WITH THE AMERICANS ON THE

swept the Germans back two miles on
nve-mile front northwest Of cha
tesu-Thierry yesterday and last night
were holding their gains in the face OF
determined German counter attacks
this morning.
With the aid OF French infantry, the
American Marines and machine gunners
were consolidating their positions all
along the new front.
In the region Of Lucy-Le-Locage (flve
miles west Of Chateau-Thierry) an
American position was being badly har-
rassed by a German machine gun. An
American patrol lcaped from the lines,
attacked the enemy position, killed The
entire crew and captured the gun.
Part Of the advance yesterday was
made across a wheat field. the Marines
alternately dropping IN The wheat, then
raising up and half crawling, half
walking into the face Of the field ma
chine gun fire.
The advance greatly improved the
Marines position. opening the way
through a wood on a hill which bad
given the enemy a dominating position.
Now the Germans are pushed complete

positions on the farther side having
full sweep with their machine guns
across an open field.
Most Of the prisoners who were

They had not had any rations for five
days. other German prisoners said the

Que company OF Marines, which was
nanked during the advance was entirely
surrounded. After lighting their way
to an advanced position, they had TO
fight their way out again. They poured
machine gun and rifle FIRE into the
Boches ripping through them to the
main body Of Americans.
