With the Americans on the
Marine, July 17-S:44 a. M -
American troops, having thrown
the Germans back across the Marine
on their sector east of Chateau
Thierry, are aiding the French to
clear the enemy from the south
bank farther to the eastward. Co
operating with the French, the
Americans have partially cleared
Condo wood and have retaken Hill
231 and the village of Chappelle-
Monthodon. (Conde wood is south
of Courtemont and it's western
fringe evidently formed the Ameri
can right flank. Hill 231 and La
Chappelle Monthodon are a short
distance to the eastward of the
wood The Americans, operating
along entirely cleared the south
bank of the Marine in the region
from Mezy to Jaulgonne. "a front
of more tman two miles 1t now
develops that the Americans never
completely evacuated Mezy Con the
south bank of the river, FIVE miles
east and north Of Chateau Thier-
ry). One platoon hid in cellar as
the boches rushed in. AS the enc
my flowed past them in a seem
ingly never ending flood, this tiny
garrison held out, fighting desper-
ately and inficting great losses
The main force Of Americans fell
back slowly contesting every inch
of ground with the grey clad in
fantry. The little group in the
cellar fought on like an islet in a
rushing torrent. Then, when the
American counter attack drove the
Germans back upon the river, the
platoon-what remained of it
riddled the ranks of the retreating
boches with machine guns. There
was joyful reunion when the lit
tie garrison was again absorbed
into the American ranks. Two
companies of Americans $500 mem
in attempting to flank a large force
of retreating Germans, drove for
ward so rapidly that they were cut
off and surrounded in a wood.
Called upon to surrender, their
answer was a crashing voIley. Be-
fore the boches could recover from
the surprise, the doughboys rush
ed them with bayonets and cut
their way back to the American
lines, with surprisingly few casu-
alties. The Americans today re-
ceived the highest praise from the
French command for their excellent
work in the last two days fighting.

Paris, July IL "a p. m. The sit
uation in the Champagne is pro-
nounced excellent ," in the middle
of the afternoon. The enemy is gen
orally held everywhere. More hard
fighting is expected but the general
impression is that the German eff
fort will not continue long. The
Germans attacked the Americans
five times in succession at Prunay,
it was learned. The Americans
have accomplished marvels between
Chateau Thierry and Morreuil le
Port, thirteen miles distant. In the
region of Morreuil lie Port the Ger
mans were driven back three kilo-
meters from the Marine. Further
south the enemy CARED three kilo-
meters toward Epernay but the
German forces are still thirteen
kilometers from Epernay.

Washington, July II. Austro-
Hungarian Foreign Minister Bur
ian s peace chatter was drowned
out yesterday by the roar Of the
big guns. Officials paid no atten-
ton to it, considering it only more
Teuton propaganda and said that
it contained nothing Of interest to
America and her allies. America is
prepared to fight on for peace and
is in no mood to harken to Teuton
propaganda now, it was stated en-
phatically. Incidentally, British
cables told of troubles between Tur-
key and Bulgaria which are embar-
RAISING the central powers, and
perhaps, in measure, explain the
Austrian peace talk. The new Mali
nov ministry in Bulgaria has failed
to compose differences over Tur-
key, and there is growing suspicion
of Turkey s aims in Europe.

a whole, the new German drive is
costly failure so far, The battle is
continuing, but it consists only of
comparatively local operations
along the new fronts created by
the enemy s initial rush. Fighting
on these scattered sectors is vio-
lent, but latest reports indicate that
the allies are safely holding. De-
generation of the German effort
into series Of limited operations
proves the failure of the Ludendorff
style Of attack, which necessitates
an immediate advance Of at least
eight kilometers Give miles, to be
effective. Nowhere has such an
advance been accomplished. Even
the allied first positions have been
passed only with difficulty. The
Germans, baked in their original
intentions, are now seeking to pinch
off Rheims, while their right wing
is struggling to hold its meager
gains on the table lands south Of
the Marine. The enemy either must
continue his apparently hopeless
venture in the Champagne, or must
cease abruptly and begin imme-
date preparations for drive else
where. This loss of time is afford
ing the allies an advantage, of
which they are taking full meas
ure.

With the Americans on the
Marine, July 14-(Delayed by cen
sor) Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt is
missing today, following a running
fight with German airplane, west
of Chateau Thierry. -Four Ameri-
can airmen chased a squadron of
boche planes behind the enemy
lines. Roosevelt has not been heard
of since. 1t is not definitely known
whether he was shot down, or
forced down and taken prisoner.
If he were taken prisoner it is be-
lieved that German aviators would
have dropped o note announcing
his capture. One machine was seen
falling in flames during the battle,
but one of the American aviators
declared he believed it was one Of
the boches. No one definitely saw
Roosevelt fall, but he has been
given up as lost. The newspapers
say he was attacked Sunday by a
German squadron while returning
from a patrol flight on the Chateau
Thierry front. He suddenly lost
control of his machine, the reports
said, "having probably received
mortal wound. +" Roosevelt s ma
chine which was set on fire, fell
behind the German lines, in full
view of the American positions.
Quentin s cousin, Capt. Philip
Roosevelt, who was in the trench
es, saw the former fall, but did not
learn his identity until later.
