Waves of Men Mown Down.

Paris. - The French lines north CT
Seicheprey, where the Germans inau-
gurated a heavy attack against
French and Americans, have been
completely re-established, according
to the war office announcement.
German forces which attacked the
American positions west of the Rem
ers forest, northwest of Tou1, came
across No Mans Land in three waves.
They had been especially trained for
this operation. The Americans, al
though greatly outnumbered, fought
for every inch of the way, giving
ground slowly and pouring deadly
machine gun, rifle and automatic fire
into the advancing enemy.
The German barrage began just be-
fore sunrise, after a heavy lombard
ment on the American front and rear
positions in the course of the night.
In an attempt to put the American
batteries out of action, the Germans
used an unusually large number of
gas shells, but the American artillery
replied vigorously, hurting hundreds
of shells across the Teuton lines.
A counter barrage set down by the
Americans caught the advancing Ger
mans and killed number of them
before they had opportunity TO reach
the American trenches.
The Germans reached the she'll
torn village of Seicheprey in the fore
noon but only remained a short time,
being driven out again by brilliant
counter attack made by the American
infantry. The commander of one unit
holding an outpost reported at one
stage of the attack that his men were
slowly giving ground, but they were
fighting every inch of the way
The text of the French statement
reads:
There was no infantry action, but
both artilleries were active at various
points on the Somme, the Ayre and
the Oslo, as well as on the right bank
of Meuse.
North of Seieheprey our line has
been entirely re-established.
'The enemy bombarded Rheims,
where several fires broke out
Eastern Theater.-On the left bank
of the Struma the enemy violently
bombarded villages which the British
and Greek troops had occupied. There
were artillery actions in the Dorian
sector and on the Vardar Near
Sborsko several Servian detachments
in driving back enemy advanced posts
caused a movement of Bulgarian re-
Inducements. which. caught under
the fire of our artillery, suffered ap-
preciable losses"
The day statement reads:
Artillery activity continued on the
left bank of the Avre River and also
between Montdidier and Noyan.
"A German raid north of Rheims
was repulsed.
1.-THE struggle continued throughout
the night in the region of Seicheprey.
French troops regained nearly all the
terrain which had been lost to the
Germans.
American troops fighting in this
region also repulsed a determined
German attack in the same sector.
Several raids were made by
French troops on the German posi-
lions in Lorraine and in the Vosges'
