With the French Armies in the
Field, July 6. (U. P.) The German
crown prince's Tuesday night attack
on a front of 12 miles between Jouy
and Caronne was Germany's greatest
offensive action on the western front
this year. Headquarters reports, as
sembled today giving data of attack
ing regiments and losses, gave proof
to this belief of -French commanders
today.
Notwithstanding the force of this
attack, the French checked it so com
pletely that the French commanding
general was able personally to remain
in the first line trenches ' during th
battle. The Germans did not capture
a single foot of French positions.
Moreover their losses were stagger
ing. After fighting all night Tuesday,
the French' troops on Wednesday re
ceived their chief commander's order
announcing the arrival of American
troops in Paris and ordering the
