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

ARMY OFFICERS
CLEARED FROM
GRAFT CHARGES
War Department Denounces
Accusations as Entirely
Unfounded
INVESTIGATION GOES ON
Inspectors Involved in Rain
coat Graft Found, Princi
pally Civilians
WASHINGTON, July 24. 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.
