With the Americans on the Marno
July 3. (Evening). The American?
utterly demolished an attempted coun
ter attack on their new positions west
of Chateau-Thierry this morning taking
97 additional prisoners.
Our artillery laid down a terrific bar
rage that entirely cut off the attack
ing force, while tit? American machine
gun and rifle fire annihilated them.
A number of light machine guns
were captured in this fighting, raising
xne torai tasen since last night to more
than sixty. Final clieckine ud of the
boche prisoners taken in last night's
and today's operations is expected to
now more than ouu.
Last night's advance progressed far
ther at some points man was first re
ported. It is now "stablished that the
minimum penetration was about a kilo
. meter and a half, or nearly a mile.
While the German counter attack was
under way this morning, eight Ameri
can flyers attacked nine boche direct
ly above the scene of last night's bat
tle. The fight lasted 35 minutes.
Two Germans, from a height" of 13,000
feet, dove through an American patrol
hoping to draw th,e latter down into an
anibusoade. The Americans saw the trap
mid attacked in battle formation- at

which four boche planes were sent
spinning. The French later reported
these were destroyed.

London, July 3. American baseball
players who will take part in the

Fourth of July celebration planned for

The men will have lunch at the Sa

As for the baseball game, the bet

won three and lost four. The army

(Continued on page two)
It is highly improbable that General
Foch will use the Americans in an ex
tended offensive this summer. A sud
den emergency may arise, making such
a course imperative, but under normal
conditions, another million Americans
ought to bo in France before the su
preme effort is made to inflict mililary
defeat on the Hohenzollerns.
General Fpch has demonstrated this
year that he has the supreme quality of
patience, although he well knows that
the allies must apply the offensive
weapon to win the war. But there will
be no false start so long as General
Foch can carry out his own plans, nor
will an effort be made to break the Ger
man war machine with an inadequate
supply of men.
Of the million American troops in
France, approximately 630,000 are ac
tual fighters. Of these active combat
ants more than 400,000 have reached
France since the beginning of Von Hin-
denburg's offensive on March 21. That
means the British and French casualties
in the spring offensive have much more
than b.oen made good.
General Foch, therefore, in all prob
ability has superiority in man power
over Von Hindenburg. The superiority
however, i not yet sufficient to insure
that quality of supreme pressute which
the allies must be prepared to maintain
once the American offensive starts.
General Foch is developing his major
strategy with profound skill. This sum
mer it is for Hindenburg to attempt to
win if lie can, and thereby deplete the
German reserves.

With the British Armies in France
July 3. Aa a result of the Germans
retaking the ridge northwest of Albert
last night, tho British are now back
along their old front line, established
when the enemy drive was stopped here
last spring.
Apparently the Germans considered
tho British positions over-menacing to

the fourth attempt 4hey .had made
since the Bntuth suce.es in . the same

- Austrian Losses Heavy y
With the Italian Armies in ? the
Field, July 3. Tho previous estimates
of 1500 Austrians killed in tho recent
mountain fighting is now considerably
increased. It is known that two enemy
regiments, one of which was entirely
fresh, wore entirely wiped out, all of
their members feeing killed or captur
ed.
Cezch-S'.ovak units, in hand to hand
fighting, killed an Austrian colonel and
his entire staff.
From prisoners and captured' docu
ments it is learned that the support
from Austrian artillery was very poor.
The attacking party numbered less
than the enemy prisoners captured.
Port of Naples Enlarged
Rome, July 3. A government decree
authorizes enlargement of the Port of
Naples, including construction of a
canal from Baiae to connect Lake La-
vernus with the sea, transforming the
lake into the largest drydock on the
Mediterranean.
Baiae, a 'favorite watoring place of
tho old Romans, lies ten miles wes of
Xaples. Lake Lavernus which is situ
ated a short distance from the bay of
Naples, was regarded by the ancients
as the entrance to tho infernal re
gions, Ibecaiiise of its forbidding aspect
and gloomy surroundings.

He's of the crossed bull and fox terrier
variety, has had a bath since he fell
into American hands, and is getting

j every homier who lives in or passes thru
I tho village.
if there is anything a soldier in the
field lows most next to his letters from

j a dog. Consequently there is a feeling
jof pity as the men in the trenches look
lout ovr the parapet and see tho stif
fened body of the Boche dog. He hap
pened to be born on the other side of
the Rhine. Therefore! he was an enemy.
Ho couldnt reason why one man was his
friend and one his foo. He only knew
that when he was called, and some
thing was slipped in the little alumin
um container on his collar, he must go
to tho place to which he had been
taught to go. Neither did ho know that
when he galloped beyond the O'rinnn
wire and out into Nomans Land his lean
form was silohetted against the sky in

that this was tlw short way to the next

Clark slipped out through th3 wire, un
