French Repulse Counters

French Repulse Counters
 The French, attacking southwest of Soissons, on the Aisne front, had the same object in view. They hurled themselves at the German line with such gallantry that in little over an hour they penetrated to a depth of more than a mile over a front of almost three miles and captured more than 1000 prisoners. German counter attacks against the new French po- sitions have been repulsed with heavy losses to the enemy.
 British Get High Ground
 The British, on the Lys salient of the Flanders front, cut into the Ger man lines Thursday and succeeded in showing the enemy from his posi- tions on several little ridges of land to lower levels
 There is reason for believing that | preparations are now nearly complete for resumption of the German drive Just where the blow will fall is not known. The blow is expected tC eclipse the ferocity of the attack. before Cambrai and the Aisne. Al epidemic of influenza in the German army is reported and this, together with the prevalence of typhoid, dysen- tery and other diseases, may deIa1 the onset for time.
 Great Defensive Triumph
 A week ago the Austrians began their flight across the Piave rive from the western bank where the, had received a sanguinary check a the hands of the Italians. It is pos sible now to view the event in it true perspective and estimate tn victory of the Italians as a grea defensive triumph. General Diaz. tn Italian commander in chief. has no pursued the Austrians further tha the Piave, except for the setting u of strong bridgesheads on the easter banks of the river
 Danger of New Attack
 There is still danger of anothe attack being launched against Ital this time from the mountain iron and with German forces leading thei allies in their attempt to force thei path down into the Italian plain For this reason, apparently. Geners Diaz is content to hold the Play strongly and to wait, for the momer at least, any further attacks agains his vital mountain positions.

Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, June 29-The safe arrival in Italy of the first contingent of military forces which will represent the United States was announced to- day by General March. chief of staff. Sent direct from this country, the troops landed yesterday to supplement others ordered from France by General Pershing.
 Mostly Special Units
 Sanitary units compose the greater part of the first arrivals but other special units also were included. Gen. eral March reiterated the statement that the bulk of the combatant Amer ican troops going to Italy will be sent from the western front, their places being immediately taken by new reg iments from the United States. Future is Uncertain
 No definite plan for the increase of this force from the United States has been reached" Secretary Baker said later in commenting upon the an- nouncement. Tt should be emphasized that the shipment of further incre- ments depends largely upon future de- velopments."
 Five Divisions Returned l Material increase during the past week in the forces under General Per shing was indicated by the official an- nouncement that five American divis- ions, which had been brigaded with | the British for training. have been re- turned to the American army.
 More Than Hold Own
 While the actions along the Ameri- can sectors during the week have been entirely local in character, the chief of staff said the results have shown that American troops are more than holding their own and fine examples os indi- vidual valor have been reported.
 Situation Favorable
 Viewing the military situation as a whole, General March was of the opin- ion that the situation is extremely fav- orable to the allies. He said the Aus trian defeat was extremely valuable both from a military and psychological sense.
 Statement Promised
 General March had not received off cial reports of the British and French successes on Friday and, therefore withheld comment. He also refrainet from announcing the total number O men shipped from American embarka. tion ports to date. but intimated that { statement might be made later in tht , coming week.
