GERMAN ATTACKS With the American Army on the Vesle Front. in attempting to dis lodge the French and American from positions north of the Vesle river on both ldes of FlHiuea, the German launched repeated counterattacks, without success. There waa desperate fighting In the region of Flamctte, where the German attarv were re pulsed by the American, who were clinging to the outskirts of the village. In the region of Daxochc the Ger mane made aeverat vlclou attack, but the alllea lucceufully fought them Off. The American! took a few prisoner at Klsmette a a reiult of band to hand encounter. After a second German night attack the American retaliated and penetrated the German line a abort distance. They reached one of the enemy' firm aid field Million and took prisoner aeveral wounded Ger mane. The Americana then returned to their semi-circular position at Kis met te and resisted all attempt of the enemy to dislodge them. BRIEF NEWS OF THE WAR Marshal Foch followed up hi suc cesafut countor attack on the Solsions Rhelm salient by an offensive on the Plcardy front, where the Germans made their great gain laat March. The bulge In the allied lines In Pl cardy melted away before the com bined onslaught of the British, French, Auetrallans, Canadians and Americana and the Indications are that the Ger mans will not only lose all they gain ed In their offensive In March but j may be forced hack to the old Hlnden- ourg une. The al!fed forces Jorged ahead so rapidly in Plcardy that the German retreat almost reached the proportions of a rout In place. The whole bot tom of the aaltent flattened out In two day' fighting. The French captured the important town of Montdldler Important German lines of com munication have been cut , Oothers are under bombardment by artillery and airplane. The enemy retirement within the lallent Is reported to be greatly congested and great numbers of men and huge quantities of material are being cut off. The number of prisoners captured during the first three days of the of fensive is very large. It Is hinted at Paris that It exceeds by far the figure given out in the official statement. Two divisional headquarters, with tholr staffs, are anid to have been taken. The guns and war materials lost by the enemy constitute a very heavy loss. The tanks, armored cars and caval ry worked throughout the entire re gion, while airplanes spared far he hind the lines, bombing transport and troop movements and also paying par ticular attention to the bridges over the Bom me, by which the enemy is endeavoring to escape. All behind the line the Germans are destroying am munition depots as they quit their positions. There has been little fighting of great mement on the Vesle river, ex cept In the nature of reciprocal artil lery duels. The Americans have made another orosslng of the Vesle and cap tured the village of FUmette, north west of Flsmes. Submarine Sinks Nlns Fishing Boats. Nantucket, Mass.
