With the American Army, July 19.
On a front of forty kilometers from
Fontenoy to Chateau-Thierry, the
Americans and French yesterday
'launched a'n offensive against the Ger-
,man positions, it was the first Allied
offensive of moment for more than a
year.
The Americans are plavlng a large
v role. They are flghtlngMn the Sois
sons region, the Chateau-Thierry
region and other points along the big
; front.
1 As this Is written the offensive Is
"Ktslng well at all paints. The Amer
' leans and French have gained all
, along the line for varying depths. A
jscorcv of villages have been captured
and many prisoners taken. Big re
sults may be announced within twen-
N tyfour hours.
When the German high .command
started Its drive Monday morning it
" 'atarted'more than the Kaiser planned
for. The French and Americans were
entirely successful in guarding their
secret and the attack at 4:45 o'clock
k yesterday morning, without one gun
of artillery preparation, took tne Ger
mans completely by surprise.
The Americans andi French had an
early brejfkfast and started out. Then,
with rolling barrages ahead of them,
they went on,

A big piece of military work, very
