It will be remembered that General Gourangd, having had, ample warning not only of the enemy‘s inâ€" tention to attack, but of the very time: when the assault was to be made, withdrew his troops to their battle poâ€" sitions, about two miles behind ‘theâ€" front line, and held his forward trenâ€" ches lightly with a few machineâ€"gunm companies. ‘The result was that the terrific German bombardment . fel largely on empty positions, and wh ‘ the Germans sweeping over them, Â¥; rived at the French battleline, they were brought up by Gouraud‘s "Irreâ€" ducible defence" and lost great numâ€" bers of men without plercing the line it any point. _ The enemy‘s retireâ€" ment from this ground, so fatal to his high hopes, means that the effort to ‘ou"lani Rhiems from the east has for the time been abandoned. It is mnoteworthy that General Gouraud, in an order of the day praising his herâ€" olc troops says that they cruahed the effort of fifteen German divisions, supported by ten more whose orders were to reach the Marne that evenâ€" Ing. ‘These supporting divisions bhave all been thrown into the battle and fresh reserves are now béing brought in to prevent disaster in the region west of Rbiems.

The Chief Difficulty of the Enemy is shortage of munitions «ud supplies. The railways in the salient upor which the German transport service has placed reliance have been subject ed to such an incessant combardment by the Allied artillery and to so conâ€" tinual a harrying by the French and British aviators that they have been rendered almost useless.

Foch, the allied cou, manderâ€"inâ€"chief ‘to counter the Gerâ€" man blow farther south along the Marne and on the line ot Rhiems. The stroke if further pushed, as it seems bound to be the entire huge salient created by the Germans in their preâ€" vious drive south of the Alsrié and enâ€" larged in their present offensive will be seriqusly endangered. ‘It is along _ All along the front, omboth sides 1 Rhiems, the entente troops contitiug6 to hold the Germans wherever they have seen fit to launch ‘attacks east of Rhiems the French have recapturâ€" ed Prunay, but south of Jhe Marne, in local fighting, they lost ‘some further ground.

At Buzauncy, south of Soissons the Alli- ericans and Frenchmen, came to wit in a mile of the city. _ Aitogether more than 20 villages fell into the hands of the Americans and Fronch, along the battle line. __Be fast has the advance progressed that already French and American troops have reached or are astride se veral of the important roads of supâ€" ply for the German armies in the south, particularly the line running from Soissons to Chateau Thierry. it is not improbable by reason of this fact and the inability of the enemy inâ€" stantly to remove them that further large quantities of supplies will be taken.
