WAR AT A GLANCE
(By The Associated press.)


 salient driven into the allied lines by the Germans late in May, the Ameri- cans and French have won important ground mar Chateau Thierry. The at tack was local in character, but its success may prove important in the battle front nearest Paris. The assault was aimed at the ham let of NauX, which is situated on the south side of the Chateau Thierry- Paris road, and on the northern slopes Of Hill 204 Vaux is about two miles from Chateau Thierry.
 | This was carried by the rush of French and Americans, who also oc-- cupied two small patches of woods in the immediate vicinity. The Ger mans almost immediately began coun- ter attacks in an attempt to regain the lost positions, but their efforts failed in every instance. In the initial attack, and in their re peated assaults against the new lines held by the allies, the Germans hav5 9hAlIA0u fViS ItaN y lNHotNt dL 1GdoL 500 prisoners having been taken by the French and Americans. One ea- tire German regiment is officially re ported to have been virtually annihll- ated in the battle.
 1, A thrilling air battle between nine Iaeroplanes and an equal number oe German machines is reported in the Chateau Thierry sector. At least three German planes were destroyed, while two American machines have failed to return from the encounter. On June 7th the allies reported that they had recaptured Hill POI. a height dominating the city of Chateau ThlerIy. lt appears, however that the Germans have been holding at least part of the height, or that they have by an attack which has not been re- ported, succeeded in occupying the hill once more.
 The allied attack on the north side will tend to make the enemys posi- tion on the hill less secure and may force the Germans to relocate their line from the Marne northward to Torcy, where the Americans have been successful in several fights and have won importan. ground British forces northwest of Albert have been forced to fisht hard to hold positions they took from the Germans sunday night. A determined attack by the enemy at that point threatened 10 wrest the captured ground from tre British but heavy counter attacks flung the foe out of all but one of the trenches he had occupied
 The French front west Of the Disc and east of Rheims has been tho scene of considerable local lighting in which prisoners were taken by the allied forces.
 The French have reoccupied the yil- lage of St. Pierre Aigie, southwest of 1 Soissons, which they lost three weeks ago.
 The German official statement of operations along the front says that allied attacks at various points were lrepulsed. It specifically mentions the attack west of Chateau Thierry as be- Ing unsuccessful.
 Italian forces have been gaining inn i portant ground on the eastern side 0t the Asiago plateau, east of the Brenta river. Important Austrian positions have been carried dn nearly 600 prI7- oners captured by the Italians. Czecho- o-ISlovak troops fighting un- der the Italian flag, have taken part in the struggles of the last few days in the moutains
 There is no indication that the Ger man offensive is about to be renewed in spite of the fact that it is almost three weeks since the fighting north of Compeigne came to a stop. American, British and French forces, which have been landed at Kola on the Murmansk coast, to pro xect vast stores, transported there before the collapse of Russia, as a factor in the war, probably will be called upon to face serious attack | soon.
 Dispatches from Christiaua say that German and Finnish troops are pushing northward toward the coast. | -fl-
