iror Gates, French patrols have forced g passage of the Danube and entered upon Rumanian soil
