THE GERMAN FAILURE
ATTACK^ IN THE CHAMPAGNE REPULSED
VALUABLE RESULTS OF FRENCH EFFORTS
' . .' , ■ LONDON, 17th July. General Sixfc yon Arnim's army has been definitely thrown into the battle eastward of Reims.
■ ' „. . . , LONDON, 17th July. General yon Ernem (? Armm) delivered five fierce onslaughts yesterday between the Suippes Valley and Massiges. They were magnificently repulsed, with the heaviest German losses. The German tanks failed, our anti-tank guns and land mines destroying many. The French losses were absurdly light, but further fighting in this sector is expected. The Germans' farthest advance in the Mame Valley is six miles. A French counter-attack south of Dormans achieved most valuable results. They advanced over three thousand yards and recovered the heights, bringing the German bridges under an effective fire from 6-inch gun batteries. There is accumulating evidence of the seriousness of the enemy's failure. The Germans claim thirteen thousand prisoners, blrt that is believed to be a wild exaggeration. The Allies' captures have not -yet been counted.
