WITH THE AMERICANS ON the
MARINE, Juno 10. q p. m.)-The
Americans holding the three mile
front between Bouresches and Torcy,
repuised two German attacks In their
twelfth day and night Of fighting.
They took fifty prisoners, Including
captain, and captured q number OF
machine guns. Tho enemy suffered
heavy casualties.
There were some American victims,
chiefly from the heavy bomhardmene
Of 1ouresches last night.
The prisoner haul resulted from =
company Of Boehes quietly fitterfn0
into ravine to the left Of 6elIeau
wood. The Auericans out them on
and after q brief fight, the German
captain surrendered.
The bonbardment Of Bourescfses,
In which some EIGHT inch shells were
used, was believed to pressa0e m at
tack in force. But the only fighting
that followed was when a company OF
Germans appeared at tho edge Of the
city early this morning, due to losing
their way.
When discovered the Germans
souoht to attack. Their puonacity
lasted only few minutes before the
witherinq fire poured into them by
tho Americans. They fled, leaving
the ground strewn with dead.
Four hundred mounted Germans
were sighted south Of EtrepiIIy two
miles northeast Of Bouresetes) yes
terday evening. An American battery
scattered them with heavy losses.
The twelve days work Of our troops
in this vicinity has led the command
ing general to report that 'tthe con-
duct Of the men is magnificent"
There are numerous evidences OF
the arrival Of a fresh German dtvIs-
ion $4,000 men) opposite this sector.
1t has not yet been identified.
Much has been made Of Americas
acceptance OF the brigading Of her
troops with the French and British.
It is now possible to tell Of French
troops, In at least one instance, ac-
cepting a reverse arrangement. Unit
ed States regiments, together with a
regiment Of French zouaves and
French artillery, compose division
commanded by an American general.

The division Is holding an import
ant sector on the Marne river, which
has been comparatively quiet ever

The Bolsheviki declare there is no

When l stopped in Helsingfors har-
Dor, enroute here from Petrograd, I
learned authoritatively that 10000
German troops now are in Finland.

The question is why these prepara-

STOCKHOLM, June 13.-The grow

"The situation in Austria-Hungary

food situation is always worse than it

ment under pressure Of the January
strikes, gave the workmen many food
promises None of these was fulfilled.
They were given expectation of food
from Ukraine which, in view OF the
increasing revolts against the central

WASHINGTON, June 13.-The
American government is striving hard
to make some arrangements whereby
aid, even troops, may be sent to Rus
sia under Russian-American leader
ship.
Russia will not approve any expe-
dition under Japanese leadership. The
country now looks to the United
States as its best friend. The facts
reached the United Press today from
a reliable source.
The government plans to be able to
announce July four that a million men
have left American ports for Europe.
Thereafter it will have to cut down
on the pace set in May and June
records so that supplies can be for
warded.
This will give the opportunity OF
aiding Russia with other troops. Many
difficulties stand in the path, it is ad-
mitted, but the government leaders
are doing their utmost to reach so
luton.
The United Press IS able to state
that the tentative proposal which has
received greatest support here shapes

Huns back across the Matz river and
recapturing two villages.

troops broke up violent German at
tack on mile front between Bour-

Scent lstvan in the Adriatic.
Price is TOO Great.
[By J. W. T. Mason. United Press War
Expert1
NEW YORK, June 13.-The German
effort to capture Compiegne has been
definitely halted. The price in human
lives appear too great for Won linden
burg to pay at the moment.
The German offensive has now been
shifted south of'the Aisne about mid
way toward Chateau-Thierry. Paris
is still the objective but instead of
continuing his effort to reach the capi-
tai along Won K1uclz's old pathway
through Compiegne, Hindenburg is
seeking new road about fifteen miles
to the east, along the Paris Scissors
railway.
To make an effective start along
this route Hindenburg must first cap
ture the forest of villers-C -Cotterets
This is very strong natural position
about ten miles long and five miles
deep. It provides splendid shelter for
artillery and especially for machine
gun nests. Hindenburg cannot hope
to take the forest, except at fright
full cost in casualties.
General Foch can well afford to
abandon little territory in this sec
tor if he thereby entices Hindenburg
into consenting to further bloody sac
rifices. The struggle for Compiegne
has been distinct allied victory up to
the present because Of the successful
adoption of this program by General
Foch. The territory north of Com
piegne now in Hindenburg's posses
sion is no more than burial ground
given to the German dead. The slight
progress made by the Germans toward
viIlersiCotterets has the same sisnifi-
canoe.
1t is unfortunate for the German
militarists that the serious check Hin
denburg has experienced before Com
piegne should coincide with the boast

war BREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays $2OO,OOO,OOO toward the cost OF
that nations war bread. That Is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than in America. incidentally the
British bread Is much poorer than the
American. ....
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain, bought at an arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought In markets Of the world at pre-
vailing prices. This Is turned over to
the mills by the government at Q price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf of four pounds to sell at 10 cents.
The two pound loaf costs 8 cents, and
the one pound loaf sells for cents,
In milling, however, IA per cent.
more -four Is extracted from the wheat
than In America. And there Is COM
pulsory adulteration Of 20 per cent.
and an allowable adulteration Of 80
per cent.
Compared with American bread. the
British product is only about IS per-
cent. pure at its best.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with larger extrac-i
ton, the four pound loaf sells for 16,
cents.
