WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
ON THE AISNE-MARNE FRONT.
July "a (Evening).-The fighting
to-day was not characterized by any
great artillery activity, although
the heavy guns continued to drop
shells on the retreating enemy and
served to some extent to disorganize
his movements.
1t was radically different yester-
day, when the Americans fought
three times for possession of Epieds,
the Germans countering every time
and stubbornly contesting every
movement made by the Franco
Americans on that part of the line
Immediately north of Chateau
Thierry. The Americans passed
Epieds to-day with comparatively
little resistance. The French, on
their part of the line, also found the
enemy willing to move.
Hot rear-guard actions are con-
tinuing. The losses among the Ger
