ITALIANS PUSH ENEMY BACK IN BATTLE'S PAUSE Carry Out Brilliant Counter attack While Armies Mark Time at Night By Associated Press On Ui' French Front in Prance, Wednesday, July 17—Night—While both the enemy and allied armies generally were -marking time, the Italians to-night carried out a bril liant counterattack near Pourcy, north of the Mame, after the Ger mans had harried them by incessant attacks during the day. They drove <he enemy back into the valley of the Ardre river. Other sectors both north and south of the river Marne saw many small local actions, but nothing partaking of the character of a general action. Numerous hami-to-hand encoun ters occurred. The enemy still is trying hard to make progress toward Epernay by way of Venteuil on the north and Neuilly and Montvoison on the south of the Marne. Montvoison changed hands several times, the French eventually gaining some ground. Nowhere along the front did the Germans obtain an advantage during the day. Heavy righting with con stant attacks and counterattacks haVe been taking place in the vicinity of Courton wood, where, owing to the nature of the ground, the situa tion is most difficult. East of Rheims the day was com paratively quiet but the French re captured some trenches in the vicin ity of Prunay and repulsed attacks between Beaumont and Sillery.
