The American-French attac k is on the'German front * faced west toward Villers-Cotttrets, where the drive orr J 25 was halted. It is about 20 miles due west of the front wl the Germans are facing eastward trying to drive a -wedge ini the French lines below Rheims with the objective of cuttil the Epernay-Rheims railway. The Allied attack wasevidei planned as a diversion and came in a measure in the rcare the foe's offensive but so completely was the enemy taken | surprise that it may be pushed to a sweeping victory. The fifth German offensive on the Western front this year fj began during the early hour of Monday morning, after the heap* iest artillery preparation of the war. For hours a deluge of large caliber shells accompanied by clouds of ga* .-Jeacenddd] upon the French-American trenches and just before daybreak* the infantry advanced. Far back behind the Allied lines, cities < were bo/nbarded by the German long-range guns. The attack was on a frt»nt of fifty miles from 1 Thierry on the Marne to Massignes. thirty miles ea of RhtfhML Its object was to surround and rapture Rheims. which since the last offensive has projected like a sharp thorn irtlo the Gel (left flank ajtd prevented a drive upon'Amiens and the Chant i porta. Americans held ten miles of front, from Chateau Thierry [east and another sector near Massigaes. It is supposed that j an entire division of 250.000 men has been engaged from tha J first to last. There were a small number of Italians with tb« J French east of Rheims. Under the force of the first onslaught the French Km gave way at three points west of Rheims and the enemy petM traled to maximum depth of three miles. East of Rheims tha Sine held. At Mezy the enemy overran the American trenches in the first onslaught , but the Americans came back, drove thcM ayross their old line and beyond it for half a mile. Some at the fiercest fighting of the war is said to have taken place her*k and the Allied commanders have given unstinted praise to tbe ‘ Americans for gallantry. Except at one point the great Gen- man offensive stopped dead in its tracks before noon of the first day. Having cleared their own lines the Americans went to t aid of the French, attacking the German flank. They succeed ed in driving the’enemy back to the Marne and in some place, forced him to recross. The Germans brought up heavy reser ves, and failing east of Rheims and on the Amercian front, con centrated the full force of his attack on the weakened French I line between the Marne and Rheims, in an attempt to drjvw eastward to the railroad which supplies Rheims. The first onslaught having penetrated three miles, two successive aV tacks with fresh reserves Tuesday and Wednesday, sent tha wedge of the foe three miles further. Thursday mening ha was within five miles of the railway when the A French attack was launched. Now it will require t..,,, German reserves to save the day, as the forward" drive « Allies threatens to catch the German armies advanced I Marne as between the tongri of a pincers. The Germans are thought to have sent 425,000 men i this battle. Their losses were estimated at 100,000 befunr, the beginning of the French-American offensive Thursday morning. Monday the Americans took 1,500 prisoners, cap turing an entire brigade staff. Local actions in the mountain region of the Italian frori are reported, an Austrian attack being repulsed.
