Entire Teuton Regiment
Virtually Annihilated
In The Bitter Fighting
WITH THE AMERICAN FORGES ON THE MARNE,
July 2 An entire Gorman regiment has been virtually an
nihilated in the fighting: west of Hill 204, according to offi
cial Information.
Tho total number of Germans captured by tho Ameri
cans Is now estimated to number 500, including seven offi
cers. Tho fighting qualities of the Americans were certi
fied to by virtually all the prinoncrs taken. They said tho
Americans fought like wild men, sweeping everything be
fore them ns they plunged over the ground
So fierce was the attnek that many Germans who were
in tho zone assaulted made their oscapo by running when
the fight got too hot for them and they saw it was impos
siblo either to slow down or halt tho American plunge.
Many groups of nri.toncrs have been sent to tho rear.
Others have been located In hospitals where thoy wore
taken niter being wounded.
Tho Gorman counter attack which was fiercely conduct
ed, was launched against tho American positions at 3 o'clock
this morning. . It resulted in the Americans further Incrcas
ing their number of prisoners. Virtually the remainder of
the enemy attacking force was annihilated.
