Enlisted Men NEW f ORDER IN FORCE WAR SUMMARY (By Jk Aaaociated Preaa) Violent German counter-attacks and rear-guard actions of great strength still fail to serve as bar riers to the advance on the Solssons Rheims salient. ' Ther have a'.ded In slowing down the wast pace, but on the three sides of the U-shaped battle front, impor tant gains have been made.' Driving - . slowly. but surely. south of Solsuona the American and French troops have' pushed their fronts further eastward toward that part of the Solssons-Chateau Thierry railway line that Is still in the hands of the enemy, and further south, along both sides of the Ourcq river and the road leading to Fere-en-Tar-donois, Germans' great store house for the supply of her troops to the south.' important penetrations into enemy territory have been made until the matlmuiii point where the allies are fighting near Coihcy is about 10 1-2 miles from their point of depar ture last Thursday. - In the Marne region north of Cha teau Thierry the Americans and the Fi ench have met with the fiercest kind of resistance, for the Germans are striving hard to extricate large numbers of the German forces and to save part of the great number of gnns and quantities of war materials. The advantage fn the fighting has rested with -the allied troops, who have pushed cn northward past the village of Kpiedes : and ousted the Germans from the greater part of the Chatelet forest. In this region the allies now hold the villages of Eptedes and Trugny-Epiedes, which were captured by the Germans and were re-captured ", Wednesday In a counter-attack . by the Americans, 'Pressing on not th ward the allies have driven their front beyond Cour poil, which lies about six and a half miles northoast of Chateau Thierry, Along the Marne at several points, notably in the region of Charteves and -Jaulgonne and further east at Treloup the a Hies have put the nor- nina mem in aavances ana captured a- large number of cannon and ma chine guns and considerable war ma- terlals. , : . In the region between the Marne and Uhelms, where the German crown prince ha brought forward large numbers of picked reinforce ments, his wan. ora are meeting with hard usage. Following up the ad vances of the French and Italians of Tuesday the British immediately to the routhwest of Rheims appar ently have begun a movement which possibly portends ood results. Here the British nave overcome a stron count?r-attacK, ana follow ing it, a violent bombardment and struck the German line at Vrirgny for a goodly gain. This maneuver, if it is pressed to further advantage will seriously menace the Rrelms Fismes railway, a scant three miles to the north and also will tend ma terially to lesn the! width of the mouth of the pocket through which the Germans are endeavoring to re treat from the Solssons-Khelms sal lent. Gauged by the war nieps, the new inr. Ih of he allied trcops into the rtf-mnn-hcld territory necessarily add to ih'i etrf;iie gravity cf the sit nation for the Germans Inside he huge pocket. With the long range guns, on both sides of the U heavily shelling them far behind the actual fighting fronts, with airmen bombing them assiduously and with the In fantry attacking them on all sides with rifle and light gun fire their situation Feemingly is a hazardous one. i Officers Will Have No Au thority Not in Accord With Ordinary Regulations f , .

A for mal statement from the war depart ment today denounced as entirely unfounded any Inferences , tending to Involve army officers in accusa tions of wrong doing In connection with the contracts for army rain coats. The statement follows: Robert J. Thome, assistant to the acting quartermaster general, af ter a preliminary investigation In re gard to the raincoat insiection scan dal in New York, states that any sus- nicion of the integrity of the army ot- ceres is'apparently without a shed of evidence to substantiate the state ments. The entire situation has been greatly magnified to the extent that a grave injustice is being done to the reputation of the army oni cers. "It Is impossible to meet the emer gency of suddenly equipping the ar my without a few sporadic instances of dishonesty coming to the surface. but it is an outrage to have such in stances magnified into an unjust ac cusation of army officers: but for tunately,' the integrity of the army officers is so generally understood by the public that very few people give credence to these unfounded accusations. "The investigation of the raincoat inspection system has been made at the instigation of the quartermaster corps, which realized that with thousands of new civilian Inspectors obtained through the civil service comisslon, here and there a dishonest one would be taken on. It is firmly believed by the department that the final inspection conducted at the de pot will detect all raincoats not prop erly fabricated. i Department of Justice officials In announcing the. discovery of frauds in connection with raincoat produc tion indicated that only a few army officers were under suspicion of ir regular conduct with contractors They did not imply corruption among any large proportion of army officers, most of them, it was recog nlzed, have demonstrated their hon esty. Most inspectors involved in the corruption disclosed by the de partment of Justice in New York are civilians.
