AMERICANS WHIP
B0CHE TO FINISH
EVEN THE HUN PRISONERS
ADMIT THAT DRIVE WAS
VERY SKILLFUL ONE.
(By The Associated Press. }

With the British Army in France,
July 6-Along the whole British
front today the main topic OF con-
versation was the remarkable sue
cess achieved in Thursdays attacks
south of the Somme by the com
bined Australian and American
troops, assisted by feet of English
manned tanks.
Even the German prisoners admit
ruefully that the drive had been con-
Quoted with cleverness and invinc-
ible courage. To this praise was
added a telegram from Field Mar
shal Haig to the forces involved, in
cluding the American detachment,
expressing his warm congratulations
on the victory which attended the
attack and the skill and gallantry
with which il was executed.
The Australians and Americans
today were holding their newly won
positions strongly after having re-
pulsed 4 series of three counter
attacks during the might've each
on a flank and the third on the
center.
These enemy assaults were thrown
back easily. and still more prisoners
were added to the large number
taken yesterday, while many OF the
hostile infantry perished in the at
tempts to regain that which they
had lost.

WAR SUMMARY
(By The Associated Press

Successful allied thrusts in local
actions have not yet drawn from
the enemy a resumption Of strong
enemy movements, but there is little
doubt that there is another German
blow in the making. For the mo-
ment, at least, lull has come in in
tantry activity on the western front.
Germany's offensive. begun on
March Il, is not completed. and the
Germans have yet TO win a strate-
gically vital point. Another strong
effort, probably greater than any
this year, has been awaited by the
allies for several weeks. General
Foch has employed the past week or
more successfully by improving his
positions at various points along the
main front. American, British and
French troops helping in taking val
liable ground and more than 5000
prisoners from the enemy.
Except north of Albert, where the
Germans gained some ground, the
enemy has not been successful in
attempted counter attacks. In sew
eral instances no effort was made to
dislodge the allies from their gains
along the Somme north Of the river
and between the Aisne and Marne.
Australian and American forces
hold strongly to the recent gains
south of the Somme and the French
are improving the ground recently
taken north of the Aisne. The
strongest enemy artillery FIRE is be-
ing directed against other sectors
than these, namely. southwest of
Ypres and south OF the Aisne.
The French probably will CON
tinue TO harass the enemy in minor
operations, but the belief is held by
some military observers that Foch
might surprise the German COM
mand by striking in force at a vital
point. His manpower is increasing
and his artillery and aerial forces
predominant over the same service
Of the enemy.
During the past week British air
men alone have accounted for lo5
German machines. while 81 of their
own failed to return.
Another American transport has
been sunk by a German submarine
while returning from Europe. The
vessel, the Covington. remained
afoat for several hours. and only six |
men are missing. The Covington /,
was former German steamship and |
5000 tons.

ALLIES ARE READY
FOR HUN ATTACK
PREPARATIONS TO MEET
COMING ASSAULT DIS
CUSSED BY MARCH.

Washington, July 6.-Prepara-
tions are now being made by the
group of the allies on the western
front to meet another heavy German
assault, General March, chief of
staff, told newspaper correspondents
today at his weekly conference.
AS to the part of the United States
in the war, General March had
nothing to announce except that the
first million men having been en-
barked for France, movement Of the
second million men is being pressed.
The situation along the western
front, he said, has developed into
continual 'nibbling' by allied forces
with complete success being OBJ
tanned. The most important Of
these minor raids from the Ameri-
can standpoint was the attack on
Vaux, July |.
The attack on Vaux was carried
out by the Ninth and Twenty-third
infantry, supported by the Twelfth,
Fifteenth and Seventeenth field ar
tillery, all of the Second division,
under command of Maj. Gen. Omar
Bundy. The success attained there
has been completely consolidated,
subsequent counter-attacks by the
Germans failing to cause the slight
est withdrawal from the territory
occupied.
On' the Italian front, the general
said, the situation has come down
to the complete occupation by the
Italians of the southern bank of the
Piave River, except for one very
small sector. The point still held
by the AuStrians is three and one
half by one and one-half miles,
while the general Italian advance
was over a nine-milc front.
