GERMANS CLAIM 75,ooo PRISONERS

GERMANS CLAIM 75,00o PRISONERS
 BERLIN, via London, June 11.-Tht number of prisoners taken by the Ger mans in the new offensive has in creased mere than 10000, making the aggregate of prisoners taken since May 27 about 75,OOO. says the eGrmaE official communication issued today. The communication adds that the Germans have repulsed, with heavy ] losses, attacks northwest of Chateau Fhierry, in which region American ma rines and French troops are opposed to them.
 The text of the statement reads:
 Fighting activity, which has been moderate throughout the day revived only on both sides of the Somme. After the firing had greatly increased. the enemy attacked in the evening be- tween the Ancre and the Somme. A local break-through by the enemy on the Corbie-Braye road was brought to a standstill by a counter attack. On the rest of the front the attack broke down with sanguinary losses.
 During the two storming days, the Ul lut OL 0CAlEl dl NOll dutier led to the intended results and put us in possession of the hilly dis 'rict southwest of Noyon. The thrust was directed against the strongest po- sition of the enemy who was deeply echeloned in preparation for the at tack. In spite of this the French di- vision could not withstand the i'm Uetuous shock of our troops.
 Reserves f2epulsed.
 Divisions of the French army re- serves, who were brought up for cen tralized counter attacks, also were re- pulsed yesterday in bitter fighting.
 ''On the right wing of the attack the troops under General VOn Oetinger maintained the lines which had been captured from the enemy south of As sainville against violent counter at tacks.
 "The troops of General Von Ebern are fighting in the neighborhood of Gurcelies and Mery. On both sides of the nish road between Rove and Estrees St. Denis they captured the ridge east of Mery, broke through the fourth enemy position and threw him back on the Aronde river.
 'In spite of the stubborn enemy de fense, the troops of eGneral Van Schoe. Ter fought their way across tlre Matz and, after storming the heights of Marqueglise and VignemOnt, pressed forward in an uninterrupted assault as sar as AItheuill
 Tn continuous fighting, General Hoffman's corps penetrated the ell emy's position and entanglements on the heights south of Thiescogrt On the slopes running south to the Disc we pressed forward as far as Ribe court.
 ''The number of prisoners has in- creased by more than 10000 thus ra.s- ing the number of prisoners captured by the army group of the German crown prince since May 27 to about 9 900.
 "Jn the front from the Disc to Rheims the situation is unchanged. Re newed attacks launched by the enemy northwest of Chateau Thierry broke down with heavy losses"

Bisbee daily review., 1918-06-12

Rupprecht's till now jealously with held reserves. This is a point of deep significance.
 The enemy apparently anticipated a success as easy for him as that on the Aisne and he has been taught a severe lesson. Though he has a tenn porary numerical superiority on the western front, yet that is proving in- adequate to overcome the defense of the allies. Some ground will inevitably be fiained by the enemy and the sa- lient at Noyon is becoming so acute as to necessitate a rectification of the line, but if the enemy is made to pay tho same price as hitherto such trans fer of ground will within limits be to the allied advantage"

FACE MANY DIFFICULTIES

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, June Il, (By the Associated Press. 1.-The difficulties confronting the enemy are very great in the nature of the country he has entered in his new drive. The terrain comprises sharp hills, deep valleys and thick woods. Where his most pronounced progress has been made in the center of the battle field, the Germans form a short hollow through which runs the main road from Genlis to Royce ana the Compeigne Rove railroad.
 The enemy will be forced to debouch on the plain near the Disc river where he will find himself without the shelter of woods and will be subjected to q contracted fire of allied artillery and machine guns.
 The Germans have found it neces- sary to bring forward more divisions to fill the gaps in their ranks caused by the terrific allied gun fire.
 The enemy's possession of the height of Ecouvillon below Thies- court, enabled him to filter troops through the small valleys making the position of the allies occupying the small hillocks perilous and causing them to retire.
 The whole country side hereabouts is dotted with these small hillocks which are caIIed mountains, forming . kind of bastion, which, when turned from one side or the other, becomes absolute traps for the occupants. Most of the valleys run toward the banks of the river Disc.

 Germans Driven Back
 The apex of the salient driven by the Germans still is in the center south of the Village of Marqueglise To the west of this point, the Ger mans at one time almost reached the Aronde river. but were driven back for considerable distance by the French in heavy counter attacks. The French also are counterattacking to the southwest Of Noyon. according to the German official communication which says, however. that renewed efforts of the French to regain lost territory were repulsed with heavy losses.
 The German war office claims the capture of 10000 additional prisoners, which with the number of captives re- ported Monday. would bring the total to IS,000 in the present fighting.
 Since the new offensive began along the Soissons-Rheims sector May 27. it is asserted by the German official communication that the army group of the German crown prince has taken about 75.000 allied troops captive.
 Soissons Front Quiet
 Comparative quiet still prevails on the front between Soissons and Rheims. although the Germans an nounce that northwest of Chateau Thierry, where the American marines, fighting side by side with the French. have several times decisively defeat ed the enemy. the Germans have re- pulsed with heavy losses attacks de- livered against their front.
 In one of the most ambitious oper- ations carried out in many days, Field Marshal Haig's troops in the Amiens sector have struck the Germans a hard blow. Australians succeeded Tn advancing their line half a mile over a mile and a half front and took near ly 300 prisoners, including five of ficers. In addition. twenty-one ma chine guns and trench mortar were captured.
 Another peace offensive" by Ger many and Austria-Hungary apparent ly is in the air. It is asserted that in Berlin the government and the high army command are discussing a declaration of war aims, while from Vienna comes the news that the Aus tro-Hungarian foreign minister, in an interview has reiterated that he still adheres to the policy of peace by un- derstanding and that the dual mon arcy seeks no annexations.
