Chateau Thierry
Associated Prsss summary.

In the Marne battlefield, where a
week ago the Germans were hurting
masses OF troops against the western
side wedge they had driven into the
Allied lines, Teutons are now standing
virtually on the defensive in the Cha
teu Thierry sector.
American and French troops are par
ticipating in this reaction on the ex-
treme tip of the salient, and are max
ing progress In this important region.
The British are engaged on the other
side OF the wedge, between the Marne
and Rheims

cred from the enemy.
Washington. June S.-Printed re-
ports that a number OF soldiers in
southern camps are stricken by dengue
fever. q tropical disease resembling
typhoid. Is officially denied by Surgeon
General Gorgas. 1t was said the med
icaI authorities had failed to find a
single trace of the disease.
Reports from the whole battle line
in France are to the effect that there
has been a renewed activity on the
part of German artillery in several
sectors OF the front. Notable among
the regions under bombardment Is a
line between Noyon and Montdidier.
IT is along this line that a heavy enc
my offensive has been expected by
military experts since the momentum
OF the Aisne advance died away. At
the same time large movements of
enemy troops in the direction of st.
Mfhiefhas been reported by aerial OBJ
servers. and there are indications that
American positions along this part of
the front may be a storm center of a
terrific attack soon.
