WITH THE AMERICANS, July 30— Because the
French and Americans found an immense quantity of Gor
man war stores when they captured the forest of Fereriz,
military officers believe that the Allied offensive nipped
the plans for a German drive up the Epernak. The forest
was surrounded and captured. The sector north of the
Marne was virtually one great arsenal. Shells were piled
like eordweod in places. The Allies gathered the captured
shells for use later against the Germans.

during the night and this forenoon very heavily along vir
tually the entire battle front and especially heavy attacks
against the American sectors. The Germans drove the
Americans from the village of Circges, five miles south
east of Fereetardenois and drove them back also from Bui
•gneux, northwest of Fereentardenois.
Fighting is now heavy near Buzancy, five miles
