Yet it is announced that the Ship

At the same time British ships arc ly-

British Ships
Waiting for Carsoes
With ships going to the bottom by
the submarine route, the Allies never
theless contrive to dispatch to our
ports q sufficient tonnage to move
large bodies of our troops and the
necessary foodstut1s for themselves,
and then are compelled to keep un-
laden vessels waiting day after day
for the cargoes that are reposing In
numbered yards because OF railway
congestion that is largely the result Of
our lack of orderly control Of the very

Bling in order to assist the Allies.

ample sustenance. There is no articu-
lation of marine and land transport
and no harmonious direction of either.
At the recent internally conference
in Paris the United States pledged the
Allies 100000 tons of foodstuffs a
month.
We have fallen down miserably, not
because we have not the material, but
because We are not making effective use
of our railways or our ships and by
the same token are paralyzing tho eff

The Articulation
OF Disorder
The Shipping Board is talking about
articulating our marine transport SER
vice with that of the Allies, which is
highly desirable and important, but as
things stand now it is proposal to
articulate disorder to order.
The Allies have in one control the
direction of their imports from Amer
ica from factory to army, and that con-
troll is the British Ministry of Ship
ping. What we need is one absolute,
supreme control of our exports from
source to destination.
The Shipping Board, nine months too
late, is now starting q control Of its
own, and Mr.Adoo is starting one of his
own.
The next step will likely be the Gre
alton of another board to connect the
two.

FRENCH STUBBORVLY
 HOLD HUN ADVANCE

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, July 16.-(By The Assoc- ated Press)-Having met defeat in every effort to advance today east of Reims, the Germans turned their at tention toward pushing the advantage they had gained west of that city
 Strong columns which crossed the Marne tried throughout the day to as
 cend the river on both banks toward Epernay. Their powerful dashes were met steadily by the French who con tested every foot of ground.
 Battles proceeded simultaneously on
 the right and left banks of the river The German. line of advance appears to be Nenteuil on the northern bank and Oeuilly on the southern. The posi- tion is somewhat confused tonight and it is difficult to tell where the oppos-
 ing columns are.
 The Germans desire by this move ment evidently to turn the strong po-
 sition formed by the forest and noun tain of Reims from the south. as an effort at a frontal attack would prob ably lead to disaster The general i'm
 pression tonight is that the position
 is favorable for the allies, whose tenac- l ity and preparedness unquestionably | surprised the Germans, upsetting theil plans for a rapid initial success.

CROSSING OF MARINE
 COSTLY OPERATION
 FUR GERMAN TROOPS

ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN FRANCE, July 16.-CBy the Associated Press)-The Germans have crossed the Marne at various places, giving them control over twelve miles of the south ern bank of the stream between the Gland and Mareuil- Port.
 This operation cost them dearly, five bridges being destroyed as their troops were passing over, while hundreds of 1 their men are believed to have met death from the machine guns and bombs of aviators.
 The town of Gland lies about 21a miles east of Chateau Thierry ana Mareuile -le- Port, about nine miles northeast of Epernay.
 Many Prisoners Captured. | The battle lulled throughout the night, after extremely lively actions to 1 the south of the Marne. French and American troops came back in the most vigorous manner against the Ger mans who crossed the river. In the course of numerous. counter attacks they made large captures of prisoners in the neighborhood of Dormans, the Americans outdoing their French con- rades in this respect.
 The maximum German efforts ap- pear to have been thrown against the western portion of the battlefield where the enemy made immense en- deavors to advance as far as possible south of the Marne toward Montmirail which it was his intention to reach 1T the course of the first days fighting.
 The Franco American resistance hnt tA1 executing this plan. The strength of their effort is shown by the fact that they engaged fourteen divisions-ap- approximately 170,000 men-in the first line in this part of the battle field.
 Compelled to Fight.
 Behind these were probably fourteen additional division, some of which ow- ing to the losses sustained by the mer in the front line. were compelled t, take part in the fighting.
 On the eastern side of Reims whert the Germans met such a severe checl lyesterday they also had about four teen divisions in the front line with similar number in reserve. In conse quence of the nature of the fightin: there the Germans suffered terribl and their troops were obliged to hal for the purpose of recognizing.
 Enemy activity to the east of Reim was quite pronounced this morning the heavy artillery being very busy. l appeared as though the Germans wer preparing to renew the battle for Cha Ions, which. according to prisoners. was his intention to capture todd, Some of the finest divisions of tn German army have been engaged i the battle, those identified includn the Prussian and Bavarian guard Sax ons, Silesians and Wurttembergers.

