YANKEE TROOPS IN RUSH
CARRY ALL BEFORE THEM;
CAVALRY NOW IN ACTION
Troops Dash F0rUard
With Great FerUOr
BY Associated Press.

On The French front in France,
July lS.-When the allies attack
began at noon today the Germans
were surprised and offered slight
resistance in the advanced lines,
many Immediately throwing UP
their arms and shouting "kam-
erad."
The barrage fire preceded the
waves Of infantry but one of the
heaviest storms of this year
drowned the noise of the shells.
Most of the Germans had taken
shelter in the dugouts from the
deluge and the entente allied
troops were among them with
grenades and bayonets before
they had time to turn around.
Many prisoners are coming in.
The entente allied troops are
displaying the utmost fervor in
the attack, their desire being to
strike a strong blow in return for
the recent German assault.
1t is the first occasion this year
that the entente allies have coun-
ter attacked on such a big front.
Their operation directly affects
the position of the German west
ern flank and probably will cause
the German crown prince to hurry
some Of his reserves to the scene
OF the fighting from the Marne
and Champagne where yesterday
and today everything was quiet.

"These are the boys who will be
the. rulers of America in the next
generation" he said to me, the hrst
time I visited his school. The tu-
ture welfare of America depends upon
their fitness to rule and direct the
destinies of the nation"
The school was started in 19O| at
La Porte. An able young educator,
Patrick H. Riordan, was employed as
DR.. Rumley's chief assistant and the
institution grew and flourished. Many
wealthy men enrolled their sons as
students and the boys liked the school
and its methods. 1t was not long be-
fore it became necessary for the instl-
tuition to move into larger duartefs
and the, doctor purchased tract OF
several hundred acres of farm and
woodland surrounding a beautiful lit
tie lake near the village of Rolling
Prairie, few miles east of La Porte.
Here the construction of school build
ings on a huge scale by the boys
themselves was undertaken. Trees
were cut down in the forests sur
rounding the lake and great school
buildings, dormitories and other
structures built in rustic fashion out
Of the rough logs.

Huns Bring Reinforcements.

Huns Bring Reinforcements.
The enemy early began to bring III
strong reinforcements. Fresh troops
have appeared at various points and
heavy counter attack will probably
have to be withstood.
On the line south of Scissors the
American troops carried all their OBJ
jcctives in the second attacks with
the same energy as the first, ever
proceeding further than had been
expected.
The enemy was routed and for the
most part fed. before the American
advance, abandoning even light guns
and ammunition. Only here and
there along the line was strong re-
sistance offered and at these points
the Germans were attacked with rife
and bayonet, before which they re-
treated steadily.
So far has the attack progressed
that tonight, the enemy in the vicini-
ty of the Chateau Thierry is con-
sidered to be in somewhat danger
Gus position-one where he will have
to act quickly.
Americans Receive Thanks.
The American troops. including
those returning, bandaged, are in
high spirits. The Americans have
received warm expressions of thanks
from the French commanders.
The American troops up to noon
just south of scissors had captured
$500 prisoners. Fifty cannon had
been counted and thousands of ma
chine guns.
Northwest of Chateau Thierry the
Americans captured large numbers of
prisoners and an equally important
quantity of munitions and stores.
The captures south of scissors in
the way Of stores were immense and
included some airplanes which the
enemy was unable to remove. so
swiftly did the storming troops sweep
through. Many prisoners and many
guns still remain to be counted

Results Expeced To Be Valuable.
Notwithstanding this, the counter
attack was noteworthy for the reason
that the French accomplished great
deal more than was achieved by the
German drive on both siles of
Rheims. The length of the front
over which an advance was made was
practically the same, and the French
and Americans working together ad-
vanced in six hours virtually double
the distance covered by the Germans

Fismes are under direct observation
and fire from the new French posi-
tions on the Crise ravine. These two
are he only lines by which the Ger
mans in this salient between Scissors
and Rheims can be supplied. It is
possible, however, that the Germans
may have succeeded in connecting
up their lines i n another way.
The French counter is regarded
here as one of the most brilliant
pieces of work in the war, and it is
believed that the results will prove
extremely valuable, as the French
have obained fost important STRAIT
egic positions.
