American troops have captured in excess of 17,000 prisoners and more than 360 guns. Unofficial reports in Paris are to the effect that the captures are much in excess of the official estimate. Much material not yet enumerated and many hundreds of machine guns also have been taken.

Berlin, apparently fceltovlrtjf that the allied offensive is in great strength tells of the repulse of efforts to break through. Although vigorously denying that the allies broke through, it admits that the German lines have been driven back and that it was necessary to throw in large reserves to keep the allies from making a large hole in the German defense between the Aisne and Marne. No mention is made of American troops.,

Elserwhere on th* SofSBons-Chateau Thierry-Rheims triangle the fighting has died down* The situation with the allies hoiaingr firmly depends upon the outcome of the stroke on the west. Berlin's view of the fighting there is that th£ Germans had to put down strong allied attacks Thursday. Seemingly therefore, the Germans have given up further attempts astride the Marne and they have not reacted against the French attack which drove them westward from Montvoisin.

Further violent fighting is anticipated in the battle triangle, as it is not improbable the Germans will make every effort to nullify Gen. Foch's strategy and prevent the allies from wiping out the salient between Solssons and Rheims, which becomes more gravely endangered as the French and Americans move forward.

Offensive In Bad W»^.

$he German offensive, begun Monday, is In a bad way and the enemy will make furious attempts to save the reputation of the crown prince, already serlaus marred by the successful allied counter blow. Berlin says 20,000 prisoners were taken in the four days beginning Monday, while the allies have taken more than 17,000 in two days, and a great number of guns.

The battle line is hot yet clearly outlined, but runs almost straight north from Torcy to Caudun, where it bulge* northeastward toward Soissons. The greatest gain has been about seven miles on the north.

In a brilliant local operation !n Flanders, Scottish troops have occupied Meteren, which is on a height commanding a part of the L»ys valley. They took 300 prisoners. Just south of Meteren Australian troops have advanced slightly and captured 80 Germans. On the other battle tronts there is little activity.

British aviators have bombed German manufacturing cities in the Rhine district

Still Pushing to East.

Over the greater part of the line between the Aisne and the Marne the French and Americans are still pushing eastward. Their most pronounced" new progress appears has been chiefly on the more southerly part of the line, the dash into the northern sector having apparently slowed up somewhat.

The allied forces control the plauteau to the southwest of Soissons. This important town, h9wever, is still holding out.

Further south the allied advance has established itself at the village of Vierzy, has passed the Mauloy wood east of Villers-Helon, and has driven to the towns of Neuilly-St. Front and Licy-Clignoit. T'he oapture of NeuillySt. Front, one of the most Important

Little Journey to Chateau Theirry Here Are the Railroad Yards Where the American Soldiers Detrain

RAILROAD STATION AND ENTRANCE TO CHATEAU THIERRY.

The railroad station and entrance 1 to Chateau Thierry on the Marne river has been the scene of violent fiphting I on the part of the allies 4.o hold it against the Hun hordes. Chateau Thierry is at the southern end of the great counter offensive launched July

It is believed that one result of the counter blow will be to decrease the danger of its capture by a possible terrific thrust by the Germans. The fact that it is a railroad center makes it a valuable military point.

towns in the field of the advance south of the Ourcq, was officially announced this morning. 'v.

Bring Up Reserves

Disptches said the fighting today Was spreading southward toward Cha-teau-Thierry. Indications were, it was stated, that a great battle all along the Aisne-Marne line seemed to be impending, the Germans having brought up reinforcements in an effort to stop the steady push of the allies.

South of the Marne there has been a tightening of the defensive and along the 14 1-2 mile front between Fossoy and Oeuilly where the Germans are fighting with the river at their backs.

Attacks by the French last night' catised the Germans to fail back still farther along this -line. 4

During the fighting early this week. American troops retook Fossoy and were mentioned as being engaged in the battle along the heights east of that place. They are therefore, probably engaged in the advance officially reported from Paris. Oueilly marks the apprbxirtiate point where the German line crosses the Marnl and turns northeast over the rolling hills toward Rbeims.

