NEWS REVIEW OF

Fifth German Offensive, on the
Marne, Quickly Checked by
French and Yankees.
START DRIVE OF THEIR OWN
Lino North of Chateau Thierry Pushed
Eastward Huns Lose Heavily In
Fltrce Fighting East and
West of Reims.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Up to the hour of writing, Germany's
"supremo effort" to win n Teutonic
victory by smashing through the ill
lies' fines has been u dismal and costly
failure. The Huns had gained nothing
worth mentioning, and had lost perhaps
100,000 men. More than that, it ap
peared they had lost thIr last chance
to demolish the defenses of the nllles,
and had sustnlned n defeat that would
play havoc with the morale of their
troops and with the support of the
civilian population of Germany.
As soon as the German offensive
neemed safely checked, General Foch
took the Initiative and put on a drive
of his own that sent n thrill through
nil the allied countries. French and
American troops, secretly and careful
ly concentrated, were launched In n
great nttack on n twenty-live mile
front between Bellcau wood and the
Alsno river.. The enemy was taken
completely by surprise, and the nllles,
following n tremendous rolling bnr
rage, advanced swiftly taking-on the
first; day more than twenty towns and
villages, mnny cannon and largo num
bers of prisoners. They then were
close to Solssons, commanding It with
their guns, nnd wore In the outskirts
of Neullly St. Front. Culchy, the koy
to .the Chutcnu Thierry sector, was
threatened ; many of the railways and
ronds of supply for the Germfin armies
In the south were cut or under shell
fire, nnd It appenred that Ludendorff
would hnvo to net quickly and power
fully or be driven entirely out of tho
Chnteau Thierry salient if not back
to tho Alsne.
As this Is written the battle In that
region Is still going on, with the Ger
man reslstnnco stiffened by the bring
ing up. of fresh troop. Tho Franco
American drive at least served to les
sen the Hun pressure on the defensive
lines about Itolms, though It was pre
mature to say that tho ancient cathe
dral city would not have to bo evacu
ated, or that the Germans In the
Mnrno district had boon beaten to a
standstill. Severe ns was their check,
tfiey still had great forcos In reserve.
Tat
This Intcst German drive, dlreojed
y Ludendorff, opened eaily Mondny
tylth n tremendous nttack nt nearly
.nil points along n 05-mlle front from
Chnteau Thierry to Moln do Masslges,
enst of Helms. The Immediate
defenses of Reims wero not assaulted,
but It seemed to bo the Intention of
tho nuns to squeeze the allies out of
that city nnd to eliminate, tho sali
ent there, nnd then to force their
wny on to Epernny and Chalons. Tho
onrush of the first dny-hent bnck the
nlllcd line In places, but nowhero was
It broken; much of tho lost ground
was speedily regained, nnd when the
second day came to n eloso It was
considered that the offensive had been
definitely stopped. Nono of Its ob
jectives had been attained, though the
German commanders employed about
750,000 men In their fierce attacks.
Von Hornhnrdl, tfio famous Prussian
strategist, onco snld nn offensive which
in brought to a standstill Is n con
quered offensive, nnd tho nllles took
thnt view of the situation.
Uai
With pride and gratification Amer
ica learned of tho splendid pnrt plnyed
. by its soldiers In this third bnttle of
the Marne. Some 250,000 of them
wero involved, holding" especially the
sectors Just west and enst of Chnteau
Thierry, and, they acquitted them
selves In a manner that won the un
qualified pralso of tho French com
manders. Iu the first place, they sus
tained n powerful assault on Vans,
west of Chateau Thierry, and though
forced out of thnt village momentarily,
they regained possession of It by u
brilliant counter-attack. Then, far
ther to the east, at the Jaulgonne
bend of the Marne, they were called
nn to check a tremendous rush of
Iluns across the river. Their advanced
line fell back, the guns all the time
slaughtering the Germans who were
trying to get over with pontoons nnd
canvas bout. Then the main line
of defence came Into action, changed
Itself Into a line of offense, nnd swept
the enemy back across or Into the
river, killing great numbers and cap
twins about l.fiOO, Including u com
plete brigade stuff. The llghtlug In
thnt sector continued with great In
tensity, but the Americans command
ed the river front at tho bend.
to
On Tuesday the Amcrlcnns. In co
operation with the French, launched
heavy attacks between St. Agnan nnd
La Chapelle-Monthodon, southeast of
.Taulgonnct where tho Germans had
succeeded In getting considerable
forces across the river. The enemy
was driven Jmck steadily nnd both
these villages, as well ns others, were
recaptured. From Dorrnnns, north
ward toward Reims, In a sector held
by Franco-Italian forces, tho Huns nt
first advanced two or three miles,
but occupied no positions of impor
tance nnd were unable to disorganize
In fhe least the defensive line of the
allies. By Wednesdny the Germnns
were mnklng their grentest efforts
In this sector, trying to forco
their wny toward Epernny. Rut
by this time the French wore
manifestly holding the upper hand,
nnd they counter-attacked eagerly
and spiritedly," retnklng every piece of
ground which the Germnns occupied
by their desperate efforts. Nearly ev
ery attempt of the enemy to ndvnncc
was repulsed almost before It started.
to
The swiftest and most completo
chock sustained by the Germnns was
enst of Reims, between I'ompelle fort
nnd Mnln do Masslges. Expecting nn
easy victory there., they met with n
crushing defeat at the hands -of the
French troops under General Gournud.
