AMERICANS ATTACKING
By Fn! & Ferguson
(United Press gtaff correspondent)
With the Americans Between the
Aisne and tho Marne, July 19. (11 p.
m )Amerian troops attacked on a
front of several kilometers southwest
of Soissons late this evening. Fighting
was still in progress at the hour of
cabling, with tho Americans advancing.
The assault was made east of Coeuv
rca, near Missy-Aux-Bois and extended
over a wide front to the southward.
(Missy-Aux-Bois is more than four
miles gouthwest of Soissons. Tho whole
lino between the Aisne and the Marne
apparently is very irregular, especial
ly in the region of Soissons.)
German counter attacks in the re
gion "of Soissons continued and were
repulsed. The French and Americans
made further advances northeast of
Chaudun, cast of Vierzy, and east of
Cotirthamps.
(This indicate new Franco-American
advances in various portions of
front of about 16 miles. Chaudun is
five miles southwest of Soissons and
two (miles south of Mitwy-AuxBois.
Vierzy is two mile south of Chaudun.

in the hospital there and had left a

None of the six children were present
for the funeral services or burial.
One of the three daughters lives at

is Mrs. Vinnie Hungato of Thompson-

Another daughter is Mrs. EUa Just,
who lives on a farm near Eedbird,
Nebraska. The letter from her was
written in August of 1917 and took
note of their farm work but seemed to
inclose no money to help the old folks.
Besides the son, who lived for a
time at Linnton, Oregon, thero is an
other son by the name of Jim Sargent
who is a practicing physician living at
La Habra, California. A letter from
the doctor was writte"n June of this I

offered.
Henry Sargent, a son living at Junc

Marcn'g General Review
Last Monday tho Germans began an
attack which covered a sixty mito
front. About ono half of it was in the
very hilly country between Cliotonii-
Thierry and Rhoims and the rest of It
in the Champagne extending from
Kheims to the Argonno,
In tho Cbaiinpagne, tho positions
wero held by the French and by one
American division the 42nd pins ft
regiment of colored troops from the
9,'Jrd.
The penetration there was slight.
Tho Champagne district was under
charge of the French general, Gonrad,
ono of the .most striking personalities
of France- He wears five bfosse stripes,
has lost ono arm, is a man of deter
mined character, whom the French call
"trog soldat" every inch a soldier.
German Initial Advance
Along the Marne between Chateau
Thierry anJ Bheims the Germans made
an advance of four to five miles on a
2.1 milo front. The terrain there Is
difficult, with hills and woods.
This general movement has been
brought to a standstill. The Germans
in their offonsive claimed they had a
an object tho nutcracker process of
squeezing off li-heims, which is very
woll organized for defense, even to the
extent of hous to house defense, which
had heretofore made it impossible to
get at.
Foch Strikes Back

struck hard along tho western side.
Tho front over which we advanced
was 22 miles.
Tho maximum penetration as remort-
ed officially was to a dnnth of 10
miles, with a general penetration of
coven miles.
In this advance there were six Am
erican divisions' and ono regiment of
colored troops.
(The' regular colored troops referred
to above were on the allied right, but
March did not dosignnto tho panticu-,
lar out'bit, between Soissons and. Chateau-Thierry.)
Attacks on Flank
The allied counter offensive is not
an encircling movement. It is aimed
at tho chief supply line of tho Gorman
running into Clinton u-Thierry and wns
delivered on the flank because eu:n
a blow would cripplo the Gornians more
than a push up from soutih of the
Marno.
A push from beloiw would merely
give them an exit without crippling
their supply Vine.
In his weekly tnlk with .members of
tho senate military committee today,
General March cautioned against over-
oiliinin an a result of tho spectacular
Franco-American dush. llo declared
that muny difficulties aro stitl uhead
and too much must not be expected.
German Flans Upset,
The committee was told that tho Ger
mnns appeared to havo planned two
offciisivts one tfgainst the American
nnd French, to be closely followed by
one against the British.
Tim ability of tho liritish to start a
strong counter offensive of thoir own
now depends upon how fur ho Germans,
have been forced to withdraw men and
materials from that sector to reinforce
tho lines where the French and Anierir
cans aro attacking. - .
War department officials admitted
it .is possible that the Germans' claim
of 20,000 prisoners is true, but it was
stated that if the Germans had taken
this number they had dono it in the
very curly stages of thJ fighting before
