Special 51tit Olds, Wortman & Kin tsjdendorff's Elaborate Plans Frustrated by General Gou k rand's Clever Tactics. Reliable Merchandise Reliable Methods ENEMY LOSSES ARE GREAT THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1918. 55s JLeTl : T Assaulting Troops Are Caught in Murderous Fire From French Guns American Troops Are Highly Praised. Special Dispatch to New York World, pub lished by arrangement.) PARIS, July 18. In the presence of its organizer, who, with the Kaiser and General Ludendorff, watched it from the heights overlooking Rhelma, Gen eral Hindenburg's "f reidensturm" and fifth offensive) has developed Into a fiasco. The famous German "genius" had sprain given the command of the "last peace offensive" to his imperial mas ter's son, who this time, however, found the allies ready for him. Elabo rate plans had been made and Luden dorff had determined to carry out these for eight miles on the first day, but the furthest point he reached is only two miles from the original starting lines. In other offensives the assaulting troops had succeeded in carrying out Ludendorffs plans, for in May one di vision alone advanced eight miles the first day, while another reached a point 18 miles from its trenches. To day this fifth general offensive has completely broken down. j: 10,000 Hons In Front Llae. It was against the French right wing Jn Champagne that the enemy expected his first success, which, had it devel oped, might have enabled the attacking troops on either side of Bheims to progress. As it is, he has failed, con sequently the other parts of the line re main stabilized. In Champagne, Ludendorff and the frenerals under his command. Von Einem and Von Mudra, massed 15 di visions (210,000 men) in the front line, 10 of them reserves, which faced Gen eral Gouraud's Poilus. The attack was to have served on two axles, one in a northerly direction by Souain, the other northwesterly by Prunay. By a clever elastic maneuver Gouraud frus trated these attacks, the Germans suc ceeding only in reaching Prunay, where, aftec heavy sanguinary fighting and suffering and terrific losses, they were able to hold the almost completely demolished village. ' Enemy Caught in Murderous Fire. Gouraud's tactics were to have the ifront line positions thinly held and constitute powerful defensive ones in the rear. The Germans easily carried the first line and had to continue the attempt to reach Gouraud's main forces. Before getting anywhere near these, however, the assaulting troops were caught in a murderous enfilading fire from the French rifles and machine guns. Unable to reach the main de fensive organization, the enemy hfcd to beat a hasty retreat to the original French front line, where he was, again ehelled by French field and heavy guns. The ground round about was found to be covered with German dead, while hundreds of attackers, exhausted and unable to retire, willingly gave them selves up. It was these divisions which had been ordered to take Chalons on the second day. Even now they are eighteen miles away from the big town on the Marne. "Old Glory" In Action. Ludendorff can record but slight ad-x-antage against the French left on the JIarne. He succeeded in crossing the rixer and establishing a bridge head. The ground in this region, however, is of - less strategical importance. The way the attack and subsequent advance was to be effected made the Germans almost turn their backs on the main objective of these last two offensives Paris. By so doing their flank was exposed to the Franco-American fire, while the Americans, who won't allow "Old Glory" to retire, charged the enemy and drove them back, inflicting terrible losses and cap tured more than 600 of Ludendorff's best troops. The French commander in the Marne region speaks in glowing terms or the Americans counter attack and the way the men used their ma chine guns which took such deadly toll or tne Held gray.
