Counter-Attack in the
at Vi'lgily.
(By The Associated Press.)
In spite of the desperate elforts
of the Germans to bring up rc-
Serves and stabilize the fines on
each side of the salient from Sols-
sons,‘to Rheims, the Allies appear
to be pressing forward in vital
sectors ml the front south of Scis-
sons and near Rheims.
Following its policy of conserve»
tism, the French War Oflicc re-
ports nothing but heavy artillery
fire around the salient and the re-
pulse of a German counterattack
inthe region of Vrigny, five mile
southwest 'of Rheims. Nothing is
said as to progress against the in-
creased German resistancc north
of the Marne, nor is there mom
tion of thesituation north
Montdidier, where on Tuesday
morning the French took positions
dominating long reaches of the
Avre river. ' ‘
From unoflicial sources it i
s re-
weather of
the past few days had slowed up
the fighting between Soissons‘ and
Rheims, and probably also liad re-
tarded the
Prince’s forces were caught by
General Mangin’s thrust against
‘thc western side of the salient. Al-
lied airmen report conditions back
'of the German lines as indicative
of a German retreat as far north
as the Veslc River. The line of the
(311ch has been virtually‘render’ed
