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.

Among the others interested in se
curing membership are H. M. Fuller