This gallant commrfnder, who lost nn
nrm nt the Dardanelles, hnd disposed
his men with the utmost cleverness.
When the Gerninn bombardment be
gan, ono of the most terrific ever
known, the French, except for nmchlno
gun crews In blockhouses, retired to
shelter. Then the observers announ
ced thnt tho ndvauco was starting, nnd
Instantly tho enemy wns swept by n
devastating fire from rnnnnn, mnehlnu
guns and rifles. The blockhouses re
tarded the Huns, lnrge numbers ol
whom wero killed, and the chnrglng
troops never entered the French lln
of reslstnnee, coming to n stnndstlll nt
tho wlro entanglements, Which wort
loaded with dond bodies.
The Huns engaged In this nttack
were fifteen elite divisions, with ten
divisions supporting. Loss than "one
third ns many Frenchmen defeated
them, and tho French disunities were
astonishingly few. The nttncklng Ger
ninn divisions had to bo relieved, but
tho French stiiil In their positions,
happy and cheerful nnd more confi
dent than ever.
rs
Tl?e mornle of nil tho nllled troops,
Indeed, wns of the highest, in strong
contrast to that of the enemy as re
vealed by the words and nctlons of
prisoners. The spirit of the Americans
engaged wan shewn vividly by two In
cidents worth recording. On the first
day, when n certain force of Yankees
hnd been compelled to give ground,
their commander wns advised by a
French general to let his men rest, ns
the retirement could have no serious
consequences. The American respond
ed thnt he could iot accept the coun
sel and wns going to counter-attack
nf once. This ho did, regaining the
lost terrain and hnlf u mllo more to
boot. Another commander, In report
ing tho reenpturo of n number of
towns, wired to headquarters : "Met
Roche on -his lino of defense. Shnrp
fighting. Roche turned tall nnd ran
like h 1, pursued by our troops. IIopo
to have more prisoners." There wero
numerous Instnnces of valor and nervo
In tho desperate fighting In which tho
Americans took part. Those ore the
troops which the German papers as
sert are flabby, without enthusiasm
and unfit for serious operations.
The French soldiers displayed 'their
customnry gallantry anil determina
tion, and the Italians on that front
weie nut behind them In this, if more
stress Is laid on the bravery of the
Ainerleaus. It Is only because the oth
ers have proved themselves times
without number In the last four years.
All the latest reports of the allies
state that the situation Is entirely sat
isfactory and Improving hourly.
rjj
At first It wns thought by many that
I.tiilendurff's offensive In the Marne
region was not Intended to be his main
effort but masked a plan to nttack
elsewhere, perhaps In Flanders. At
the end of the week there were still
some observers who bclleved-thls but
It seemed very doubtful. At the same
time. It wns hard to figure out how he
could expect to derive any great bene
fit from success where he attacked.
Even If he had attained his supposed
objectives and captured Epernay.
f'halons. the Mountain of Reims and
Mont-MIrall, he would be no nearer a
decisive victory than before, and wns
certain to lose an onornnnis number of
men. Instead of turning westward to
ward Paris, he was attempting to
move to the east nnd south and the
road to the capltnl would still be
closed to him.
If Ludendorff really plans nn offen
sive In Flanders, the Rrltlsh there are
getting ready to meet It. Several times
last week they advanced their lines,
taking possession of positions thnt ma
terially strengthened their defenses.
The Rrltlsh airmen wero especially nc
tlvo nnd there .were numerous bomb
ing raids over territory held by the
Germans nnd on German towns.
IBS
The Frnnco-Ttallan troops In Albnnln
continued their victorious progress J
inst week and made their way well to
the north and enst, threatening tho
flank of tho enemy In Macedonia., The
political effect of this offensive nlrendy
Is becoming apparent in Austrln-Hun-gnry.
The Chinese government hns decid
ed to send n force to Vladivostok to
co'opernto with the nllles, but It 13
probable nothing more will bo done
now except to protect tho frontiers of
China. Japan was much excited last
week over tho proposition to send a
grent expedition Into Siberia. The
press Insisted tho United States had
submitted toJapan a proposal for such
action, though this wns not officially
confirmed. - f
Tho provisional government of Si
beria, located at Harbin, Is growing In
strength, but mny bo reorganized soon
owing to dissatisfaction with General
Horvuth, who put himself nt Its head.
It is said the Czccho-Slovuks have
agreed to co-operate with Hnrvnth.
These troops hnvo driven tho bolshe
vlkl entirely out of Irkutsk nnd u
lnrge force of them was reported to be
approaching Krnnsnoynrsk.
It wns revealed that n considerable
number of Americans hnVe been sent
to the Murnmusk const to help guard
iho supplies there. Lenlne Is enrnged
because those forcos are In Russia nnd
has ordered them removed. There Is n
chance that ho will declnro war on tho
allies, a course which, nnturally
enough, Is strongly urged by tho Ger
ninn press. In this connection It Is
to bo noted that Prof. Paul Milukoff,
leader of tho constitutional democrats,
has gone over to tho Germans, saying
ho would prefer n unljted Russia un
der Gerninn protection to n country
broken up Jnto mnny governments.