Frenoh Are Conservative, pursuing the policy of the conservatism the French war office makes no extreme claims of victory along the Aisne-Marne front. The front, as delineated in reports, leaves the CTignon river near Torcy, runs north through Licy-Clignon and Neuilly-St. Front, turns slightly to the east of Mauloy wood thence north of Vierzy and uip over the higher ground to the hills southwest of Soissons.

The actual results oiflcially announced as achieved, however, was important territory taken and .more than 18,000 prisoners and &0 guns captured constitute in themselves a decidedly brilliant success for the Franca-American drive to date.

AMSTERDAM, July 20.—A semiofficial telegram from Berlin while admitting that "the enemy has Succeeded in penetrating into and pressing back our lines at some points" avoids particulars of ths allied success. The telegram calls the Franco-American offensive "a relief offensive brought about by .the German offensive on both sides of Rheims," and adds: "We clearly are only at the beginning of the greatest battle in the entire history of the world.

Most severe fighting still lies ahead. It would be presumptuous and in bad taste to talk now about the fresh destruction of enemy fighting forces."

in& that the cruiser Was sunk by a drifting mine or by an internal explosion, despite reported statements of survivors that what appeared to be a periscope was sighted.

It was reiterated toda^ that the military loss in the sinking of the San Diegp was small, the cruiser being one of a comparatively old type, having been built in 1899. However, the San biego was the first major warship to be lost since the United States entered the war.

The San Diego was sunk at 11:30 a. m., Tuesday, about ten miles southeast of Fire Island light, which is off the Long Island shore, about 50 miles east of the entrance to New York harbor and on the marine highway of the trans-Atlantic ships bound in and out of the port.

ENEMY STRENGTH TO TAX POWER OF AWES

^LONDON, Jhly 20.—It is recognized everywhere that the Germans have the power to concentrate strength for a thrust that will tax the allies' defense to the utmost. Notwithstanding their losses, the Germans are believed to have at their disposal at least i£rty divisions and unless or until these are beaten the situation of the allies must, it is contended, be ohe of suspense and anxiety, affording no ground for over elation or excessive confidence.

ClARK-GOSNELL CASE STIRS KPDEEPINTEREST

Continued From Page One.

fort to save Frank "Buster" Clark and "Kddie" Gosnell from the penitentiary. Clark and Gosnell for years have bten two influential politicians In the red light district and seemingly still have strong influences at tnoi-* eoramsni!.

Clark is on tHal for grand larceny, being charged with operating a fence for the receipt of stolen automobiles and tires.

A surprising turn came In the case yesterday when Attorney John Gerdink, suddenly appeared in the case, as attorney for two soldier witnesses, said to be very important witnesses said that he was their legal representative and demanded that they stand on their constitutional rights, thus shutting off their evidence against Clark.

These witnesses, Johnson and Brannln, were indicted along with Clark and Gosnell, in connection with the alleged stealing, receiving and concealing of the auto casings. Captain John Smock is said to have obtained a confession from the men at police headquarters and they are supposed to have testified before the grand jury that they stole the tires and turned them over to Clark and Gosnell, but this confession and the grand jury testimony can not be qsed as evidence in court. The state's evidence has been founded, it is said, on the testimony of Johnson and Brannin.

There was a tense situation In the court room Friday, once when Johnson demanded his constitutional rigl .ts and again when Brannin repeated the action. Attorney John Gerdink was representing the men and he defied the court to make them testify, telling the men on the stand not to answer, but to go to jail first. At one time Judge Hunt announced that he did not want any attorney interferring with the court proceedings and the question was put to the witness. Gerdink again demanded his clients' rights. The court called for the sheriff and every one waited for some sensational action, but nothing occurred.

