LONDON, July 16.\u2014American troops have recaptured Fossoy and Crezancy towns on the south bank taken yesterday by the Germans when they crossed the Marne.DEFENCE HOLDS UP GERMANS.(Associated Press Despatch) WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE MARNE, July 16, 10.45 a.m.\u2014Word received this morning from the battlefront to the east of Rheims shows that the Allied defence is not only still holding up the German attempts to advance, but appears to have broken the enemy's spirit.#*#*«*\u2022 JAPANESE CABINET HEF.D SPECIAL MEETING BRITISH IMPROVE LINE.LONDON, July 16.\u2014In an operation conducted last night in the region east of Amiens, British improved their line after sharp fighting in the Villers-Bretonneux sector, the War Office announced today.The German guns were busy during the night in the region southwest of Albert and showed some activity at wrious other points on the northern part of the British front.GREAT BATTLE CONTINUES VIOLENTLY American and French Troops are Counter-Attacking Magnificently and Taking Prisoners.(Associated Press Despatch) PARIS, July 16.\u2014The battle continues violently, especially south of the Marne and i the region of Chatillon.Except for one sector south of the Marne there is no change in the situation.American and French troops are counter-attacking magnificently, and are taking many prisoners, according to the statement issued by the War Office today.South of the Marne the Germans have not been able to advance their line beyond St.Agnon.La Chapelle, Monthodon, Lisieres and south of the Forest of Bou-quigny.The French in this region have taken a thousand prisoners.On the front east of Rheims, in spite of terrific fighting during the past day and night, the enemy has not been able to penetrate the French zone of defence.(Associated Press Despatch) TOKIO, Saturday, July 13-i# A specia Imeeting of the Jap- * St anese Cabinet, which was at- # #\ttended by army officers, was St held today, and the newspap- St St ers attach much importance to St St it.It is believed that some St St communication was received' St st from the American Govern- # #\tment concerning intervention St St1 in Russia.\t# #\tSt StStstStstSt*st>fr#%St*StStst FIRST DAY OF OFFENSIVE FAVORABLE TO ALLIES.(Associated Press Despatch) PARIS, July 16.\u2014The first day of the present German offensive clearly is favorable to the Allies, says a semiofficial statement issued late Monday night.The French defensive system has been in no way affected and is still intact.\"While in previous attacks,\u201d the statement says, \u2018\u2018the enemy, thanks to surprise, carried several important positions like the Chemin des Dames and advanced several miles, this time the battle has entailed only fluctuations of a few hundred yards.\u201d \u201cThe failure of the enemy appears all the more striking if the infinitely small results he obtained be compared with the important advantage which he thought he was going to attain.Orders found on prisoners show that the troops of the Crown Prince were to have camped at Epernay on the night of July 15, at Chalons on the 16th, and at Sezanne (26 miles south of the Marne) on the 17th.The imperial general staff left no stone unturned to gain such a decisive success, and 30 to 35 divisions had been put into the line.That is one division to two miles.\u201cThe enemy losses were considerable.One shock division, which according to plan was to have been relieved on the evening of the 15th, had to be sent to the rear to be patched up on the morning of the 15th.East of Rheims, hundreds of German dead hang on the French wire.Beside them are many smashed tanks which the enemy used to support the infantry.\u201cTo sum up, the first day\u2019s operations were perfectly satisfactory.\u201cThe enemy neither surprised our command as to the date nor as to the place of his offensive.\u201d :\tj ; LATEST WAR ; BULLETINS i (Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, July 16.\u2014Great num-bers of German corpses are hanging on the tangle of barbed wire in front of the French positions, and all the j reports state that the losses of the Germans must have been exceedingly ! heavy.PLAN OF CROWN PRINCE WAS TO DRAW OUT ALLIED RESERVES (Associated Press Despatch) ON THE FRENCH FRONT, July 16.\u2014The reason the German infantry did not attack in the vicinity of Rheims probably was because the German Crown Prince, whose armies are bearing the brunt of the.offensive, hoped by attacking each flank to turn the strong position surrounding the cathedral city.The extension of the enemy\u2019s line of attack to the eastern limits of the Champagne seems possibly an endeavor to secure his right flank and to attract Entente Allied reserves from other parts of the front to that battle-ground.The French opposed a firm barrier to any advance in this direction, although the ground in many places was well suited to the use of tanks.GENERAL HORVATH FAVORABLE TO CZECHO-SLOVAKS (Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, July 16 -General Horvath, recently proclaimed ruler of Siberia, says a Pekin despatch to the Times dated July 13, has expressed willingness to facilitate the movement of Czecho-Slovak troops toward the trana-Baikal region over the Chinese eastern railway.THE WEATHER FRENCH OFFICIAL STATEMENT THREW BRIDGE ACROSS MARNE (Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, July 16.