7) AMERICANS WIN SHARP FIGHTING ON VESLE LINE with THE SAMERI AD MIES IN FRANCK, Aug. Americans and Germans ed in sharp infantry fightin violent artillery battles thruout yesterday, from the region of Bazoches to a considerable die tance east of Fismes, a front of five miles, Hoth Americana and boches at tacked and counter attacked repeat: edly, The Amerfoans advanced their lines in the region of Bazoches, and flerce street fighting resulted in the outskirts of the town, At the same time the boches attacked Fismette, but were repulsed. Later the Americans were involv ed in a fight in Bols du Diable and succeeded tn rectifying their line Altho comparatively. small num bers were engaged in this ¢ighting, it was very bitter, and the boches | showed reluctance to give up ground. They sent reinforcements pellmel! down the side of a hill north of the Veale, in plain view of our artillery and machine gun observers. A heavy fire was poured into the boche rein forcements, which were broken up with heavy losses before they reach ed the main line Smash Machine Guns Meanwhile, in the fighting around | Bazoches, the Americans rushed and amashed several machine gun nests. Boche and allied airplanes waged a vigorous fight overhead, as the ene- sny airmen sought to elude their a ‘ial opponents and attack the Amert- can infantry with machine guns from a low altitude, The fighting broke out everywhere at 540 in the morning and continued alld ay. At Fismette the boches tried to work thelr way ‘into the town, spraying liquid fire toward the doughboys. but with little success, The first rush forced the Amert cans to withdraw somewhat. One of ficer and 25 men held a bridge cross ing the Vesle, while the others sought cover, Aligattempts of the Germans to reach the river were beaten off, An fast as a boche appeared near the bridge, he was cut down by rifle and machine gun fire. Our airplanes. also were busy fn the vicinity of Flismette, bombing the German infantry heavily while our infantry was attacking Bazpches. The latter-village was mnasbéd and |Hearly leveled by American artillery.
