Associated Press War Summary)
 From drives on wide from the Ger man offensive in France has dete1iof- ated into isolated attacks along the area between Soissons and Chateau Thierry and eastward to the Marne in the general direction of Rheims. Altho in these attacks the enemy still is using large effectives and great numbers of guns, he is being held al- most everywhere from further pro- gress and on various sectors com- pelled to assume the defensive against vicious blows delivered by the American, French and British troops.
 Tanks Fight Like Veterans
 The Americans on the sectors where they are alone or brigaded with allied troops, everywhere are fight ing with spirit of abandon that places them rightly in the category of veterans Near the Neuilly wood, which lies northwest of Chateau Thierry and at the point where the drive has brought the enemy nearest to Paris, the Americans have beaten off a strong German attack, and on the Marne at Jaulgonne, some six miles northwest of Chateau Thierry, fighting shoulder to shoulder with the French they have aided in forcing the first contingent of the enemy to cross the Marne again to seek refuge on the northern bank of the stream. In this last engagement the Germans suffered severe casualties and also left 100 prisoners in the hands of the defenders of the lines.
 Huns Make Small Gains Between the Aisne and Ourcq the Germaas have captured Pernart, and to the south of that village the the Ourcq valley also they took the French have ceded little terrain.

The losses of the Germans near Perrant were ex- tremely heavy owing to the stubborn defense of the French
 There still is only moderate activ- ity along the line held by the British in Flanders and Picardy, where pat rol activities and bombing continue. On the Amiens front the Germans are heavily bombarding British posi- tions.
 Allied Council Confident Full confidence in the outcome of the war again has been expressed by the supreme war council of the allies, which has just gone over the entire ] situation resulting from the big Ger man offensive. Altho it was stated that the allied nations "may be still exposed to critical days" The report of the council says that the aid of American troops will make it impos- sible for the enemy to gain victory bv wearing out the allied reserve be- fore he has exhausted him own. More U-BOat Attacks Additional attacks on shipping by German submarines off the Atlantic coast have been reported. A majority of the persons aboard vessels sunk by underwater craft have reached shore, but sixteen from the steamer Carolina perished during storm while in motor boat of the vessel Sunday night.
