FRENCH DEPUTIES
UPHOLD The NAVY

Paris, June 11.--After a two days
session, during which Admiral La
Gaze, minister of marine, and the con-
duct Of the navy were under fire, es-
pecially on account of merchant ma
rine losses, the chamber of deputies
voted confidence in the government by
$40 to ITS.
The bulk of the attack In the clos
ing session centered on the alleged
laxity of measures taken to combat
submarines, including reproaehes that
the budget did not provide sufficient
ly for antisubmarine measures.
Premier Ribot, in defense OF the
government, declared that the sub
marine war had surprised the navies
OF all the allies. He did not deny
the peril and asked for increased
credits to meet this new form of war

London, June 11.-General Haig' S
evident purpose to give no rest to the
Germans before the British front in
Belgium and Northern France has
has new exemplification. His
troops struck at the German positions
around Lens On two-mile front,
south of the Souchez river, the enemy
lines were penetrated to a depth of
more than half mile and successful
operations were carried on further
north as far as La Bassee.
The field of this attack lies from
fifteen to twenty miles south Of that
of the big drive made by the British
In Belgium Thursday, which resulted
I'm the capture of the commanding
Wytschaete- -Messines ridge and the
elimination of one of the most an
noying salients in the entire line on
the Western front.
Somewhat widely separated as are
the two fields of attack they bear re
lation to each other OF constituting
points of which the great manutactur
Ing district of Northern France, cen
tering in Lille, may be subjected to
alternating pressure.
Already the Arras battle, of which
this latest development is a continue
ton, has made serious inroads on the
major defenses Of this region. The
fall of Lens, the great coal city just
Before the British lines at this point
has long been conceded to be only 9
matter of time.
The latest movement apparently
means that this is near and that an
other great blow is about ready to be
struck toward clearing the Germans
from their long held and much prfzet
French possessions In this area.
