Paris, July 31.-American troops
fighting north of the Ourcq river on
the Soissons-Rheims salient have en-
larged their brilliant victory of Mon
day at Sergy. where they cut to pieces
divisions of Germany's picked troops
and took and held the village against
counter attacks.
Notwithstanding continued heavy
opposition by guns, machine guns and
large numbers of the enemy, soldiers
from the middle western and eastern
states drove their line northward
from Sergy Tuesday for distance of
about two miles and were resting at
night on the slopes approaching the
woods beyond the town of Nesles
Where they stood at the last accounts
the Americans formed the apex of the
long line running across the salient.
While the bitter fighting was in
progress between the Americans and
Germans, the French on both sides of
the fighting front also moved forward
for goOdly gains northeast of Fere-en-
Tardenois and east of Sergy.
In the Nesles forest the Germans
are holding strong positions from
which they are Smelling, but thus far

The Germans apparently are on the
eve of attempting to end their retreat

turning and offering frontal battle in
force to the entente allied armies.
The day of rear guard actions seems
drawing to a close. Violent counter
offensive measures against their an
tagonists already are in progress by
the Germans over most of the battle
front.
Further gains have been made by
the allies only after the bitterest fight
