FIGHT IN OPEN NINTH CAVALRY
 TAKING PART
Germans Driven From Trenches and Pursued by Mounted Troops - Americans Carry Everything Before Them.

With the American Army in France 1rlv 1S.-The American troops had carried all before them by late in the afternoon and had proceeded so fast that cavalry was thrown into action, All the American headquarters staffs toriqbt were well inside the territory which the Germans held this morning.
 The American troops up to noon inst south of Soissons had captured 3.30O prisoners. Fifty cannon had been counted and thousands of ma chine guns.
 Northwest of Chateau Thierry the Americans captured large numbers of prisoners and an equally important quantity of munitions and stores.
 The allies have reached, roughly, the line of Belleau, Courchamps, Chouy. Villers-Heron, Chaudon and the heights dominating Soissons.
 French cavalry has crossed beyond the Soissons- Chateau Thierry road to openings made by the Franco o-Ameri- can forces.
 The greatest progress made up to latest reports was about 10 kilo- meters, or little over six miles.
 After passing the third objectives set for the operations of the morning the Americans in cooperation with the French south of Soissons launched a second powerful attack at noon.
 Showing the effect of splendid rtaining, the American troops went forward swiftly and fought with fury. Nothing seemed to stop them, espec- ially in the region of Soissons and to the south of that city. Light and heavy pieces were moved up as the troops advanced and soon after each barrage ended, shells form the Amer ican guns were deluging the enemy's rear areas, playing havoc with both the forces in retreat and reserves en- deavoring to come up.
 It was open warfare with all the attending excitement, and through the gaps made by heavy guns and in- afntry the French cavalry dashed, beating down those in their path. Ter rlhc losses were inflicted on the enc my at all points. The tanks did all that was expected of them. The great numbering engines rolled along in front of the infantry, driving the

LIEUT.. ROOSEVELT
 MAY NOT BE DEAD
Companion Believes He Landed Unhurt and Is Now Prisoner General Pershing Cables Colonel.

New York, July lS.-Lieut. Quen- tin Roosevelt, reported missing after an aerial engagement over the Ger man lines, probably landed unhurt and is now a prisoney in the hands of the Germans, according to a cable message received tonight by his fa- ther, Colonel Roosevelt.
 Colonel Roosevelt said on his ar rival here tonight from Saratoga that he had just received from his son-in- law, Surgeon Major Richard Derby, who is now in Paris, a cablegram which reads:
 "Companion aviator confident Quen- tin landed unhurt."
 ''I have just received cable from my son-in-law, who went over with the marines and has been invalided to Paris for few days" sail the colonel After giving the text of the cable gram, he continued
 "Of course, We can't be sure yet that Quentin's companion was correct. However, if he was, it means Quen- tin is now prisoner"
 Before leaving the city for Sara toga to attend the Republican state convention today, Colonel Roosevelt received a cablegram from General Pershing, in which the American com mander expressed the hope that Lieu tenant Roosevelt may have landed safely.
 The cablegram read:
 Regret very much that your son. Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt, reported as missing. On July II, with patrol of 12 planes, he left on a mission of pro- tecting photography section. Enemy planes were sighted and attacker, after which enemy planes returned and our planes broke off combat, re- turning to their base. Lieutenant Roosevelt did not return. A member of the squadron reports seeing one of our planes fall out of the combat and into the clouds, and the French report an American plane was seen descending.
 q hope he may have landed safely Will advise you immediately on re- ceipt of further information"
 Colonel Roosevelt, in reply, cabled the following message:
 I've are deeply grateful for your thoughtful kindness and we will nev- CT forget it.'

ravine Crise running into Soissons on fve-mile front down to the east of Buzancy, which means a maximum advance at this point of five miles, according to news received tonight.
 The Americans operating in the region west of Soissons, the dispatch es add, have taken 4,000 prisoners, 30 guns and much other material which has not yet been estimated.
 An American division cooperating with the French troops in their coun- ter attack today have captured the town of Vierrzy, about six miles south of Soissons, and have advanced three miles beyond the town, the ad- vices said.
 Up to 1 o'clock this afternoon French troops had captured the heights overlooking Fontenoy on the extreme left and had progressed to Monte de Paris, within mile of the city of Sossons.
 The French are on the western out skirts of Couy and Neuilly St. Front and from there to Belleau wood the average depth of the advance is about three miles.
 East of Rheims the allies have cap- tured Prunay.

.FOCH'S DRIVE
 CONSIDERED A
 BIG SUCCESS
London Views the Situation as Being Very PrOmising-Re- suits in Sharp Contrast With Gains of Peace Offensive"

London, July 18.-The great coun- ter attack in which the French and American troops are participating be- tween the Aisne and the Marne has succeeded extremely well, according to the latest advices received here to- night, and the situation for many reasons is considered very promising
 Owing to the fact that there was no artillery preparation, the action was complete surprise for the boche, and the enemy artillery reac- tion was very weak. The French counter battery work was exceeding ly effective. Enemy aviators entered into the action and attempted to im- pede the advance, using their machine guns at low altitude.
 Despite this, the counter attack was noteworthy for the reason that the French offensive accomplished much more than was achieved by the German drive on both sides of Rheims. The length of the front over which an advance was made was practically the same and the French and Americans working together ad- vanced in six hours virtually double the distance covered by the Germans in three days.
 So far as is known, the junction line between Sossons and Oulcy-le- Chateau and Soissons and Fismes are under direct observation and fire from the new French positions on the Crise ravine. These two lines are the only lines by which the Germans in this salient between Soissons and Rheims can be supplied. It is pos sible the Germans have succeeded in connecting up their lines in another way.
 The French counter attack is re- garded here as one of the most bril- llanI pieces or WOTk III lne war, anu it is believed the results will prove extremely valuable as the French have obtained most important strate gic positions.
 In London the view is held that the advance has put an end to the Ger man offensive for the present and that Rheims can be considered com safe. The French have reached all their first objectives.
 South of the Marne much local is reported. The French have lost some ground, but are still within effective range of the German bridges across the river, though it is possible they may have lost direct Further to the east the allies have regained ground in many sectors, especially west of Massiges.
 French troops have gained the ]

Bars Paper from Office

Because of its hostile attitude to-
ward the state council of defense
notably since the Hearst suit against
that body came up, the Santa Fe
New Mexican has been barred from
the office of the organization at the
state capital. Charles Springer,
chairman of the executive committee,
announced this step last Saturday,
giving as a reason therefor that the
New Mexican is "hampering war
work efficiency by attacking the
state council of defense, which is a
branch of the war organization. "
The New Mexican has been very
critical of the acts of the defense
council and was entirely unable to
conceal its delight at the recent de-
cision against it in favor Of the
Hearst papers by Judge Neblet.
