PRESENT DRIVE NOT
MAJOR OPERATION

Washington, June 1.-THE new
German thrust between Montdidier
and Noyon was regarded by officials
here as local operation on a large
scale, with limited objectives design
ed to consolidate the Picardy and
Aisne battle theaters and straighten
the line for later mass attacks eth
er toward Paris or the channel.
The same object was sought in the
pressure toward Compiegne and
Scissors and from Chateau Thierry.
The Villers Cotterets wood blocked
the success Of the recent movement
and the Germans are now trying to
take the defenders OF the wood in
the rear. II they succeed It is re-
garded that the line they seek to es-
tablish would give them a straight
front from the region OF Montdidier
to some point in the vicinity OF Cha
teau Thierry.
