New York, June 10.-Continua-
ton of the American assaults
northwest of Chateau Thierry can
be expected if General Foch wishes
to persist in his efforts to shove
the Germans back from the Marine
and re-establish the availability of
the Marine communications.
The immediate purpose of the
brilliant exploits of the American
marines in the vicinity of Torcy
is to swing the German front so
far backward as to pinch the Ger
a out Of Chateau Thierry. Out
Thanking operations of this charac-
ter present the only practical
means of expelling the Germans
from the Marine.
The present German position
along the Marine cannot be as
saulted by frontal attack except at
a cost of very heavy casualties.
The allies would have to cross the
Marine in the face of concentrated
machine gun fire, which could not
fail to exact a costly toll. 1t is not
q part of General Foch's strategy
to duplicate Won Hindenburg's
policy Of brutal slaughter. For
this reason q frontal attack across
the Marine is not to be expected.
The two flanks of the German
Marine salient remain open to far
more advantageous assaults. 1t is

By Associated Press,

With the American Army in France,
Friday, June 7~.-Reports of recent
heavy German train movements from
the direction Of Metz toward the st.
Mihiel salient have aroused discussion
in h American expeditionary forces
as to whether the enemy is planning
an assault in the Woevre.
From a tactical point of view the
neighborhood OF ST. Mihiel, with its
sharp salient, offers a logical place for
a German attack. A drive through st.
Mihiel to the southwest, it is consid-
cred, might have a triple objective-the
menacing of Bar LIE Due. h outflanN-
ing of Verdun from the rear and the
elimination of the salient, which has its
apex at Verdun.
For the nj at least, perhaps
permanently, the allies have stopped
the enemy at the Marine. Many engage
ments of a tactical nature may be ex-

man elements are again receiving fresh
reinforcements, in an, effort to hold the
Americans.
Using Now Gas.
The checkmated Germans today pro-
dHced u new weapon intended to dis
comtit the fighting marines. This YEA
pom consists of poisonous smoke clouds.
They differ from the usual gas clouds
in that they come over in thick, black
waves. The only effect which can be-
observed thus far is a nausea though
ing a shells with the smoke clouds,
so as to necessitate the use of gas
masks.
Notwithstanding the price willingly
paid by the marines to achieve a sue
cess, which is now recognized as much
more tina local, the boches haven't
seen the last Of Americas favorite
lighters, by any means.
The spirit in which the Germans are
taking the American interference with
their plans Is indicated by the arrival
Of new troops in their lines and the
steady increase Of their artillery fire.
Further hard lighting is expected mo
mentarily.
A unique feature of the present and
dramatic phase Of the world war, is
that war correspondents are able to
cover the battle from Paris. Some
times they motor out in the morning
and return in the afternoon, arriving
in h city two hours after they leave
the actual front.
Parish has been made the field CEN
sor's headquarters temporarily, as a
consequence.
The fact, incidentlly, shows the real
ity Of the menace that is hanging over
Paris.

M'ADOO TO PASS ON
RAIL DAMAGE CLAIMS
Government Has Adopted Policy
Against Litigation Says the
Director Generals Order.

Director General McAdoo will be the
final judge on damage suits against
railroads in the future, an order re-
ceived in Sioux City by railroad at
torneys today from the United States
railroad administration, says. Suits for
damages may be conducted as pre-
viously. the order states. but where
damages are awarded against common
carriers. the director general must
pass on their merits before payment is
Iuade.
The order that the gov
eminent has adopted a policy against
litigation in damage suits and in favor
Of considering injury cases on their
merits. eliminating heavy prosecution
costs and attorney fees.
Another order. issued by Director
General McAdoo, provides that rail-
roads may prevent trial of a suit while
under federal control if the suit is in
stituted at a point distant from the
cause of the injury or damage.

useless to continue their efforts along
the Marine and elect to hit the allied
line at other places.
The position of the railways and the
formation of the terrain northwest and
north of Bar LIE Due offer the Germans
an opportunity.
or course What the future holds for
the American forces around ST. Mihiel
is not known, but the salient there is
being discussed as a possibility not to
be lost sight of.
Another place which is likely to see
more fighting is the sector around
Montdidier. where American troops re-
Gently captured Cantigny. Another i'm
portant point at which American troops
are stationed is the territory around
Chateau Thierry. 1t may be considered
certain that whatever the future holds,
