June 1O.-Attacks by the Germans in
the Marne sector have again been re-
pulsed by the Americans, who inflicted
heavy losses on the enemy.
The French repulsed two attacks
against Hill 2O4, west Of Chateau
Thierry, the first at 10 o'clock at night,
and the second at 3 o'clock In the
morning. French troops captured a
wood south of Buzziares.
A new German division, the Fifth
Grenadier guards, was identified by
the Americans for the first time.
The artillery fire on the Toul front
has slightly diminished in the past
"a hours. There has been little aerial
activity.
U. S. Troops SheIIed.
While the Americans in the Mont
didier region were subjected to
heavy bOmbardment, no infantry at
tack against them developed during
the first phase of the new battle.
The Americans are waiting and
ready for whatever may happen. They
will resist to the utmost any onslaught
against the front they are defending.
After fight made red by the crash
ing guns, it was expected that the
schOck might come at daylight. but
apparently the Germans spread shells
over a considerably wider front than
that attacked by the infantry.
To Decorate Marne Heroes,
It is understood the entire Ameri-
can force participating in the second
battle Of the Marne will be decorated
by the French government.
Except for lively machine gun fir
ing in the Boise De Belleau and In
