French. British and American
armies. Extreme severity marks
the fighting on greater portion of
the front. Goodly gains are being
made by the French and Amer
leans between the Ourcq and the

Huns Prepare Blow!
Steadily as allied pressure has
forced the Germans back, within
the pocket formed by the battle
lines, the Germans defensive eff
forts have increased in ferocity due
to the continuous throwing in of re
serve divisions. The allied often
sIve, therefore, in one week not
only has brought the fifth German
offensive to a hasty halt, but has
turned it into d disastrous repulse
and also forced the enemy TO bring
in reserve troops from other fronts.

Close In On Supply Base.
From the west along the 0urCQ
and from the south the French and
Americans are closing in on Fcre-
en-TaTdCnOis, the German base of

violent shell fire for several days
and the enemy has made vicious
counter attacks, which, although
successful temporarily, finally
were turned into advances for the
hard hitting French and Amer
leans. Not only has Epied been re-
taken but the Americans have ad-
vanced beyond COurhoil, five miles
south of Fere. Between Courhoil
and the Marine the French and
Americans are fighting their way
forward through the forests OF
Fere and RIs. BTidgeheads along
the Marine have been extended

British troops around the important
point OF NTigny, three miles south
OF the NeSle and the Reiss- Scissors

threatens the German lines west of
Reims but places the enemy forces
