Cohette Wood, further south, has been occupied by the Allies, who captured two field guns, two six-inch cannon and much am munition in this wood, In the region north of the Ris forest there were some very furious combats which lasted several hours and resulted in the Allies gaining possession of Champvoisy.

LONDON, July 29.—The French and Americans have advanced three miles on a 20-mile front since Sunday noon, it was learned from an authoritative source this after- noon. The Allies now hold all of the Rheims-Dormans high- way and the whole north bank of the Ourcq. The French won ground to-day on the important front be- tween Soissons and the Ourcq, on the German right flank. Launching a new attack this morning near Grand Rozoy, they ad- vanced a half mile. The high ground here already is in French hands. Fighting was still proceeding at last reports, received in London late this afternoon. Germans are reported to be burning the villages of Guery- Housse, Tannieres and Charive—on a line between Fismes and Soissons. The French took Buzancy yesterday, capturing 200 prisoners, but were unable to hold it. The Americans met Germany’s finest regiments in battle | south of Sergy last night, where the enemy threw in the whole | fourth division of Prussian Guards in a desperaate counter-attack. | Advices reaching London this afternoon show that the Americans | stood like a stone wall, brought the Germans to a clean stop and inflicted the Beaviest losses upon them. The heaviest fighting of the last twenty-four hours occurred in this sector last night against the French and the Americans. | Sergy, after having been taken and lost four times was in Allied | hands to-day.
