A0ERICAN FORCES GAIN IMPORTANT GROUND
Batils for Hill 204 Desperate, Success May
; Prove Importantln Future Operations.
With the American Forces on
the Marne, July 2 An entire Ger
rnri regiment has been virtually
anlnihilatd in tde fighting west
offhilli204, according to official
information.
The attack by the Americans
on the Vaux positions was so ter
rific that they swept right thru
the enemy lines and had their
object been to continue the ad
vance, they could have done so
with the greatest ease, as virtu
ally everything before them had
been cleared. So great was the
enthusiasm of the men, the offi
cers in some cases had to look
sharp to keep them from going
beyond, the set objectives.
It is pot . .improoable that the
Germans are planning another
counter attack for the coming
dark hours, but preparations
have been made to meet them.
A vast quantity of materia
considering the size of- the oper
ation, is being taken to the rear,
but probably will not be tabu
lated for several days.
In the fighting west of Vaux
the Americans stormed several
enemy: nests and killed or cap
tured thftpccupantSj then turned
the guns the other way, using
chem effectively against the ene
my rear areas-
The Americans penetrated the
enemy's lines to a depth of about
a kilometer and a. half on a total
front of about four kilometers.
All day today the troops in the
front line have been subjected to
a h(ea vy shell . fire. They had
some shelter in one patch of
woods which they occupied, but
thode who did not enter the
wood have only the protection
which they had provided for
themselves with their entrench-
ng fools or by taking cover in
shell holes' Prom one crater
sliglitlyj in advance of the line,
but pn it, from a technical point
of view, American soldiers this
afternoon -let their comrades
know where they were when one
of their party leaned over the
lip of the crater and waved his
helmet.
The7 prisoners taken in the
German counter attack say that
tney . marched 'for three hours &s
fast as they could when word
reached the commander of an
enemyj battalion in the rear of
Vaux, which town is on the
right of the American attack.
Observers reported this morn
ing that the Germans were ap
parently hurrying to bring up
reinforcements behind their line.
-
. All, the prisoners questioned
today, expressed their relief at
being captured. One speaking
excellent ISnglish said to the cor
respondent:
"Thank the Lord, I'm out of
there. The American artillery
smothered us more than once
andjthe infantrymen fight like,
wild dpvils without a siugle fear,
but when the fight is finished
i heyafe gentlemen. One could
have killed me, but did not, and
I gave;him my iron cross for my
IthanksL"

of the salient driven into the al
lied line by" the Germans late in
May, the Americ ins aud French
hayeiw'on important ground near
Ghatbau Tnierry. The, attack
was local in character, but its
success-may prove important in
the future operations in that
part! of the battle front nearest
Paris.
' The assault was aimed at the
hamlet. of Vaux, which is situat
ed on the south side of the Chat
eau Thierry -Par is road, and on
the northern slopes of hill 2oi

Cq tteau Thierry, This was car-

an attempt to regain the lost
positions, but their effort, tailed

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
Good Americans will indorse out
right the program of the National Se
curity League to prevent the election
gress this year who are not known to
be vigorous proponents of the war or
who can be lured to support any spc
cious efforts at an iriconcluslve peact.
The country needed such a nonpollti
cal organization as the league to lead
the fight against the milk fed office
holders and office seekers who, In
many parts of the country are cater
ing to the hopes of the people that
the war may be ended, even though it
is not ended right. The league can
cme to Colorado, for Instance, and
build fires under two or three politi
cians who probably will seek re-elections
here and, without its motives be- '
ing questioned, can expose the rank
pacifism which has featured their po
litical careers.
Just how the war will terminate
will depend mostly upon the United
States. Just what the United States
will do depends in a great measure
upon Congress. If there is a strong
sentiment for premature peace in its
membership the task of putting
through our war program until our in
stitutions are absolutely safe will be
complicated. We are pledged now to
go through with the war by force,
'without stint or limit," and ve must
support that pledge by electing men
to Congress who will "stay put" on
the issue until victory is won.
For that matter. Americans should
be careful about electing anybody, to
any office now who is not dear-cut on
the war. Men of no particular fore q
In private life have much weight add
ed to their opinions when they are
clothed with the authority of office.
We cannot afford to have any such
backing thepaciflsts in the dark days
of the war that are to come. We must
make this a poor season for "yellow
dog" office seekers of whatever grade
or pnrty or politics. Colorado Springs
