LONDON, June 2s-The series of raids
by British patrol detachmen,s continues
against the German front In Flanders
and northern France. OF one point. near
Angres, north Of Souchez. the British

tered by the FIRE uf the British artillery.
II is presumed that one OF the chief OBJ
Jects OF these raids Is to determine the
effect OF the bombardment. which. ac-
cording 10 dispatches from the CORE
spondents on this front. is still going on.
In one of the raids described in the
British official statement, made by IN,
Highland Light Infantry near the road
between Neimslles and La Bassee. the
British detachment took forty-siX pris-
oners. captured two machine guns and
destroyed two German mine shafts with
a total loss OF two men wounded.
The German War Once announces
that these raiding operations undertaken
by the British extended from La Bassec
canal TO the district south OF the Soinme
and were made in conjunction with an
intense artillery fie and mine explosions
and under cover OF smoke and gas
clouds. According 20 the German report,
all the attacks We're repulsed easily.

PARIS. June 2s.-An offensive which so
far has not reached any large proper
tions was instituted by the Germans last
night in the Champagne region and was
continued to-day with an infantry at
tack which succeeded in gaining tempo
rary possession OF some French ad-
vanced posts.
The attack in this district, which is in
the region OF the French offensive OF
last fall. was begun on the 81. Hilaire-
de Grand-S;. Souplet road little west
Of the salient with Tahure in its apex.
This beginning was made by a recon-
NOTHING party Of considerable size, which
was dispersed by the French harrage
fire before II had reached the French
lines,
To-day the German artillery in this
region increased its hombardment. and
following the cannonade infantry was
sent forward, gaining for the moment
a foothold In advanced posts. The Ger
mans were unable to hold this advan'-
age in face OF the French counter at
tacks.
Further progress was made by the
French to-day IN their operations north
Of Hlll 32l. south OF the Thlaumont
farm. and on the borders OF the Thiau-
mont field work. At o'clock this
morning the Germans made two counter
attacks on this. the east bank or the
Neuse. one on the French positions
northeast Of Hill 32l and the other be-
,ween Fleury and the Bois de Naux-
chanitre. Both attacks broke down.
There was heavy fighting last night In
the Thiaumont sector.

The French lines at Avocourt and

garian Governments note that the cap
tain OF the submarine asserted a false
man1uvre on the part OF the steamer
prompted the submarine to continue to
fire.
The captain of the steamer swears
that he informed the commander of the
submarine that he had only suifcien,
provisions to reach the port Of Aigier>
and that he would deliver provisions only
under compulsion. He states positively
in his affidavit and in conversation with
officials of the Department that he did
not give provisions readily nor did he
say II was the duty of one seaman to
help another and that he refused pay
ment because he felt that he was being
compelled to deliver food in violation Of
law. The statement of the captain Of
the Petrolite Is entirely at variance with
the report of the submarine comman nder.
The correctness of the captains :
opinion that the wounded seaman was
held as hostage to guarantee the de-
livery of food seems clear. Obviously
the commander OF the submarine had no
right to order the seaman to remain on
board. The fact that this order was
given showed that the commander in
sisted that food was to be delivered to
him otherwise the seaman would natu-
rally have accompanied the captain back
TO his vessel. The outrageous conduct
of the submarine commander and all the
circumstances OF the attack on the petro-
lite warranted the captain in regarding
himself as being compelled in order TO
avoid further violence to deliver food to
the commander OF the submarine.
