The American artillery, acting with
the French, smashed into the enemy
and tonight the lighter field pieces
were firing point blank from an open
field on the plateau.
The prisoners taken were from one
Of the Jaeger divisions. They were
from a detachment that was cut off
and enhladed by the advancing
Americans and Surrendered. The
prisoners included two officers.
In the action the Americans cap
tured 92 prisoners, although they
played comparatively minor part on
front of about two kilometers with
French troops on either side, 1t was
the first time that American forces
lad been used north Of the Aisne.
With the American forces on the
Ncsle, Aug. 28.--Fighting between
American troops and German forces
continued all night in the region Of
Bazoches, to the east OF Fismes.
Early this morning the Americans Sc
cured a foothold on the eastern out
skirts of the town.
Some German snipers and machine
gunners are stubbornly clinging to
the northern edge of Bazoches, using
cellars and the walls OF houses for
protection.
American and French big guns are
pounding away at the enemy and the
Germans have been unable to bring
up reinforcements.
Hand-to- Hand Fighting.
While the American troops gained
ground in the vicinity of Bazoches,
German forces, after fighting which
lasted all night, gained hold upon
Fismette. There were numerous hand
to-handi encounters in the town.
German machine gunners who had
dug into the hills in line with the
streets of Fismette endeavored to
shoot down the Americans when they
were driven from the houses by Ger
man artillery and the bombs of enc
my aviators. American patrols are
now fighting for possession of Fis-
mette.
Enemy Regains Fismette.
With the American Army on the
Eesle, Aug. %, 9 p. m.-The Ameri-
cans have Increased their. hold on
the Bazoches region, but the Ger
mans have recaptured Fisnette, ac-
cording to the latest report.
The lines on both sectors. are
wavering from time to time.
The Americans are determined not
to give ground in the Bazoches re-
gion, and the Germans are stubbornly
clinging to Fismette.
U. S. Losses Heavy, Berlin Reports.
Berlin, via London, Aug. 28.-In the
operations in the Vesle sector the
Germans claim to have inflicted severe
losses on the Americans and taken
more than $50 prisoners. This claim
efs set forth in the statement from
general headquarters today.
The German official communication
issued tonight claims the repulse of
allied attacks on various sectors of
the fighting front.
Omaha daily bee., 1918-08-29

The Germans counter-attacked but
with the exception OF a small part Of
one wing the American line held
steady. Where it gave way, about 800
meters, the withdrawal was due to the
necessity of Strengthening the line.
Action Carefully Planned.
The fighting, which for the most
part involved the artillery, continued
throughout the day and was still
going on tonight.
The early action of the Americans
was part of plan carefully made and
carefully carried out. 1t was pre-
ceded by artillery preparation and the
infantry advanced under a vigorous
barrage.
The Americans moved northward
over the brow of the long plateau-a
part of that plateau separating the
Aisne and the Ves1e further to the
east and the possession Of which
would make difficult the tenure of the
positions by the Germans.
Enemy Infantry Retreats.
There was little infantry resistance
by the Germans, who are cfinging
to their recently adopted tactics Of
