Show LONDON REPORTS YANKEE VICTORY OVER THE HUNS By the. Associated Press. WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, May 29. Further enemy counter-attacks against the American troops, who yesterday stormed their way into Cantigny, have been repulsed and at latest reports the overseas men were holding their positions in the shell-torn village strongly. The Germans delivered their first counter-thrust late yesterday in an effort ef-fort to regain the defenses which had been wrested from them in the morning aiong a two-kilometer front. The enemy drive was preceded by a heavy bombardment, bombard-ment, which began at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. After thirty minutes of artillery artil-lery preparation the Germans advanced, but were caught in an intense fire from the American guns and were apparently forced to retire' without having come into close contact with the American infantry. Since then the enemy has made additional addi-tional attempts to drive the Americans from the village, but without avail. |
