to the Franco-Italian advance in AL

Americans RepuIse Strong Attack
BY Germans Around Vaux,
Driving Thru Two Miles.
TEUTONS DIVERT DRIVE
Offensive Has Changed From General
to Local Operatons-Enemy
Holds 14-Mle Line on Marine,
Five Miles Deep.

London, July 1S-American and
French troops, counterattacking on a
four-mile front south of Dormans, have
swept the Germans back 5000 yards
(nearly two miles,, bringing the
enemy bridges across the river under
artillery fire, it was learned from an
authoritative source.
Held in Check.
On the French Front in France, July
18.-Forty-e hours have sufficed
for the holding of the German masses
launched in the crown princes great
offensive. The enemy units which
were turned back from the direction
Of Paris and are endeavoring to ascend
the Marne are being held in check by
the French troops.
The position of the German columns
which had gained a footing on the
south bank of the Marne has become
perilous, while to the east of Rheims
the German efforts to advance have
each time been foiled.
Comparatively slight progress has
been made by the enemy on the west
breach in the line was not realized
The Allied methods of defense proved
wonderfully efiicacious everywhere, re-
sulting in maintaining the armies in
tact.
Paris, July 1S-The situation in the
Champagne is authoritatively pro-
nounced excellent" The enemy Is
generally held everywhere, 1t was said.
More hard fighting is expected, but
the general impression is that the
German effort will not continue long
The Germans attacked the Ameri.
cans at Prunay five times unsuccess-
fully. (Prunay lis seven miles south
east of Rheims. This is the first init
nation that Americans are fighting in
that sector. The original American
sector east of Rheims is near Main de
Massiges)
The German offensive, according to
the views of Allied observers, no long
er has the character of a general at
tack. 1t already, they declare, has
worked itself into, series of COM
paratively local operations.
The success of at least one of these
operations, however, would amount to
considerable achievement for the
Germans, however much it might fall
short of their original designs.
Reports from the battlefield show
that the Germans made progress In
two sectors of the front South of the
Marne they attacked the positions on
the heights commanding the river
crossings taken by the French and
Americans in their counter offensive
Tuesday. The French reached two
farms north of St. Agnan and La
Chapelle Monthodon, but there they
encountered fresh enemy troops who
appear to have again forced them
back.
BattIesin Woods.
The battle Is continuing in the
slopes and in the woods south of the
heights.
Further east the Germans seem to
have made little or no progress In
their attempt to debouch from the
Bouquigny wood and through the vii
lage of Nesles.
Near the Marne the Germans appar-
emily took some ground southwest of
Venteuil near Monvoisin, but a coun-
terattack by the French elected them
from this locality.
North of the Marne the turning
movement against Rheims becomes
quite apparent.

With the American Army on the
Marne, July 1s.-A corporal who par.
ticipated in the fighting at one point
where the Germans crossed the Marne

blazed its way out, leaving many Ger

on the field.