-\u2014West of Rheims the enemy attacked in very considerable strength at two places by way of the Marne railway and in the country south of Dormans.In this neighborhood they succeeded in throwing six bridges across the Marne between Reuilly and Dormans, but at no point on this twenty-five mile front has the enemy penetrated more than four miles into the French positions.RTHERLY WINDS AND COOLER.\u2019ORONTO, Ont., July 16.\u2014There is ! a trough of low pressure across Great Lakes, extending from the bwr to the Uuuer Mississippi Val-while in the west and north the ometer is rising, with northerly ds.The weather is fine throughout Dominion except near Lake Hu- ron.Warm and mostly fair, with » Tew local thunderstorms.Wednesday\u2014Northerly\twinds soul cooler.(Associated Press Despatch) PARIS, July 16.\u2014The text of the official French statement reads : \u201cThe battle continues with redoubled violence.Between Chateau Thierry and Rheims the enemy is launching furious attacks.The combats are particularly violent south of the Marne and in the region of Chatillon.\u201cFrench and American troopa are resisting magnificently and connter-a tracking many times with the utmost vigor.\u201cSouth of the Marne the Germans have not been able to advance their lines beyond St.Agnan, La Chapelle, Monthodon.Lisieres and south of the Forest of Bcuquigny.In this region the French have taken 1.000 prisoners.Mareuil-le-Port.on the Marne south of Chatillon, is held by the French.\u201cNorth of the Marne the French have held up the enemy in the outskirts of Chatillon and southeast of the Rodcmat Road.In this region there is no appreciable change in the rest of the line.All German attacks during the course of the night failed.\u201cOn the front east of Rheims, the fighting, while of the utmost violence, was unfruitful, and the enemy during the past day and night has not been able to penetrate the French zone of defence, which runs eastward through Prunay.The battle positions of the French are intact.\u201cThe eneipy losses in prisoners during the first day of the battle have been extremely heavy.\u201d DROP BOMBS ON RED CROSS HOSPITAL.(Attociated Pres* Despatch) PARIS, July 16.\u2014German aviators at eleven o\u2019clock last night dropped bombs on the American Red Cross hospital at Jouy.Two enlisted men were killed and among the personnel nine persons were wounded.Miss Jane Jeffery, an American Red Cross nurse, was among those wounded though her injuries are not serious.FRENCH CRITICS SAY GERMANS FAILED AT START Nowhere Has Enemy Made Any Particular Advance\u2014Beginning Favorable to the Allies, Say Military Writers.(Canadian Press Despatch) PARIS, July 16\u2014 That the Germans failed at the start is the common view of all French military critics and even the most cautious are unable to conceal their satisfaction over the results of Monday\u2019s fighting.\u201cIt would be silly,\u201d says Colonel De Thomasson, \u201cto prophecy after one day\u2019s fighting, but one can certainly say that the beginning was altogether encouraging for us.Nowhere have the Germans made any particular advknc., \u201cEast of Rheims they lost heavily and made practically no progress.West of Dormans they crossed the Marne, but we hold the bridgehead and mean to defend it from the left bank.They, however, soon lost the few miles gained south of the river.There, beside our men were American regiments who bore themselves so that German newspapers can hardly continue the usual twaddle about their new adversary.\u201d Writing in the same tone, Henri Bidou, of the Journal Des Debats, says: \"Whatever local advantages the Germans may have gained, one already has the feeling that the first shock, so redoubtable in an affair of this sort, and in which lies the best chances for the assailant, has been parried, and one has the right to look ahead with confidence.\u201d THE CITY FUEL CONTROLLER IS WR.H.C.KING GERMANS HED EAST OF RHEIMS BY INVINCIBLE RESISTANCE OF FRENCH AND AMERICAN TROOPS STRONG ENEMY RESERVES (Canadian Press Despatch) PARIS, July 16 \u2014 The Germans will continue their offensive as they have concentrated strong reserves in the region of Rethel, northeast of Rheims, says Marcel Hutin, in the Echo De Paris.The reserves, he adds, undoubtedly would be put into the fighting line probably extending the front of attack toward the Ar-gonne.Very Meagre Gathering of Aider-men at the Special Meeting of Council Held Last Night.Mr.Herbert C.King, assistant secretary-treasurer, was knighted fuel controller for the City of Sherbrooke at a special meeting of the Council called last night.It was a very meagre gathering of aldermen that answered when the meeting was called to order by Mayor White, the call of the numerous other attractions quite evidently being too strong for the majority of the city fathers.Together! with Mayor White, Aldermen Edwards, Forest and Fortier were the only members of the select crowd to find their way to the City Offices in answer to the special summons.This little gathering patiently waited until after nine o\u2019clock, hoping that other members of the Council would put in an appearance, but this hope was soon shattered.Consequently those present decided to go ahead with the business on hand, namely, the appointment of a city fuel controller.Mayor White explained that this step was necessary, for the Dominion Fuel Controller refused to recognize any order unless it was signed by a city fuel controller, and fuel must be secured for Sherbrooke.It was therefore decided to appoint Mr.King the fuel controller for the city of Sherbrooke.Mr.King