sixty mite front ruuniiig from Molsson*
to Whelms tht Allied troop* me tightiug
with a determination that brook a uo de
nial of their efforts And the Germans
steadily are glviug grouud, though stub
bora resistance Is being offered ou noiue
hectors
Further goodly Mixed indentations have
been made la th? German Hue between
8oissonsA aud Chateau Thierry by the
American aud French troops and almost
all the gaius made by the German* tin
the receut drive south of the Marne and
iu the vicinity of Itheims have been
blotted out by the counter-attack* of
the Americana, French, British aud Ital
ians. Chateau Thierry, which repre
sents the polut iu the battle(llne where
the Germans had driven thVir. wedge
nearest to Paris, haw beeu recaptured
by the French troope and almost simul
taneously the village of Brasleg, two miles
eastward and the heights to the north
of the village fell into their hands.
Acting in harmony with the movement
on Cbateay Thierry, American and
French troops northwest of the city
struck' Ibe Germaus auother hard blow,
broke through the German lines aud
drove through at some points more than
three miles. Large numbers of prison
ers were takeu aud the machine guns
of the Allied troops literally mowed
down the Gerihaus who endeavored to
stay their progress^ To the north along
the Ourcq valley the French are making
good progress toward the important
junction towu of Nauteuil-Notre-I>ame,
while the operations south and south
east of 8#issons are keepiug time with
those along the other parts of the front.
The entire southern bank of the Marne
having been cleared of fcnemy forces,
French, British and Italian troops now
are harassing those southwest of lihelms
and they have been forced to fall back
in the Courtou wood, the Andre valley
and uear St. Euphraise, notwithstanding
their desperate resistance. The number
of British operating with the Allied
forces in this region is not known. The
first announcement that 'they were in
the actioa was made Saturday night aud
doubtless that they represent u portion
of the great reserves' that everywhere
are being brought up along the battjle
line in an endeavor to make secure the
victories already won and enlarge them.
With the capture of "Chateau-Thier
ry and the fast progress Of the French
and Americans eastward from the north
ern sectors, the plight of the Germans
in the southwestern portion of the Soin
sons-Rheims salient becomes increasing
ly hazardous, and ,it is not improbable
that when stock is finally taken large
numbers of prisoners and quantities of
guns and war stores will be found to
have been taken by the Allied troops.
Aviators continue of assistance to the.
troops of Gen. Foch, scouting th? back
areas and harassing the enemy with their
machine guns. Notable work has been
done by American Indians for Gen. Per
shing's men, the Aborigines taking a
prominent part in characteristic West
ern fashion id scoptlng iu the Maine
region.

I.ATKHT WAR SI MMAKV f>
Alllri Cunltnur to Gain Ground and Arc
Clonlni In In Army
(Thursday's Associated Pitk-v)
Violent German counter-attacks and
roar guard actions in grout strength Mill
fail to servo the Herman high c?untuaud
u- barrier* t<> tlje advance of the Al
lied troops on the Noissons-Rheims sal
ient.
True, tbey have aided somewhat in
slowing down the fast pace net hy the
Allies at the commencement of the of*
ftttllye. hut nevertheless on the three
side* of the. now U-shaped hattle front
further important gain* ht|ve been made.
Proving slowly. but surely, south of
Holssous the American and French troops
have pushed their front* furthor east
ward toward that part of the fcJoiSsons
Chateau Thierry railway lino that la
still in the hand* of the euemy, and fur
ther south, along both sides of the Ourek
river and the roads leading to Fero-eu
Tardenois, Germany's great storehouse
for the supply of her troop* lmve been
made until the maximum point where
the Allies are lighting near Ooincy Is
about ten and one-half mile* from their
point ot departure Thursday.
V In the Marue region north of Cha
teau-Thierry the Americans and French
have met with the liercest kind of re
sistance, ftir here the German machine
guns ami infantry are striving httrd to
stay their progress jn an endeavor to
extricate large numbers of the German
forces who are in daugcr of rapture,
and al*o to save part of the great num
ber of gun* and quantities of war ma
terials. which it is impossible to. get out
except by the high roads over ,tbe un
dulating and wooded country.
i The advantage ^>f the fighting, how
ever, has rested with the Allied troop*,,
who have pushed ou northward past
the village ,of Kpieds and ousted the'
j^orinaus from the greater part of the
;Chatelet forest. In this regiou the Al
lies now hold the village of Eplcds and
Trugny-Hpieds, which were captured by
the Germans and were recaptured Wed
nesday in a counter-attack by the Ameri
cans. Pressing on northward the Allies
have driven their frent beyond Courpoll,
, which Jies about six and a half miles
northeast of ^bateau Thierry. .
Along the, Marae at several points,
notably in the region of Charteves and
Jaulgonne and further east of Treloup,
the Allies have put the northern bank of
the Marne far behind them in advances
and captured a Urge number of cannon
and machine .guns and considerable war
materials.
In the region between the Marne and
Rheims, where the German Crown Prince
has brought forward large numbers of
picked reinforcements to stay the Brit
ish, French and Italiani, bis warriors
are meeting with hard usage. Following
up the advances of the French and Ital
ians of Tuesday the British immediate
ly to the southwest of Rheims apparent
ly have begun a movement which pos-;
sibly portends good results.
Here the British have ..overcome a
strong counter-attack, and, following it,
a* violent bombardment and struck the
Germau line at^Vrigny for a goodly gain.
This manoeuvre, if it is pressed to fur
ther advantage, will seriously menace
the Rheims-Fisraes railway, a scant
three miles to the. north and also will
tend materially to lessen the width of
the mouth of the flpeket through Which
the Germans are endeavoring to retreat
from the Soissons- Rheims salient.
Gauged by the war maps, the new
inroads of the Allied troops into the
Gcrmun-held territory necessarily adds
furthrr to the extreme gravity of the
situation of the Germans inside the huge
pocket and with the long range guns
on both sides of the U, heavily shelling
them fsr behind the actual fighting fronts
with airmen bombing them assidiously,
and with the infantry attacking tbem on
all sidos with rifle and light gun fire
| their situations seemingly is a hazard
ous one. (
