Failed With the American Army in France, July 3. (By The As sociated Press.) A heavy Ger man counter-attack against the American positions at Vaux, launched at one o'clock this morning, was repulsed, the enemy losing very heavily. Not a foot of the ground won by the Americans in their attack on Monday night was lost. The counter-attack devel oped after the Germans had heavily bombarded Vaux and Bois de La Roche. When the German infantry leaped from their trenches the troops came over in close formation.' In some cases whole companies were allowed to approach close to the American line, then the American machine gunners, from their, hidden nests, let loose a perfect hail of bullets, mowing down the enemy ranks and piling the dead over the . ground whercTTOe Germans were trying to advance. , The American artillery lent efficient aid in completely breaking up the enemy attack, which was launched with fresh regiments of storm troops. The number of prisoners taken by the Americans in the operations near Chateau Thier ry was increased today without the American infantry operat ing except as skirmishers.. German shells have been raining on the new American positions and the enemy fire 1 has been answered by the , American guns. The Ameri can line was the target of pro jectiles of all calibres, gas shells being mixed with hjgh explosive missiles. The shells have been falling heavily in the areas behind the battle line The enemy fire, particularly on the right flank of the new po sitions at Vaux, was most in tense for hours. , At last reports, the Ameri can machine gunners were holding their ground and re pulsing small but desperate ef forts of the Germans to regain the ground wrested from them. The Americans are reported to be well protected by their tem porary trenches and are not ex posing themselves needlessly to the storm of flying steel from the bursting German shells. The German loss in killed is unknown, but prisoners say that their orders were to drive back the Americans at al " costs. They have paid the '"highest cost possible, but have failed to perform the task en trusted to them. . From the general conditions along the battle line, it appears that further attacks by the Germans are likely to develop The Americans, however, are just as ready for what is com ing as they wero for what has V passed, and are just as conn dent as to the outcome.

CZECHO -SLOVAK BANDS IN SIBERIA SHOW STRENGTH Farm Necleus For Various Ele ments To Fight Bolshevik! and German Influence REGARDED AS VALUABLE ASSET BY THE ALLIES Czecho-Slovaki Have Taken Over Administration of The ' Paciflo Port of Vladivostok After Overcoming Armed Onnosition By The Bolshe- vikis in Battle (By the Aoeiated Pre.) Washington, July 3. Unexpected de- velopment of strength by the Csecho Slovak band wnlch are making their way across the Siberian plain from European Bussia, ha arrested the at tention of official her and formed the basis of earnest conference among the diDlomatie . representative of the entente powers. Official reports received today con firmed and amplified press dispatches that the Czecho slovak had taken over administration- of the Pacifia port of Vladivostok after overcoming armed opposition by the Bolshevikl In a battle in which there was considerable loss of life. Tha significance of this event a teen by official lies in the fact that there i now a real nurleu in Siberia for the gathering of the variou ele ment which have revolted against Bol sheviki control and lurrender to Ger man influence. While it is by no mean certain that the entente allies or America are dis posed at present, at least, to take ad vantage of the aituation thns created to begin a military campaign in that quar ter, it i regarded as a valuable asset in th solution , of th problem that through thi unmprempted action, the Cscho-81ovak have definitely baited the spread of German control M the eastera coast of Siberia and further as sured th safely from German aeiiure of th vast store of military tnpplle it Vladivostok and vicinity. Leadership I Needed. Whether the Ciccho-Slovak can take full advantage of the possession of the Pacific port, commanding a great rail road penetrating' the interior of Siberia and connecting with the Russian sys tem, would seem to depend on their ability to find common aspiration and gather their strength under one leader. It also is regarded as essential that they effect a junction in purpose, if not physically, with other element now in revolt in Siberia and European Russia. One this baa been accomplished it is believed thst the entente powers and America may be induced to conaider the question a to whether there hat not been established th representative and table government in Siberia and- Bus sia as well, which they may recognize and aid, Variou band of Czecho-Slovaki, well armed and thoroughly organized, occupy many point of strategic value along th Siberian railroad from th Ural mountain to the Pacific in forces numbering from 1,000 to 13,000 with th largest body at Vladivostok.

E D BREAKING SHIPBUILDING WED STATES Gives Country a Merchant Ma rine of 10,040,659 Gross Tons NUMBER OF VESSELS IS NEARLY 30,000 In Addition There Are 200,000 Tons of Beqnisitioned Dutch Ships and 404,700 Tons Operated By The Army and Navy as Transports; Nearly 100 Ships To Be Launched Washington, July 8. On the eve of the greateit chip launching day in hi tory, the bureau of navigation of the Department of Commerce announced to night that the fiscal year just closed exceeded all previous year in new chip built in thi country, giving the United State a merchant marine of 10,040,059 gross tons and numbering nearly 30,000 vessels. In the twelve months ended Juno 30, there were 1,623 new ship of 1.430,793 gro ton numbered by the bureau, more than double th output of Grr man yard in peace time. Great Britain' production in the-same period has not been made public, but in the year end ed May 31, amounted to 1,406,8.18 gro ton, or about 70 per cent of the nor msl output. In addition to the merchant ship permanently under the Star and Stripe, the seagoing fleet of cargo ear ners controlled by the United States Include 200,000 ton of requisitioned Dutch ships and 404,700 tons operated by the army and navy as transports, hospital ' inipa, supply transport and other auxiliary craft, beside yachts and similar vessels under 600 tons em ployed la considerable number In mil itary and naval service. One half of the fiscal year output ef ihipa waa completed in the last fotir months. The total included S.ri3 seago ing steel steamer of 1,034,604 gross tons and 157 seagoing wooden vessel of 213.0HM tons, the remainder being ves sels for the lskes, river and domestic transportation, except one concrete sea going, stenmer of 3,427 gross tons. Better Record Next .Yenr. Evea this record production, how ever, undotibtcdlv will lie eclipsed in the fiscal year jast starting, for many new yards are just beginning to get into full operation and the great fabricating yards have not yet begun to add finish ed ahipa to the cargo fleets. Losses sustained by the merchant marine inrluded for the last three months were R2.049 tons of seagoing vessels, including ten of 4.707 gross tons sunk by etihmsrinrs off the At lantic coast in May and June. The growth nf the shipbuilding in dustry in this country in 'the last two years has been a close rival of many huainessrs which have given America it reputation as a great industrial na tion. The records of the bureau of nav igation show that in the twelve month ended June 30, 1017, when the renaii sance of shipbuilding had just started, there were completed in Amerieaa yard 1,030 ship of 347,147 gross tons. Another twelve months saw the num ber Increased to 146 ships ef 812,659 gross tons and in the year just ended the tonnage output waa nearly doubled, while the number of ships grew to 1, 6S2. Instead of small craft for domes tic transportation the yarda now are building great rwcan going ships to carry men and supplies to France and Inter to establish n"w lines nf eommuni ration between the United States and Latin-America and the Orient.
