Germans pressed on Oise front as French defend Compiegne
War observers report the German drive along the Oise is being checked by strong Allied resistance. French forces fall back from a sharp salient toward Noyon while counterattacks near Matz and Soissons push back German advances. Ludendorffs renewed effort to seize Compiegne appears limited with a predicted high tide of the invasion by Saturday and Paris as the ultimate aim.

German Drive Now Held at All Points
Allied guns forced German forces back along the Aisne and Montdidier-Noyon line. In the Soissons sector Germans penetrated Laversine but failed to advance elsewhere. French trenches north of Courecy were retaken in a counter attack. Generals report heavy losses for both sides and capture of 150 German guns and over 15,000 prisoners. American troops northwest of Chateau Thierry repelled attacks. 108 Americans awarded the French war cross. In Macedonia French forces extend control to 9 1/2 miles, occupying 11 villages and taking 310 prisoners.
