IGEN. GOURAUD
BARRED GERMANS

With the French forces in France,
! July 17-(By the Associated Press)
General Gouraud, the hero of the
Dardinalles, was the French COM
mander who barred the advance Of
the German Crown Prince in the
Champagne. 1t was he who, to the
/; east of Rheims in one day brought
the host of Germans to a standstill
About twenty enemy divisions
have been identified III the first line
Of this sector Of the front alone. BY
the end of the first day of fighting
half of these divisions had been bad
ly mauled. The precaution the
French had taken before the Teuton
offensive began was such that the
Germans were unable to capture a
single prisoner in the Champagne
during the several days preceding
the attack. The Germans thus were
deprived of the possibility of OBJ
tanning information regarding the
French plans.
When the German artillery pre-
paration started on the night of the
Fourteenth the flashes from thous-
ands of guns were SO vivid that they
lighted up the streets of Chalons.

French replied with an equally pow

miles trembled until dawn, when the
German infantry came over.

gagged in violent fighting with the

Daily it becomes increasingly ap-
parent that the strategy OF the Ger
man high command in the present
battle has foremost in its considera-
ton in plotting out of the Rheims sa-
lient and the Strengthening of the
line eastward through Champagne
towards Verdun. The hardest fight
ing of Tuesday was southwest Of
Rheims where the enemy is endeav-
oring to break through the hill and
forest region, reach the railroad run
ming from Rheims to Epernay and
force the evacuation of Rheims.
In these endeavors the German war
office asserts the Germans have driv-
en- back the allied troops in the
mountain of Rheims between Mante-
nal and North of Pourcy, the last
named place being a scant five miles
distant from the Rheims Epernav
railway.
The French official communica-
ton adds that the Germans held the
line west of Nanteuil La Fosse, about
a mile and a half south Of Pourcy and
relatively five miles west Of the rail
road.

oners since the present offensive be-
gan.
it is reported that FseRch reserves
have entered the fighting line along
the Marine and that to the north Of
Lachapelle Monthodon they have re-
captured lost territory.
The Germans also. as was expect
ed. have brought up fresh forces in
an endeavor to push forward their
project in this region. There is
veritable deluge of shells from the
guns on both sides along the entire
Marine front.
On the British front in Northern
France, and Flanders the Germans
are keeping up violent ombardnents
on various sectors, using both guns
and high explosive shells. Gas has
been used extensively on the Villers-
Bretonneux sector, where the British
for several days have been delivering
successful patrol attacks and taking
prisoners. The Albert sector is COM
ing for an increased shower of shells
OF all kinds. Nowhere. however, has