will also continue his present duties.EXPECTHEADOF BOARD TO TAKE UP FISH QUESTION Alderman Skinner Lays Plain Facts of Situation in Sherbrooke Before Chairman Henry B.Thompson.Determined efforts are being made to solve the problem with which the officials interested in the campaign for \"fish at reasonable Prices\u2019\u2019 were confronted when they inaugurated their second move, namely, the failure of the shippers to fill the orders sent by the local dealers.Having failed to secure a suitable answer to his telegram to Mr.Furois, Alderman A.C.Skinner, chairman of the market committee, who is one of the main backers of the campaign in this city, got in touch with Mr.Jones, another official of the Canada Food Board, yesterday.Mr.Jones was given details of the situation here, and he recommended that the facts be placed before Mr.Heney B.Thompson, chairman of the Canada Food Baard.Consequently, Alderman Skinner communicated to the head of the (Continued on page 8.) Nowhere Along Front of Many Miles Did tHe Enemy Succeed in Penetrating More than 4000 Yards\u2014 Brilliant Operations By Americans Succeeded in Throwing Crown Prince\u2019s Troops Across the Marne Near Fossoy\u2014French Aviators Did Great Havoc in Enemy Ranks While Bridges Were Under Construction.(Associated Press Despatch) ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN FRANCE, July 15 (Monday night.) \u2014The impression of the result of the first day\u2019s battle in the new German smash on the French front is very good.Nowhere along the stretch of many miles did the enemy succeed in penetrating more than 4,000 yards, and that was only on a small sector in the neighborhood of Mariaux, southwest of Rheims, although orders found on German prisoners announced that the first day should take tnem twenty kilometres from tue Lont line of departure.On the battlefront cast of Rheims the enemy did not even get beyond the advanced line, the invincible resistance of the French troops preventing him from attaining (he main combat line.With the French on the section west of Rheims fought American and Italian troops, both of i whom vied with the other allies keenness and courage.BRILLIANT OPERATION BY AMERICANS.It was a brilliant operation which the American troops ejected the enemy from the positions he had gained temporarily on the southern side of the Marne.The Americans counter-attacked vigorously this evening with remarkable dash, throwing the Germans back across the river near Fossoy.Earlier in the day this part of the line had been the scene of the most in m ia at first succeeded in getting over boats, chasing the allied troopc awayj from the banks while the Germanf engineers began to lay the brifiguaj Six of these bridges formed a lattice work and rapidly joined the banks on either side.Two of the bridges were most substantial structures, and between 20 and 30 feet in width.FRENCH AVIATORS PLAY HAVOC French airplanes played great havoc in the German ranks while the bridges were under construction.One bombing squadron, flying at a height of 200 metres, dropped bombs on two of the bridges while enemy troops were crossing.The bridges were broken and the soldiers thrown in the river.The aviators constantly bombed the other bridges and did great execution among the Germans on ths bridges as well as on the banks where the Germans concentrated in great masses.ENEMY RETIRED PELL-MELL.When the Germans had crossed the river and the fighting, which was already heavy, became terrific, the French and Americans holding the southern side fell back énto their principal combat position!.They fought all the way and counterattacked occasionally, creating concision in the ranks of the âdvanclng) foe.Then, late in the evening the Am-» ericans started a dashing counter- desperate fighting, when the Germans blow, which resulted in the Germane started to throw pontoons across retiring pell-mell to the river.THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE SIR EDMUND WALKER, C.V.O.LLD., D.C.L, President H.V.F.JONES, Au't Gen'L Manager SIR JOHN AIRD.Genera!

were made faint that Sunday night and Monday and were felt rather than heard.An intermittent dull muttering, punctuated by occasional heavier thunders from the French heavies, kept up during the night.Houses in the suburbs were shaken slightly, but in some places the rocking of the earth was sufficient to displace pictures on the walls.-«- EXPECT HEAD BOARD TO TAKE UP FISH QUESTION (Continued from page One) ! board as follows: Sherbrooke, July 15, 1918.Mr.Henry B.Thompson, Chairman of Food Board, Ottawa, Ont., Canada.Dear Sir\u2014About three weeks ago we were visited by Messrs.Jones and Furois of your board, who, in eloquent addresses, urged the consumption of more fish.We were informed that the city should buy fish more freuqently and more freely, and that the Food Board would guarantee an emple supply of absolute fresh fish at low prices, and would also guarantee quick and low-priced transportation.The market committee, of which I am chairman, was charged with the duty of co-operating with the Food Board in every way possible.Within a few hours we engaged a suitable room in a cold storage plant adjacent to the public market.I then visited all the dealers who had previously signed a petition requesting the city's assistance, and got them to pool their orders of cod and haddock for one week through one of their number.This order, totalling about 1,300 pounds, was phoned into Montreal, but they refused to accept