Some ,.f tlictn were available for use In the I main coauicrstroke. to be delivered by i.:e l-'rench Tenth army under Mangln. I The American First and Second dlvl I -.ions were hastily assembled to form I the American Third corps under (lonI eriil Milliard. Rut bis corps staff had I pot yet been fully organized and these divisions, by bis direction, under dlsI rretionar.v authority given by me, be I cmie a part of the French Twentieth I n.rps, coiumanded by General Berdou| Form Spearhead of Attack. This corps then was composed ?>f I these two divisions and the French I First Moroccan division, which had u I tine reputation, and was assigned to I the most Important position In the atI lack on the left center of the Tenth I army. The three divisions mentioned I had the honor of helng the spearhead I of the thrust against the vulnerable I flank of the salient. The line of ad| vance ran eastward over the comI mandlng tilateou Just south of Sols sons, and across the main rond lend Id; from that place to Clipteuu B Thierry. B The First had recently been relieved I from the Cantigny sector nnd was en route to a rest area. It was scattered I throughout the Dam martin area. Just I north of Meaux. when It received orI ders July 13 to move by truck to the front. After a hurried departure the I advance troops arrived at dawn the I 16th at the forest of Retz (or forest I of Villers-Cotterets) and during the I night the division moved to the front I of the forest. The night of July 17 It went forward over muddy and congestI ed roads, the columns of InfaDtry working their way to the front, where they arrived, in the nick of time. I The Second division was at Mont reull-aux-Lions in reserve of the First I corps, recuperating, when the order I came on the 14th to move by truck I toward the front. Dawn July 17 found I the Infantry and machine-gun eleI mcnts arriving at the forest of VlllersB Cotterets. The night of the 17th the B *?Vf>m(,wt toward the front, through forest, was made with extreme dlfjrclty.

'Though constantly confronted hy fresh enemy troops, this corps took the lend In the advance am) Its progress was most satisfactory. Hy noon It had captured half of the great plateau In its front, with many prisoners, and a little later forward elements reached the day's objective. The Second division encountered strong opposition at Vlerzy. In a determined effort launched after 0 p. m. the town was captured and a line over looking the valley of the ('rise was oc oupled. The First division had cur rled everything before it. capturing defended farm houses and other points where it met stiff resistance, finally tttking Missy-aux-ltols and holding a front line slightly beyond that town. The line ran diagonally across the | Paris Soissnns road. The attack of the corps was re sinned the.morning of July 10. hut dur Ing the night the German lines directly in front of Soissnns iiad been heavily reinforced wl'h machine guns and nr till fry. In their advance the French One Hundred Fifty third division and the First division met With much re sistance, tho Second brigade of the First encountering fire of tho enemy both from the front and the left flank. Tanks we're sent to its assistance and with close artillery support the division was enabled slowly to gain ground, hut at considerable cost. The Second division, with the re, serves of the tlrst day in' the load, forged ahead to the Soissons-Chateau Thierry road hut was compelled to withdraw to the vicinity of La Ita perle. It finally established a line Just west of Tlgny, with tho road under Its guns. The division was relieved by the French Fifty-eighth division the night of the 10th. having advanced six and one-half miles, captured fi.Ofki prisoners and seventy-five guns, and sustained about fi.OOO casualties. First Division Makes Advance. July 20 the First division continue Its advance doggedly against a des perute stand hy the Germans on the knoll in front of Berzay-le-Sec, The French had been ordered to take Berz.v-le-Sec, but failed. In the a'ter noon Summernll directed that it be as snulted by his Second brigade, but the attempt did not succeed that day. As fifstod by tho skillful use of artillery and with consummate dash, under ' Hrlg. Gen. B. B. Buck, in the face of Intense artillery and machine gun fire, the Second brigade captured the town on the 21*t. Meanwhile, the First brigade and the French Kighty-seventh division, which had relieved the Moroccans, had crossed the SoissonsChateau Thierry highway and reached the Chateau of Buzancy. The line now ran parallel to the CYlge, with Soissons commanded by our artillery. The First division, throughout four days of constant fighting, had advanced nearly seven miles, taken 3,.r?(X) prisoners nnd sixty-eight guns from seven different German divisions employed against It. and had about 7,20(1 casualties. The thrust of the Twentieth corp* was conducted with such magnificat dash and power that the enemy's position within the salient was rendered untenable. The dangerous charnetei of the threat caused the crown prince to begin n general withdrawal from the Marne. This operntlon snatched the initiative from the enemy almost - In an Instant nnd from that moment he was on the defensive. . Our First nnd Second divisions, with the Moroccan division between thein. had struck the decisive blow that (turoed the tide of the war. Petaln said It could not have been done without our divisions. , On the other side the German chancellor, Von llertllng. said later: ''We ..expected grave events In Paris for the end of July.