The cases against Johnson and Brannin have been dismissed in Vigo county owing to their having been in jail through three terms of court without being tried, but they are still facing indictments in Sullivan county and as Attorney Blankenbaker stated: "These men might have been promised immunity here by Captain Smock and O'Mara and Piety, but who is going to look after Prosecuting Attorney

Pigg

in Sullivan county." The auto tires found at Oakview, said to be the Clark-Gosnell road house, and which was supposed to have been stolen by Johnson and Brannin and received and concealed by Clark and Gosnell were Introduced as evidence in court and were Identified by Smock and the owner, W. D. Bolinger, of Farmersburg, but Smock admitted that he had never seen Clark at Oakview and he did not know who owned and run the place and that some Mexicans were in charge there when he got the tires and that he arrested another man for the offense Clark is charged with.

Smock's Teatimony.

Polioe Officer Jack Smock was placed on the stand when Brannin was excused. He stated on being examined by Prosecutor Piety that he had been on the police force for the past fourteen years, serving as both patrolman and captain. He said he was captain during the summer of 1917. He testified that he had known "Buster" Clark for 20 years and that Clark had been in the saloon business at Second and Cherry streets and at Thirteenth and Hawthorn streets. The defense objected, saying that a man could run only one saloon at a time, but the objection was overruled.

Smock stated that he was up at the Oak View road house on Aug 14, looking for auto tires and gambling paraphernalia, and that Detective Armstrong and Burke, and Patrolman Jess^ Walker were with him. He said they foqnd nineteen auto tires upstairs in the attic of the place. He stated that some Mexicans occupied part of the house, the lower floor. He testified that beside the nineteen auto casings he found four slot machines and one wheel of fortune. The defense objected to this, as well as all other questions, stating that the question was asked for the purpose of prejudicing the jury against the defendant. He said they took the tires to police headquarters. The bailiff was ordered to bring in the tires and fourteen casings were brought into the court room.

Smock produced a piece. of paper with the numbers of the tires on them and proceeded to identify the tires, although every question put to him by the state was objected to, but Judge Hunt ruled in favor of the state.

Judge Henry Enter*.

Judge J. W. Henry entered during the identification proceedings and Attorney Blankenbaker stated that they would like to have him ordered from the room as they might want to use him as a witness in the case and they would not want him to hear Smock's testimony. Judge Hunt asked i£ he had been subpoenaed, and when the defense replied that he had not, he ruled against the defense, and Judge Henry remained. Blankenbaker stated at this time that Clark had never had anything to do with the house in which the tires were found.

Smock said he had known Bollinger since Aug. 14, 1917, when he had sent for him, telling him he had located his tires. He stated that Bollinger came to police headquarters and identified the tires from their numbers and make.

The defense took up the cross-exam-ination of the witness. In reply to Blankenbaker's questions. Smock said that he had been a police captain during Gossom's administration, but had been reduced to the ranks when Hunter came into office. He stated that he did not really know who owned the place where the tires were found and that he had never seen Clark around there, but that some Mexicans seemed to be in charge of the nlace. He said he arrested the Mexican at the time he got the tires and brought him to police headquarters, where he placed a charge of concea'lng the tires against him and he did not know what became of the case. The defendant then

that Smock's testimony be stricken out because he was ignorant of who owned the place where the tires were found, but the motion was overruled. Piety again questioned Smock and he stated that he thought the legal title to the place had been transferred from Clark to Gosnell.

The recorder's "rfefttH w9s prQrtrie^d and entered in evidence, and when read it showed that the Oakview property had been transferred from George E. Gosnell to Frank "Buster" Clark.

W. D. Bollinger was called to the stand. He testified that he had been in the garage business at Farmersburg for fifteen years and said 62 auto casings had been stolen from his place, Friday, July 13, 1917. He said he had gone to police headquarters and identified the tires there as the ones stolen from him. He then identified the tires in court as the ones stolen from him.

