REAL COUNTER
AGAINST ENEMY
To COME LATER
America to Figure at the Fore
in Expelling Foe From
France and Belgium

WASHINGTON, Jaly 1s.-War De-
partment officials expect the real coun-
ter-offensivo agninst tho Germans to
be launched later in the present year.
This was disclosed :oGay to members
Of the house military committee by
General March, chief OF staff, who inti-
Gated that the employment Of possibly
eight American divisions in the present
double battle on the Atsne-Marne-
Rheims front would not affect ma
tertally plcns to harl overwhelming
man-Powez into the great struggle to
come whcE the effort TO beat tho en-
emy back off French and Belgian SOL
begins.
It wGE made plain that the smashing
attack OF Franco-Amer:can forces on
the Asne-Marne line Is AS yet regarded
rs only 4 minor operation in compari-
son TO what is to come. Tile SUCCESS
Of the drive launched yesterday by Gen.
eral Foch, however. has already been
startling.
ofncial reports from Paris tonight
said 1900 prisoners and EGO guns had
been captured. The !'erltn statement
admitted French advances, but ignored
American participation, and Claimed
10000 prisoners had been taken by the
Germans in their drive launched last
Monday Apparently the enemy conf
mnnders dare not admit TO the German
people that American armies are already
tghting over long front and scoring
repeated successes over veteran German
divisions.
Reports late in the day from Lon
don and Paris indicated that further ad-
vanccs had been made by the Franco
American forces during tho day. oflcial
advices from General PershicE led to
the hope that Solssons. nearly ten lnile5
