START DRIVE OF THEIR OWN ' ' r-- i ;' '.V Line North of Chateau Thierry Pushed Eastward Huns Lose Heavily In ' Fierce Fighting East and West of Reims. ! By EDWARD W. PICkARD. Tp to the hour of writing, Germany's "supreme effort" to win a Teutonic victory by smashing through the al-lies' lines has been n dismal and costly failure. The Huns had galwd nothing worth mentioning, and hnd hfst perhaps 100,000 men. More than that, It ap-peared they hnd lost their last chance to demolish the defenses of the allies, and hud sustained a defeat that would play hnvoc with the morale of their troops and with the support of the Chilian population of Germany. As as !lte . German offensive seemed safely hecUrd, General Foch took the Initiative and. put on a drive of his own that sent a Ihrlll through all the' allied countries. French and American troops, secretly anil careful-ly concentrated, were launched In a great attack on a twenty-fiv- e mile front between Rellenu wood and the Alsne river. The enemy was taken 'completely by surpriseand the allies, following a tremendous rolling bar-rage, advanced swiftly taking on the first day more than twenty towns and villages,, many cannon anil kirge num-bers of prisoners. They then' were close to Solssnns, commanding It with their gnns, and were in the outskirts of Neullly St. Front. Culchy, the key to the Chateau Thierry sector, was threatened; many of the railways anil roads of supply for the German armies In the south were cut or umler shell fire, and It appeared that LndendorfT would have to act quickly and power-fully or be driven entirely out of the Chateau Thierry salient If not back In the Alsne. As this Is written the battle In that region is still jrolng on, with the'Oer-hia'- n resistance stiffened by the bring-ing up of fresh troops. The Franco-America- n drive at least served to les-sen the Hun pressure on the defensive lines about Reims, though It was pre-mat-to say that the ancient cathe-dral city would not have to be evacu1 ated, or that the Germans In the Marne district had been beaten to fl standstill. Severe as was their check, they still had great forces In reserve. i This latest German drive, directed by Ludemiorn", opened early Monday with a tremendous attack at nearly all points along a le front from Chateau Thierry to Main de Masslges, east ff , S"'-,"1- TnS immediate defenses f Reims were hot assaulted, i but it seemed to be fte Intention of rthe'ifuns to squeeze the allies out! of that city and to eliminate the mill-- , ent there, and then to force their way on to Epernay and Chalons. The onrush of the first day bent back the allied line In places, but nowhere was it broken; much of the lost ground was speedily regained, and when the second day came to a close It was considered that the offensive hnd been definitely stopped. None of its ob-jectives had been attained, though the German commanders employed about ftW.OOO men in their fierce attacks. Von Hernhnrdi. the famous Prussian ; strategist, once said an offensive which : Is brought to a standstill is a con--' quered offensive, and the allies took J that view of the situation. With pride and gratification Amer-ica learned of the splendid part played hy Its soldiers in this third buttle of the-- Marne.- - Some 2.riO,000 of them wen- - Involved, holding especially the ! sectors Jilt west ami, east of Chateau Thierry, and they acquitted thein-- ! selves !r. a nmr.ner that won Hie un- - ! q,ifl;n-- d' praise !f the French com- - j imirnh r. In (he first place, they sus- - tallied n i""verful iin!t on Vant, west of ChiiK-ii- Thierry, and lbuL'h forced nut of that village inominfarily, they regained iii.i session of It by a brilliant flonntCM ttucl;. Then, far- - ther i (In- - east, at the Jaulgonn bend of the Marne, they were called on to check u tremendous rnh of Huns across the river. Their advanced line fell back, the pin fill the 'time slaughtering the Germans who were trying to get over with pontoons and canvas boats. Then the main line j of defense came Into action, changed ' itself Into a line of offense, and swept j the enemy buck across or into the river, killing great numbers and cap- - ttiring about l.rK), Including a com-- i plete brigade staff. The fighting In that sector continued with great ln- - tensity, but the Americans command- - ed the river frnr at the bend. i AMERICAN TROOPS LANDING IN A 'FRENCH PORT V " r ' !
