War News.

With the American Army on the
Marine, July 18th. by the Associa-
ted Press) AT one point on the
front OF the offensive, where the
American troops are fighting, they
organized small counter attack
late yesterday on the flank OF a sa-
lient established by the Germans
and drove them out in short order,
but in hot fighting.
The American troops in this Sec
ton occupied intermediate posi-
tons on the rear of the first
lines. The Germans were al
lowed to come through. but when
they tried to cross the open fields
up slight grade the American ma
chine gunners, occupying excellent
positions, moved down the advanc-
ing ranks, the enemy breaking and
retiring at many places.
This operation was conducted on
portion of the front to the east OF
Rheims.
The German prisoners captured
in yesterdays counter attack by the
Americans at the bend on the Marine,
number between 1000 ond 800.
They include a complete brigade
staff.
The fighting continued late yes
terday with fierce intensity in this
district, while the battle ragged with
equal ferocity on the right, where
the French were reported to have
delivered a smashing blow against
the enemy's front, this section of
the battle front it appeared that the
German offensive, at least for the
present, has been badly shattered.
The Americans now command the
river front at the bend. AT the left
of the bend the famous German
Tenth division has made repeated
attempts all day to cross, but all
assaults have been smashed by the
splendidly directed fire of the Amer
lean gunners, and not single Ger
man had succeeded in getting over
at this point up to 8 O'Clock last
night.
A strong American counter-attack
south of the river bend yesterday
completely upset the Germans, who
who broke in retreat. The Ameri-
can troops drove the enemy back
all the way to the railway skirting
the Marine in the region southwest
of Jauegonne. This position now is
being held.
In the counter-attack many prison
ers were taken. They included a
major, two captains and 400 men,
so far counted.
The French general commanding
the group of armies on this sector
sent congratulatory message yes
terday afternoon to the American
general commanding the forces
which beat back the enemy.
At 5 O'Clock last evening the Ger
mans were heavily Smelling the
American forces, but were getting
shell for shell in return, and their
fire seemed to be diminishing.
Quiet Near Vaux.
The Vaux district was compare
lively calm last night. On the
Americans right heavy fighting was
in progress.
American machine gunners along
the river assisted materially in break
ing up the early boche plans, for
they stuck to their posts and poured
deadly streams of bullets into the
enemy, and only withdrew when
their guns were so hot they could
not be fired. One group of machine
gunners happened to be in place
where the Germans were anxious to
erect bridge, but their efforts were
fruitless. The American bullets pill
ed up the German dead on the op-
posite side of the river every Tins
the enemy started to cross.

Washington, d. c.
The ten million imprisoned people
in occupied Belgium ard France are
facing shame, suffer:-.v. dis sase and
some of them death for lack of cloth

! hope that the Red Cross win under

come from US. Your first campaign
yielded magnificent results, bringing

condition. But much more is needed
Il these war-ravaged people are to get
through the winter in decency and
safety. In the face of brutal coercion
and spiritual feeling they remain
spiendidiy courageous. This courage
challenges our charity. Let US match
The courage Of Belgium BY the gene

British Press Dissatisfied at Way Food Situation
 Is Being Handled Now

London, January 20.-Increasing at tention is being given by the newspa- pers to food troubles and popular inn patience with what is regarded widely as avoidable privations. The Times to- day prominently calls attention to "the persistence of the unequal dis tribution of food
 It refers to numerous protests and to the demands for rationing which are finding an outlet in some instances in outbreaks of disorder.
 Numerous paragraphs appear in the newspapers recording demonstrations. unsatisfactory distribution, shortages, prosecution for hoarding and allega- tions of profiteering.
 The labor correspondent of the Times says that it is evident that situation is imminent which will tax the food department to the uttermost. He says there is no occa sion for disorderliness. but a need of complete frankness and prompt action. The writer restates the view of the workers alarm that wealthy people are getting all the sup- plies they require, while the poor stand for hours exposed to the weather and then often get nothing.
 The workers also are convinced that an artificial scarcity has been created by the farmers, dealers and the specu- lators. The unrest, the writer continues, will be allayed only when the food con- troller convinces the average work man that curtailment is unavoidable.
