the morale of the German army and of

that the United States is prepared to

with general SATISFACTION in France,

powerful German counter attacks

machine guns were taken.

The offensive movements OF the
Gersnaus between Montd1dter and NO
yon, and from south Of the otse river
to tho eastern fringe OF tho forest Of
viuers-cottercts apparently are on tho
wane. IN the former region the herce
resistance Of the French and the allied
forces, for tho time being at least, has
checked the enemy at all points, and
on some sectors, the allies have even
turned vigorously upon tho 3oe and
forced him to cede ground he has
gained.
Only one attempt, apparently, Was
made by the enemy Thursday to better
his positions near Montdid1er. Hero
he launched a violent counter-attack
from Corrcelles to the north OF Merry
q front Of about mile and = half
but was badly cut MP by the nre OF
tie allied guns and forced to retreat,
leaving numerous dead and wounded
on tho fold.
Likewise, south Of the Aisne, the
invaders arc meeting with unexpected
opposition aad, notwithstanding tho
large numbers OF men they have
thrown into tho battle, their gains
have been relatively small. East Of
scissors they penetrated to the VII
lage Of Laversine but were unable to
advance on any Of the other sectors,
although at one time, north Of Courcy,
French trenches were entered under
the force Of tho impact. A counter
attack resulted In these trenches be-
ing reeaptured almost Immediately.
The solo result Of the snemy's At
tack on the Mcntd4dtsr-Eoyon line up
to ths present is that he has by the
violence OF 'htS ast1Cfs- essr OF the
Disc and the forced retreat Of tho
French from the region wcst OF the
stream, blotted out tho awkward Noy-
on salient and brought tbs battle
front moro into direct alignment with
that beginning at the Asne. And
terrible price has been paid BY tho
Germans for this notification OF tho
line. Whether they are prepared TO
again offer huge sacrifices in bending
back the other salient from tho A1sne
TO Villers-Cotterets and bring the Pt-
cardy and Asne batt1ehelds into .
more continuous front, remains to be
seen.
In addition to the large number OF
prisoners taken by the allied forces,
ten cannon, four being heavy weapons
and large number of machine guns
have fallen Into their hands. Tho
German war oYtce admits the loss Of
sorne German guns, but asserts that

prisoners.
