east bank OF the oise river south Of
Noyou have evacuated the Carlepont
wood and the Germans are closely
pressing thcm southwark, according to
the German Official communication
wednesday. The communication also
asserts that the territory on the oppo-
site side OF the river, near where the
Matz enters the stream, mas poem
cleared Of allied troops.
Nowhere else along the battle trout
running from Montdidier to the region
around Noyon is any claim made to
further advances by the Germans. On
the contrary, she latest communication
shows that the enemy everywhere has
been busny engaged in attempts to
hold back the French and other allied
troops. among them some Americans.
No mention Is made in the Berlin
communication Of the allies having
advanced their front east Of Merry and
the aeults wood or Of the repulse Of
violent German attacks along the
Aronde river and at the LoSes farm
ard Ar.hsut.. Heither Is there aay
mention of the fact that the enemy,
Notwithstanding his numerous at
tempss, has been unable to debouch
south Of the Matz river.
The Berlin Communication asserts
hat all the counter-attacks OF the
:,llied forces have been repulsed and
that they suffered heavy casualties. It
Is declared that the number OF pr1s-
oners taken by General Won Hutier's
army hns now risen to moro than
$4,000.
It had been admitted that the posi-
tion Of the defending line on the west
bank Of the Disc river was q delicate
one, owing to the capture by the Ger
mans Of the outdankng hills to the
west, and a successful drive through
the Carlcpont wood on the opposite
stdo of the stream seemingly would
have necessitated strategic retreat
II the troops were not to be entirely
cut of.
South Of the Asne rivez there has
been fierce fighting down to the region
Of vil1ers-Cotterets, where the Ger
mans are attempting to break through
and bring their line west Of SCISSORS
toward Compiegne. Except that tho
combats were particularly severe On
the front Of Do1nn,iers, cutry and
south Of Amoleny, no further details
are available.
In the other war theatres there
have been no noteworthy activities.
TWO italian torpedo boats have car
rted out successfully a daring raid

EXPERIENCES Of
THE FRENCH AS
TOLD IN LETTER
To ]. n. MERRILL

Mr.. and Mrs. j. N. Merrill have
received another interesting letter
from a friend of their sons III France,
which they have kindly allowed the
Telegram to use, and which follows:
"Over Here" July 80, 1918.
Dear Madam and Dear Sir:
Your very interesting letters ar
rived yesterday and the day before.
am glad to see that my letters reach
you O. K, but unhappily cannot say
the same thing of those | sent to
Ralph. Most probably he does not get
them, and If he WITHSTAND l am sure
he does-I don't get his.
have not received your papers yet,
but they never come as quickly let
tiers; yours only take about 20 or %
days to come.
These are the famous "Ninette and
Rintintin," with their newborn baby,
"Radadon Do you know the tale?
There are many stores about it but
the most popular one is told by q
song. During an "alert" in Paris,
Ninette was walking in the street with
her friend, or rather sweetheart, Rim