it, saying that there wag no haddock to be had on account of a storm, but plenty of cod, and that for an order of that amount a reduction of half a cent per pound would be made.We then \u2019phoned our dealers and had them change their orders so as to include more cod.and this order was sent in by Mr.Choquette, the dealer who it was agreed should do the ordering.I then got the papers to push cod for Wednesday, as we were trying to popularize Wednesday as a fish day.The papers did their part well, and the public responded nobly.However, when Wednesday arrived we only had received about 300 pounds of haddock and no cod at all.The following week I asked the dealers to send in their orders individually, as there seemed to be little or no saving in the small quantities we were using.Very little cod or haddock was received, and some that was received was so bad that we had to have it seized and burned.On June 29 I sent a long letter to ; Mr.Furois, asking for general information as to how to conduct this campaign, which I anticipated would ; be transferred to my committee.X also asked him several definite questions.Nine days later I received a ; short reply, stating that he had been ; away and suggesting that someone be sent to Montreal to see how the fish business was conducted there.On July 9 I replied to Mr.Furois, giving him our position, and stating that I did not see where a trip to Montreal would be of any assistance, but if that was what was needed, to make arrangements to meet me and telegraph a date.My next reply was a wire asking me to telegraph my reply, as he was leaving town.I replied: \u201cMailed letter last night.Arrange to have some forwarded.We have not.been able to get sufficient fish and require assistance.\u201d The reply read:\t\u201cWaiting letter and will at once do all I can,\u201d and later, \"Letter received.If you will tell me who has been dealing with you and all other particulars, I will quickly ascertain what went wrong and what should be done In the fu-Iture, or else you get In personal touch with the large shippers, whose offices are In Montreal, namely, Button, of the Maritime Fish Corporation, friend of Food Board.\u201d I I replied: \u201cInformation re fish sup-' ply came from Maritime Fish Corporation, from whom we ordered cod and received none.Think yon should .come to Sherbrooke at once.\u201d This wire was sent to Mr.Furois last Thursday morning, the IXth Inst., and I have not heard any further word from him.This morning Mr.Jones 'phoned me from Montreal and Inquired how we were getting along, and on receipt of the Information given above, asked me to send you a letter stating the facts.Both the public and the newspapers have, shown a disposition to meet the wishes of the Food Board, and the dealers also are willing to give every assistance In their power, but wo can do nothing without an adequate sup-ply of perfectly fresh fish at low prices, as promised.» The setback we have received will make.It necessary that special cooperation and assistance bn furnished I Hherbrooke If your wishes for a greater ctmsumptlon of fish are to be carried out here, Yours very truly, A.C, SKINNER.MORE GERMAN TREACHERY ON BATTLEFRONT Enemy Had Airplanes Modelled After that Used By American Airmen to Attack Observation Battalion.SAME SCALE OF WAGES AS IN AMERICA (Associated Press Despatch) WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE MARNE, July 16.\u2014Five German airplanes, modelled after the machines the American aviators are using, and carrying American insignia on the wings, attacked one of the American sausages, south of Chateau Thierry last evening and managed to get so close under the disguise that they were able to lire incendiary bullets into the balloon, which burst into flames.The occupants of the sausage, however, made their escape by means of parachutes.Seventeen American pursuit planes left the ground and when last seen they all were fighting well inside the enemy lines.Along the front as far as the eye can see the big guns were still flashing and roaring, and the battle gave no sign of diminishing.American staff officers, nevertheless, expect that the position will be even more improved in a short while.The Germans apparently deliberately attempted to shell several of the American hospitals near the Marne front yesterday.A number of shells fell intermittently a short distance from them.They did no damage, beyond disturbing the patients.G.N.W.STRIKE Every Employee on Canadian Railways Would Get an increase\u2014 Announcement By War Board.OTTAWA, July 16\u2014To every railway employee in Canada, male and female, whether members of a labor organization or not, the Railway War Board, representing all the roads in the Dominion, both privately owned and Government owned, will offer an increase in wages in accordance with the terms of the McAdoo award in the United States.Not only will it propose to introduce that scale as it now stands, but it will also agree to adopt any amendments which may hereafter be made to it a sa result of present negotiations between certain railway organizations and the Government of the United States.This announcement was made late last night at the conclusion of a conference between the Canadian Railway Board and the members of the Cabinet.By placing wages on Canadian railways on a parity with those on roads in the United States, it is hoped that labor disputes here will be averted.VICTORY LOAN COUPONS HAVE NOT BEEN CASHED MACHINISTS AND WORKMEN We have in
