The Americans have been pressing
the Germans SO hard that the enemy
has been forced to throw three new
divisions of his best troops in the

The Americans are like tigers.

IN THE FACE OF ARTILLERY FIRE

With the American Army on the Mame, June
7.-American marines last night reached the
outskirts of Bouresches, northwest of Chateau
Thierry and poured volleys of machine gun fire
into the enemy inficting terrible casualties. Bay
onets were freely used against the Germans who
made a stand in the streets. At daylight the ma
rines were slowly driving the enemy back from
the village in the face of hot artillery fire and gas
shells. The American artillery was playing an

The American marines, who began their second
attack on the German lines late yesterday cap

Bouresches northwest of ChateauT Thierry this

The plan of the Americans did not include the

BELIEVES ENEMY U-BOATS ARE
BOUND FOR GULF

An Atlantic Port, June THAT
one OF the fleet of German subma-
rines raiding the Atlantic coast
chased a vessel at sea off Frying Pan
Lightship Monday afternoon is the
statement of the captain of one of
the vessels which put into this port
early in the week to escape the sub
marines. The vessel had received
the alarm and had changed her
course when a wireless was picked
up to the effect that vessel was
being chased by submarine, giving
the location as about eight miles
southwest of the ships location.
Nothing further was learned of the
fate of the ship sending the message.
Another of the ships putting in
here this week today sent its pas
sengers numbering forty-three, most
ly women and children to their des-
tinations by rail, a majority of
them going to Philadelphia. The
captain of this vessel states that he
sighted no submarines and picked
up no message. 1t is his belief that
the submarines are en- route to the
Gulf of Mexico to interrupt the oil
traffic out of Tampico and that their
work in North Atlantic. waters Il

BREAKING UP THE ENEMY

With the American Army in
France, Thursday, June 6.-The sec
ond attack made today by the Amer
leans on the German positions north
west of Chateau Thierry early gave
indications that 1t would be as sue
cessful as the morning assault. The
marines reached all their objectives
in the first hour and pushed beyond
them. The early reports indicated
that the Germans were on the run
and are surrendering right and LETT
% the Americans.
One of the toughest of all the OBJ
jectiyes was in Bellieu Wood four
miles from Chateau Thierry which
was also swept by the marines with
out serious trouble. There seems
however to be serious determina-
ton on the part OF the Germans to
return to the fray before long for
at p. m. the road in the rear of the
German lines is full of troops, guns
and wagons. On this however the
American artillery centered with
high explosive shells locating posi-
tions by signals from the allied air
men and there was CONSERVATION
and confusion and much likelihood
that the enemy will not be able to
rally their forces for return attack.

GENERAL WOOD.
TDayenport Tjnles,l

But the general public is anxious to
know the reasons for this apparent dis
elimination. The president as COM
mander- in chief is clothed with this
power with the expectation that he will
use it to the advantage of the nation.
and the general public is inclined to ask
embarrassing questions when IL is dis
ability is sidetracked from the actual
zone OF military operations. What is
the reason? What is the larger thing
to be gained?
1t is suspected that the president
may not like General Wood because he
continued to preach preparedness when
the administration was preaching I'M
preparedness. 1t is possible ne is 10 re-
main in this country because he is too
close a friend of Roosevelt. The effort
to shift the blame 10 General Pershing
