Allies Retain Gains as HMNS Deliver Blows in France
A Bern dispatch says Gen von Mackensen warned Germany cannot send divisions from Russia and Roumania due to Roumanian unrest. The Roumanian kingdom is under siege and 200000+ are out of work. From Soissons to Reims, Franco American forces repelled costly German counteractions while artillery duels intensified. American troops hold Nestes and press, as Berlin reports 24000 Allied prisoners since July 15 and 10 Allied planes down. Meanwhile British capture Merris near Ypres as U.S. forces maintain lines near Seringes.

American units on the front repelled a coordinated German assault near Sergy and Cierges. At 9:30 p.m. Tuesday evening, infantry and machine gun charges were met with effective American fire, inflicting heavy losses on the attackers and scattering prisoners. The German effort to filter into the American sector was contained and the outfit annihilated.
