HUNS CRUClFY AMERICANS.
As 4 Result Sammies Are Shooting
Germans Down Like Rats

New York.-The crucifixion of two
American soldiers by the Germans Is
one of the main reasons why the Amer
lean soldiers in France are fighting so
hard, Herbert l.. Pratt, vice president
of the Standard OIL company, declared
upon his return to the United States
after organizing the Y. N. G. A. can
teens in France.
"That's the kind of an enemy our
boys are fighting and they are fight
ing him relentlessly," Mr.. Pratt de-
clared. "LiSe the Canadians, a num-
Der of whom were spiked to crosses
by the Huns, the Americans no longer
are bringing in prisoners In small
groups. They are shooting the Ger
mans down like rats"

ALLIES STILL STAND
FIRM ON THE MARINE
SOISSONS SALIENT AND OPEN
UP WAY TO PARIS.
Every Attempt to Cross Marne Has
Been Frustrated by Allied Forces,
Germans Suffering Heavy Losses
in Each Attack Made

London.-The Germans In their new
offensive are hammering the allied line
apparently with the hope Of crushing
in the Soissons salient and opening up
the way to Paris by way of the Marine
and the Disc. They are reported to be
using well on toward three-quarters
of Il million men in this effort.
Although the enemy occupies the
northern bank Of the Marne for Il
stretch of dozen miles east from the
vicinity Of Chateau Thierry, he seems
to have made no serious attempt to
force crossing, the only efforts in
this direction that have been reported
being made in small force. These
were vigorously repulsed by the
French.
Ready to Resist.
The main trend of the enemy effort
is westward, and with this purpose
seemingly fully developed General
Foch is disposing his. forces to resist
it. Already the French seem to be of
considerable strength In the path OF
the crown princes drive west Of the
Scissor road to Chateau Thierry.
The Germans at last reports had
succeeded in penetrating from two and
half to nearly four miles at points
west of this road. They were stopped
for the time being at least at Chau
Dun, three miles from the road, which
the French first lost and then retook In
desperate fighting, and likewise before
Chouy and Neuilly st. Front, to the
south.
Huns Forced Back.
But the strength of General Foch's
reserves has been felt by the German
crown prince in the "battle for
| Paris"
| Just below Scissors the crown
Princes troops were forced back on
the Crise river, which runs on north
and south line through that town. In
the engagements on this front several
hundred prisoners were taken by tn,
French and in the Soissons fighting
| especially the Germans suffered terri
fic punishment.

the latter town, which the Germans
are strongly threatening.
Rheims Still Safe.
Rheims, ON the left of the German
advance, Is still in allied hands, and
in general there is little apparent eff
fort on the part of the Germans t"
enlarge their salient in this direction
except at its narrow edge.
On Sunday the French troops in n

Front drove back the Germans and
also in an attack recaptured Hill 16s

official communication, issued Sunday

was recaptured and near Villeen-Tar

French troops.
