[FRENCH REPORT] PARIS, July 1.—French troops advanced their lines slightly on a five-mile front northwest of Chateau-Thierry, and in an op- eration southeast of Mosly took 200 prisoners, the French War Office reported to-day. Nearly fifty prisoners were taken in “other operations between Montdidier and Soissons. Also taking the aggressive south of the Aisne, the French captured a German strong point near Cutry, southwest of Soissons, adding to their recent gains in this sector. The Germans counter-attacked in an effort to recover the ground gained by the French Saturday night in the vicinity of Mosly, on the Ourcq front. The enemy was repulsed, the French retaining their new positions in their entirety. The text of to-day’s statement by the War Office is as follows: “Between Montdidier and Noyon French raids resulted in twenty prisoners. South of the Aisne the French captured a resistance centre north of Cutry and took twenty-six prisoners. “The French improved their positions south of tne Aisne, between Passy-en-Valois and Vinly (a front of five miles, bor- dering the American sector on the north], and advanced their line to eastward of the railway between Chezy-en-Ourcg and Vinly. “Southeast of Mosly (west of Soissons) sharp fighting, fol- lowing a German counter-attack, enabled the French to main- tain their new positions and to take 200 prisoners.” The French gains southwest of Soissons on Friday are regarded s of utmost importance. The captured positions, including Laversine, Cutry and Fosse-en-Haut, were powerfully orgaritzed and were necessary to the Germans in their contemplated attack on Compiegne. ITALIANS INCREASE GAINS ON ASIAGO; TAKE 1500 PRISONERS Now Hold Peak of Echele, Col Del Rosso and Monte Valbella, Aided by French. [ITALIAN REPORT] WASHINGTON, July 1.—Reports from Rome to the Italian Em- assy give further details of the fighting on the Asiago Plateau and aa- nounce the number of prisoners has been increased to 1,500, “The Italian troops are now in possession of the peak of Echele, Col del Rosso and Monte Valbella,” the communique stated. ‘“Freneh detachments who co-operated with the Italians fought brilliantly and assisted in the capture of large amounts of boot y, including machine guns, Claim That Commissioner's Act Warrant Hearing Holly Content trench mortars and light and heavy guns.
