GERMAN ATTACKS
With the American Army on the

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.

mane. The Americana then returned to

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.

schooners were sunk off George's

scout boat which put in here reported.
