WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES ON THE MARNE, July 2 (Associated Press).—In a brilliant operation, after hard fight- ing, American troops on this front last night captured the village of Vaux, together with a large slice of the Paris Highway west of Chateau-Thierry and two patches of wooded lands. The Americans took 275 German prisoners, including five of- \ficers, and captured a quantity of machine guns and other equip- | ment, (The official Paris report places the number of prisoners at more than 300.) In the Vaux region the Americans took the Germans completely by surprise. Most of the prisoners were taken out of cellars and dugoute. How many Germans were killed is not yet known, but from the number of dead in plain view at various places the total must have beea considerable. So fierce was the attack that many Germans who were in the zone assaulted made their escape by running when the fight got too hot for them and they saw it was impossible either to slow down or halt the American plunge \N. S. AVIATORS FLY OVER BATTLEFIELD. While the artillery preparation was going on many American air \pionts flew high overhead. Some were protecting the observation bul loons while others were combing the skies to keep off enemy machines Early this morning the American pilots again appeared for simila duty and were soon found contesting with the enemy for supremacy ir the air. A number of aerial battles were observed, but reports on the results are not yet available. It was exactly 6 o'clock last evening when the Americans went over the top under the protection of a hail of machine gun bullets from our machine gun barrages. The infantry action was preceded by a terrific artillery preparation. When the Germans saw that a formidable attack was developing many of those in outposts yelled and ran toward the rear {o nests, from which a hot fire began pouring. The Americans paused for a moment while the automatic rifles and }machine guns with the advancing troops fought a duel in front of Vaux priefly, but effectively, with the enemy. Then the Americans, whose number was considerable, went on, most of them running in their eager- ness to get at close quarters with the Germans.
