Today's War
Summary

Bitterly defending every barrier in
the enemy's, path. the French resist.
ance on the western side OF the Atsne
salient is increasing. Sunday appar-
emily was the poorest day the German
advance has had since the offensive
was renewed a week ago today.
Although able to push. back the
French line between scissors and
Noyon. the Germans have been un-
able to break it and. while continuing
their strong attacks here. are making
mos violent attempts from the lire
of the Marine to north Of the Ourcq.
The intention probably is to outfiank
the northern sector by forcing back
the sector south Of Scissors to west
of Eillers-Cotterets
Heavy fighting continued all day
Sunday east OF VillerS-Cotterets and
the forest of the same name cas- of
the town. Late Saturday the French
had retaken four towns in this region.
Under the enemy pressure the French
again were compelled to give up Fa-
verolles. about three miles southeast
OF VillerS-Cotterets.
Assuming the initiative west Of
N~euilly-S,- Front. the French recap
tured Passy-En-ValoiS southeast Of
Faverolles and Hill 1853. nearby. Ger

We're repulsed. Paris reports.
The Germans have not crossed the
Marine and apparently have not made
very strong efforts to do so. They now
hold a-greafer part of Chateau-Thier-
". with. the French maintaining a
.foo,-hold in the western section.
On h eastern wing. the Germans
who crossed the Dormans-Rheims

have been driven from Champlat.
Around Rheims the situation is I'M
changed. the Germans probably hop
ms that their advance from Vile
En-Ta-denois will out-flank the allied
troops in the Rheims sector.
In seren days the Germans have
driven a dangerous salient in the al
lied line and have met with some sue
cess in attempting to link the new
salient with the one driven toward
in March. In addition to their
other captures. the Germans took a
huge amount of Franco-American
stores al observation-disclosures, the
booty including 500. 900 artillery shells
much material and 1000 vehicles.
