The big offensive which the Germans
launched curly lust week ulong a 65-
mtle front east and wist of Kticlmu
from Chateau-Thierry to eastern Cham
pagne was halted by the uiikd arnih a
and the whole German lino In the
great Alsne-Murne-Uheluig salient was
badly shaken by a powerful counter
offensive of the Franco-American
troops.
The French and American counter
attack, which wus started without tho
usual preliminary artillery bombard
ment, took the Germans completely by
surprise and is regarded as one of
the most brilliant pieces of work In
the war. Striking over a 30-mlle front
from Fontenoy, Just north of tho
Aisne, to the sector of Chateau-Thierry
the Americans and French were able
to advance their lines to a depth of
10 miles In some places before the Ger
mans recovered from tholr surprise
and offered effective rcslotance. So
fast did the advance progress that the
allied troops were soon astride several
of the Important roads of supply for
the Gtjman armies, particularly the
line running from Solssons to Chateau
Thierry. The number of prisoners
taken Is reported to be very large and
a great number of guns and a large
quantity of war material fell Into the
'hands of the allies.
Over the entire 60-mlIe front run
Inlng from SoIbhoiis to Hhelms the al
lied troops are fighting with a dnter
Imlnatlon that brooks no denial. Prac
tically all the gains of the German
j drive south of the Mai ne have been
j blotted out.
I Chateau Thierry, which represents
the point In the battle line where the
( Germans had driven their wodgo ncar
; est to Paris, has been recaptured by
the French.
The entire southern bank of the
Marue having been cleared of enemy
j forces, French, British and Italian
! troops are now harassing those south
j west of Rltolms and the latter have
been forced to fall back.
U-BOAT OPERATES
OFF GAPE COD
Four - Badges Are Sunk and
Tug Is Burned By Ger
man Raider.
Orleans, Mass. A shell from a Ger
mun subniurlne lauded Sunday within
100 yards of the shore here. This took
place In the course of a one-sided fight
between a gluut U-boat and a tug and
Its tow of four burgis.
The submarine attacked tho tug
Perth Amboy of the Lehigh Vulley rail
road, and her four barges throe miles
off this town on the southeastern el
bow of Cape Cod.
The out' nidi (I battle lasted an hour
and a half. The tug was burned to
the water's edge by shell fire. The
barges wore sunk by gun fire,
Of the 41 persons, Including three
women and five children, on board,
three men were wounded.
All accounts agreed that the subma
rine's shouting was very bad. Her
torpedo work was no better. She
launched three torpedoes at the tug
and all went wild.
The attack was made only a few
miles from the naval aviation station
at Chatham. Three seaplanes attacked
the raider with bombs. The fire was
returned but the U-boat submerged
and was last scon heading south.
