WITH AMERICAN ARMY on THE
AISNE- MARINE FRONT, / p. m. July
3O.-(By Associated Press)-Under a
fire from the enemy only slightly less
than that Of yesterday the Americans
on the front north Of the OurcQ held
on TO their positions this forenoon
and even advanced a little toward the
road from Feringes to Sergy. Repeat.
ed efforts by the enemy to dislOdge
the Americans were futile.
On the American left the French are
moving forward. To the right the
lines are holding steadily.
The hordes that we're brought in by
the Germans to attack the Americans
yesterday appeared today to have
been withdrawn by the German com.
mand.
The fighting is the heaviest the
Americans have experienced. Their
conduct is winning the praise Of the
French observers.
