New York, June 10.-Continuation
of the American assaults northwest
of Chateau-Thierry can be expected
il General Foch wishes to persist in
his efforts to shove the Germans
back from the Marne and re-establish
the availability of the Marne COM
municatiOns.
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 Germans
out Of Chateau-Thierry. Outflanking
operations of this character present
the only practical means of eXpelling
the Germans from the Marne.
The present German position along
the Marne cannot be assaulted by a
frontal attack except at a cost of
very heavy casualties, The Allies
would have to cross The Marne in the
face of concentrated machine fire
which could not fail to exact a costly
toll. 1t is not a pa. of General
Foch's strategy to- .ate Won
Hindenburg's policy of i, 'augh
ter. For this reason a u at
tack across the Marne is not be
expected The two TANKS OF y le
German Marne salient remain open
to Tar more advantageous assaults.

THINKS GERMAN SUB
MARINES WILL PROVE
DISAPPOINTING HERE
BY Arthur Mann.

London, June lot is yet too
early to forecast what the presence
Of submarines on the American coast
may portend Sir Eric Geddes, first
lord of the admiralty, told the United
Press today.
On the one hand, it may be a
sporadic raid, similar to that of
U-boat 53 in the early days of the
war. or it may mean a serious sub
marine campaign off ~the American
coast.
The vigilance of the British in our
waters" said he. "has made submar-
ines costly to the Germans, who may
have calculated that better results
could be secured against the Amer
lean coast. In this they will un-
doubtedly be disappointed since our
experience over here has been placed
without reserve at the hands of the
American administration.

What The War Moves Mean

1t is along the western nank that the
Americans are now operating. This
is the better side because it is in
direct touch with perfect system OF
communications. The Americans have
now moved their line to within four
miles of the main highway connect
ing Chateau ThiefW with scissors.
The cutting of this road by American
marines would seriously interfere
with movement of German supplies
into Chateau-Thierry and would be-
gin to threaten the whole system OF
communications of the Germans on
this front.
The only railroad running through
the Germans on the Marie is less
than a mile beyond the Chateau
Thierry- Scissors road. It's capture
by the Americans would compel
evacuation of Chateau-Thierry unless
Won Hindenburg is prepared to run
the grave risk of the capture of the
towns whole garrison.
Won Hindenburg has undoubtedly
begun to throw heavy reinforcements
into the sector under American fire
Any further American fighting in that
sector must be against increased
odds. The enforced abandonment Of
the Marne front by Won Hindenburg
would cause great depression in
Germany and the Kaiser's general
staff will do all it can to hold fast
sor the time being.

and likewise in their more recent at

great attack between Montdidier and

Advance Stopped.
The German staff seem obstinately
convinced that the Disc valley is the
most likely opening to Paris from
the east, since the March offensive

created during the past two weeks
stopped their advance.
Big German Losses.
The battle begun with similar at
tack launched by the Germans, fol-
lowing heavy bombardment, which
permitted an initial gain by sur
prise attack. The German infantry
leaned to the attack in successive
waves, but despite the Huns secrecy
and use of bombs, the French artil
lery were able to maintain their
fire throughout the bombardment.
Through their great concentration,
the French succeeded in infiicting
tremendous losses on the Germans

to apprise you of every circumstance
and every element involved in this
momentous struggle, which seems to
me to affect its very processes and
its outcome. 1t is my duty to win
the war and to ask you to remove
every obstacle that stands in the
way of winning it.
II had assumed that the senate
would concur in the amendment be-

method by which the suffrage is to
be extended to women. There is,

ECHOES FROM THE

Failing to have Judge Dunno ac-
cept $4,000 worth of Liberty Bonds
as bail for Rena Mooney, the In
ternational Workers Defense League
last week returned the bonds to the
different unions which donated them.
Five hundred dollars worth of the
bonds were contributed by Mrs.

which donated the balance were:

Boilermakers, of Oakland, $4,000;
Piledrivers, of San Francisco, $4,000;

eventually."-Ed Gammons in Tri-
City Labor Review.
Judge Dunno refused to accept
Liberty Bonds as bail for Rena
Mooney after exhausting every eff
fort to serve the Chamber of Com
merce by preventing her from Sc
curing bail at all, Notwithstanding
she had been acquitted in his court
of completely in the Preparedness
Day bomb outrages. Mrs. Mooney
is held for trial on several other in
dictments for the same crime. 1t is
reasonable to consider her innocent
since the Hun, Fickert, failed to Sc
cure a conviction on the strongest
case he could bring against her.
After Charles NJ. Fickert, the chief
perjury dealer of the United States,
had failed to handle the bomb cases
to the satisfaction of his masters,
the highbinders of the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce, they
are through with him. Through
Fickert's service to the big business
highlander gang he has won a place
for his name on the roll of infamy.
Now he's junk.