On the '20th with two battalions of the Fifty ninth in line, the advance was carried well to the east of Somniflans. The brigade was relieved from the front Hue July '21. Twenty-sixth Division Participates. Coincident wlllt, these advances on the 18th, the First corps (Liggett), serving with the French sixth army dl vision and composed of our Twentysixth division and the French One Hun dred Sixty-seventh division, also hecame a part of the movement. The Twenty-sixth division occupied the line It had taken over from the Second division July 10. The plan for the July IS offensive contemplated a deep penetration south of Solss'ons by the French Tenth army, supported on the right by the French Sixth army, extending the attack as far south as Bouresches. The Fifty-second brigade, Twenty sixth division, captured the villages of Torcy and Bellenu, and one hat tallon reached the base of the dotal tinting Hill 103. Elements of the brl gade reached the railroad, but severe flank f?re drove them to the starting point On the 10th the advance of the Twenty-sixth was contingent upon the I Fvccess of the French One Hundred Sixty-seventh division on Its left, hut rlint division failed to take Its objec ( lives and the Twenty-sixth did not at tack. On the 20th tlie One Hundred Sixty-seventh was held up again, ex posing the left of the division to heavy flank fire and preventing more than a slight gain. Farther to the right theTwenty-slxt' succeeded in taking O.onetrle farm, and got a foothold on Hill 100. Reach New German Line. When the attack began on the Cist it was found that the Germans lux* withdrawn the night before, and the Twenty-slxt 1) moved forward with little or no opposition until It readied the new German lines at I'llermitagt Fpteds-Mont St. Fere, east of the Sois sons-Chateau-Thierry highway.

The Sixth brigade waited for the bridge to tie completed at Me/.v and the morning of the 22nd one regl ttu'tit crossed the river and captured Jaulgorine. The Ciermans were con testing every step, and while the First battalion of this regiment reached he Channel it was compelled to retire by successive positions to Jnulgonne. On the 2(lth operations planned in co-operation with the French Thirtyninth and ttie American Forty-second <ui its left were only partly successful. The Forty-second captured the strong ly held Croix Rouge farm, hut the French Thirty-ninth division could not advance. The lending battalions ot the Fifth brigade entered he Channel, hut not being able to debouch from the town they were withdrawn aftei dark. During the night the hard pressed Germans retired to the Ourcq, leaving machine guns behind to delny our advance. July 27.the French Thirty-ninth division took up the pursuit, followed by the Fifty-fifth brigade, Twentyeighth division, which relieved the French Thirty-ninth that' night Ht Courmont. The Fifth brigade, Third division, advanced on the right to pro tect this movement and occupied a tine running southeast from Courmont through Vlllardelle. During the morn Ing of the 2Stth. the Fifth brigade captured Roncheres. and the Twentyeighth division reached the Ourcq, but was unable to hold Its gains north of the river. On the 21)th the Third division occupied an Irregular line beyond Roncheres, but neither that unit nor the Twenty-eighth division on Its left was able to make material progress against the Hois des Orimpettes that day. Third Division Relieved. The Third division was relieved by (lie Thirty-second on tho 30th and retired south of the Marne. Tt had taken a decisive part in stopping the last C.ermnn offensive and had advanced ten miles through difficult countr \. stubbornly defended bv the enemy. It bad suffered casualties to the numbet of about 6.000 officers and men. The Forty-second division, as we have seen, bad come from the French Fourth army to the Marne salient and had relieved the Twenty-sixth division in the First corps.