Admit Tires Stolen*

W. D. Bollinger was called back"to the stand shortly after court convened, Saturday morning, and when the tires were brought in their identification was continued. After some delay, Attorney Blankenbaker arose and stated: "To save the JtifT, the eourt an« the attorneys' time and trouble and Mr. Piety especially the trouble of rolling the tires around the court room, the defense will admit that the tires belong to Mr. Bollinger and were stolen from his garage in Farmersburg. The state refused to take this advantage, saying they would prosecute the case in their own way.

The tires were examined bjr the Jurymen one at a time while the attorneys for the defense made remarks concerninig Piety. "Judge," said Blankenbaker, "it seems to me that this is a nonsensical performance." After the jury examined the tires, a towel was procured and passed to the jurymen to wipe their hands. Blankenbaker stated that O'Mara ought to be made to pass a pan of water. The court at this time said that there would have to be more order in the court room. Notwithstanding, Blankenbaker proceeded with his "goat getting" at Mr. piety's expense, and soon had the entire court room In laughter.

The state questioned the witftess about the robbery. Finally they passed the witness and the defense excused him without a question.

James E. Bollinger, brother of W. D. Bollinger was placed on the stand and was questioned regarding the robt»ery. The defense objected time and again, saying that the state was merely trying to kill tihie aitd Whitlock stated that he could understand that they could afford to stall along, for thrfy got $10,000, but he still could not understand why they should take up the valuable time of the Jury, themselves and the court by killing time for some Unknown reason. y Detective Burke Called.

Three state witnesses, W. D. Bolinger, James Bolinger and Detective Sam Burke were examined Saturday morning and It seemed from progress made that the state was trying to delay the trial for some unknown reason. The most important witness, Burke, testified about the same as Captain Smock and at the present time the state's evidence apT»ars weak.

An effort made by the state to have the case continued at Saturday noon until Monday morning fell through. The defense objected to almost every question put to witnesses by the state and when questions are not asked charge the state with delaying t&a trial.

City Detective Sam Burke testified that he knew where the Oakview road house was and that Buster Clark and Eddie Gosnell owned the place. He described the location of the plaoe and told of going to the place on Aug. 14, 1917, with Capt. Smock, Armstrong and Jess Walker. Piety then ordered the clerk to issue a subpoena lor Jess Walker. He told of finding 19 tires in the attic of the place and despite the defense's objection, that he was trying to prejudice the Jury, stated that he found some gambling paraphernailla there. He stated that a Mexican named Emanuel Alanso lived in the house. From then on during the state's questioning of the witness the defense urged them to hurry and objected to their delay. O'Mara replied once that this was the first time he had known the defense to be in a hurry. Blankenbaker stated that the newspapers nad charged the defenso with trying to delay the case and that now he would like to see the state hurry. Burke testified that some other tires belonging to a Mr. Trueblood of West Terre Haute were found in the house.

O'Mara arose at this time anrt that court be adjourned until Monday morning, as he had important business to attend to and it would not materially affect the case to go over until then. While he was doing thia, Blankenbaker started to question the witness and Piety objected to it. The court soon got things straightened out and the state turned the witnesa over to the defense.

Blankenbaker arose and stated that the defense sternly objected to the trial going over until Monday morning. He said they had wanted the whole thing to go over until September and the sta.te had objected, and now that they were in it he wanted to hurry and get through with it. Ho said it was a nice day and they ought to take advantage of it. O'Mara repeated his reasons and Judge Walker arose and stated that as far a.s business reasons were concerned, the attorneys for the defense had been discommoded also. "Blankenbaker lost his oats crop, as a result of this trial." he said. "His wild ones or his tame onea?** asked Judge Hunt. When quiet was restored, Blankenbaker stated that it was "no lie," that he had suffered greatly.

The jndjf# stated tfmt TNe %*d had in mind working hard Saturday and adjourning court until Tuesday morning, but to go ahead with the trial and' the question would be settled later. "Tn whose possession were the tires.
