Americans Repulse Raiders On Marne Front
On the Marne Americans repelled a German raiding party this morning, routing them with several dead left behind. Weather was cloudy and windy, limiting airplane observation while artillery activity remained below normal. French forces captured Corey west of Soissons and gained the St Paul Chateau and farm at Retz Forest, enlarging the line near the Devoli valley. Austrian reports claim 26 new defensive lines in Albania as Austro-Hungarians fall back toward the Skumbi River. Rome notes 250,000 prisoners in recent Albanian operations and confirms Gen Fadini's death near the Piave.