OFFICIAL STATEMENTS
FRENCH

PARIS, July 16.-The war office announces the recapture of St. Agnan and La Chapelle Montho- don today and the advance of the Franco American lines to heigths dominating the Marne valley at various points.
 Desperate fighting is reported in several sectors of the new bat tie front particularly south of the Marne where ground was given only foot by foot, when the allied line was obliged to bend back.
 The statement says:
 To-day the Germans, who have not been able to resume their gen eraI attack, broken by us yester day, made violent efforts to in crease their local successes. Both in the morning and afternoon the battle was particularly desperate south of the Marne. Enemy forces attempted to ascend the river. Our troops retarded the advance of the enemy, defending the ground foot by foot; they have maintained their positions on the line of OeuiI- leuvrigny.
  tackled the enemy on the front of St. Aenan La ChapeIIe Month odon. Our troops captured these two places and carried their line on to the heights which dominate the Marne valley in the region of Bourdonnoye and ClosmiIon.
 Between the Marne and Reims the Franco Italian troops repuIsed several enemy attempts to con- serve their positions.
 East of Reinns the Germans this morning began again violent artillery preparations followed by attacks on several points of the front. A powerful effort in the di- rection of Beaumont Sur-Vesle failed to debouch from Prunay. In the sector of Suippes two attacks made to the west of the river came to naught under our fire.
 "The struggle was not less spir tied in the regions north of Cros nes and east of Tahure, where the enemy also attacked. Everywhere his efforts were vain and his as- saulting troops were repulsed with heavy losses.
 "it is confirmed from orders found on prisoners that the attacI on the Champagne front was car red out by fifteen divisions on thu first line. with ten supporting divi sions. The object was to realiz, anaadvance of p kiIometers ths first day and reach the Marne or the center and on the right"

ON THE FRENCH FRONT, July 16. |-Prisoners taken in counter attacks by the French have been very low spir- ited on account of their losses. A bat talion commander captured inveighed against the regular officers of the Ger man army. He declared that they sent reserve officers, like himself, forward, while they remained in the rear. If any of the officers complained, he ad- ded. the regular officers formed courts martial and meted out stern punish

 The morale of the last prisoners taken is excessively low, in fact lower than any captured in recent months.

CRISIS OF B|G OFFENSIVE NUT

 Fighting Is Still in Pro gress with Varying Results

WASHINGTON. July 16.-The war department tonight received informa- ton from the American military at tache at Paris of heavy losses sustained by the German assaulting armies to the west and east of Reims and of the fail ure of the enemy to make substantial progress against the allied resistance during the last A hours. No late cable dispatches had been received from either General Pershing or General Bliss.
 The crisis of the new German offen- sive in France is still to be reached, in the opinion of high officials here While the first rush of the enemy apparently met with a decided check reports from the front tonight showed that bitter fighting was still in progress with vary ing results.
 Say Situation is Satisfactory Advices from General Pershing and i General Bliss covering yesterdays oper- ations prompted a statement from the war department today that the stua- ton was regarded as satisfactory by 1 the American commanders. On the comparatively limited part of the battle front held by the Americans between Chateau Thierry and the Jaul- gonne region, tonight's advices indi- | cated that the enemy had been busted from a majority of the points where his initial drive had made headWHy across the river

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1
 PARIS, July 16.-(Havas Agency) About 20 enemy divisions were engaged in the fighting between Reims and Chateau Thierry and the same number between Reims and Massignes. Other divisions were in reserve and ready to enter the battle.
 All the divisions have been den- tified as representing the elite of the German army, showing that Germany on Monday delivered an extremely powerful effort. All suffered heavily.
 Prisoners say their officers as sured them they would have an easy victory. asserting they would be opposed by troops in no great numbers and who were completely demoralized.
 Never before were the enemy losses so high. Piles of bodies cover the ground. The fighting of the Americans and Italians was extremely brilliant.
 In the region of Prunay the heavy attacks of the enemy were repuIsed outright. The German losses at that point are estimated as 65 per cent of the effectives engaged.
