MARINES AID
VANCE 6OO-YARD FRONT.

With the American Army in
France, June 10.-The United
States Marines attacked the Ger
mans after daybreak this morning
and penetrated their lines about
two-thirds of a mile on 6OO-yard
front in the Belleau wood, north
west of Chateau Thierry The Ger
mans now hold only the northern
wing of the wood. The Americans
took two minenwerfer, which are
the largest pieces they have yet taxi
en-. Every foot the enemy advances
brings him futher into territory,
every foot of which the allies have
prepared for defense. Therefore
his task becomes momentarily more
difficult.
The allied stats are prepared to
meet every eventuality and display
the most perfect confidence in the
outcome.
