DRIVE NEAR CHATEAU THIERRY , With the American Army in France, July 18. American storm troops in large numbers launched, in cooperation with the French a powerful offensive pn the line to the north of Chateau Thierry .this morning. The Americans passed beyond nearly all their objectives, including the Paris-Soissons road. ; , ; The enemy was taken completely by surprise all, along the line. The Americans advanced behind a terrific barrage toJ their first ob jectives in less than half an hour. While they were digging in', more Americans in most cases passed over the first objectives and then the vanced bebind the resumed barrage to the second objectives, which were speedily taken, especially at north end of the attack, opposite the Paris-Soissons road. " . V Numerous tanks participated in the offensive. The American in fantry went into the attack without previous artillery preparation. In their advance behind the rolling barrage they captured many guns, machine guns, prisoners, equipment and material. The Germans in most places offered feeble resistance, but here and there they put up a stubborn fight, which the American shock units quickly overcame at the point of the bayonet and with the muzzles of their weapons.

The attack appears to be a significant ccunter stroke to the German drive along' the Marne Rheinis-Champafrne front. From various' sources come reports that the battle is projp-essing' favor ably t o the allied forces which presumably include --American troops. ";.:..--r.-- ": ""'""':''': '.'. ..'.'" The front of attack runs from Fontenoy, fj miles west of Sois sons to the town of Belleau on the Clignon river. Few?' details of the battle arc yet available, the main fact officially stated that at 'various points along; thia front progress of a mile and a half to two niile lias been made and that prisoners have been taken.
