American troops have taken part in couner at tacks against the German front iuar La Ftre, writes the military corre spondent of the Berlin paper, Vor waerts, who says the attacks wjjie le pulsed. Tilt correspondent adds: "After the first surprise, the enemy pressure along the entire front natur ally is growing stronger. Threatening catastrophe compels the enemy to reckless action. South of the "hieak through' front he, therefore, is col lecting strong reserves intended for a flank movement on our attacking army. "Attacks of combined allied forces yesterday against the pivot of the German attacking front'near La Fere were particularly heavy. These counter-attacks did not find us unprepared. It testifies to the superior foresight of the German command that these at tacks in which Arnerican troops cer tainly participated only symbolically, were not only beaten off but were thrown back on the Oise canal by an energetic blow." No United States Prisoners. The part reported to have been played by American troops in the at tempted relief of the British flank near La Fere is referred to briefly by most of the German war correspon dents, but so faf no mention has been made of the presence of Americans among the prisoners.
