In the latter event, he would
again seek to obtain the advant-
age by a third surprise attack to-
ward Am.ens or the coast, or some
other objective calculated to give
decisive results.
Five Sectors.
The new battle of the Marine
can be divided into five sectors,
where the Germans are now oblig-
ed to concentrate their efforts to-
ward any furaher advance.
Sector one is on the extreme
right of the German right, south
of Noyon. 1t consists of high
wooded hills in the region of
Calepont, barring access to the
Disc. The enemy is trying to cap
ture these hills.
Sector two consists of high, de-
nuded plateaus between Carlepont
and the Aisne, with ravines run
ming down the southern slopes OF
the plateaus toward the Aisne.
The Germans were checked at the
summit of the plateaus.
Sector three comprises the Sois-
sons region, including the Aisne
valley.
Sector four consists of high pla-
teaus in the region of the Ourcq.
Sector five is the Chateau
IThierry region and includes a high
plateau above the Marine valley.
Three Principal Aims.
German onslaughts on these
five sectors, where allied resist
ance is now the strongest, aim at
three great detectives. facing their
right and left wings and center.
In sectors one and two, COM
prising the Germans right, they
seek to attain the valley of the
Disc, south of Noyon, down which
they would filter toward the june
tion with the Aisne, near Comic
gne. The latter city is their first
objective.
In sector three the Germans
have two great detectives. The
first is that of progressing west
ward along the A'sne valley to at
tain both the Disc and Comiegne
The second is either the encircling
or capture of the forest and city
of Villers-Cotteretts.
In sectors four and five, COM
,prising the left wing, the Germans
seek to advance toward Paris
along the valleys of the Ourcq and
Marine, with Meaux (25 miles
west and south of Chateau Thier-
ry) as their first great objective.
Dangerous Arc.
For the moment, the Germen
center, comprising sector three
and part of sector four, is the
most mportant-first, because of
the double detectives of Com
piegne and Villers Cotteretts, and
second, because the German right
and left wings have advanced fas-
| ter than the center. The latter
now forms a dangerous arc, where
the enemy is forced to concen-
trate for the purpose of straight
ening the line.
A successful march on Paris
would involve the capture of both
Cobpigne and Meaux. On the
right and left they would serve as
bases for the departure of con-
verging columns toward Paris

the American artillery hurls shells

Villages Deserted.
Behind the rear lines the viii
ages are deserted.
Only stray dogs and eats and
the Oldest enfeebled men and
women who were unable to flee
with the younger inhabitants, or
who refused to leave their homes,
are visible in these places. Roses
which bloom in profusion over
houses, almost hiding them, and
blossoming flower gardens every
where are unseen except by dusty,
sweating men, who fighting
against odds, have driven off the
invaders.
Like Veterans.
From the first enemy assault
until that of Monday night, when
the repulse was followed by a sue
cessful counter attack, the Ameri-
cans bore themselves like veter-
ans.
Prisoners were captured in
Monday nights fighting, which ex-
tended back into a village where
fierce hand to hand struggles be-
tween American boys and helmet
ed Germans resulted in the GUST
ing of the Huns. There were
three strong enemy attacks pre-
ceding this, all of which were re-
pulsed.
Attempting to cross to the left
bank of the Marine, the boches en-
countered American machine gun
ners. They lay coolly at their
guns while the Germans came on,
then opened up and riddled the
enemy ranks, throwing them into
complete confusion.
At another spot, our machine
gunners wiped out the 'boche ma
chine gun units, sweeping them
with an enfilading fire. The lines
swayed back and forth during the
first two days the Americans were
on the job, then began to settle
down. But they still vary hun
bred yards or so daily.
Fighting in Open.
Fighting is SO open and the
lines are so indefinite that 1t is
necessary for the infantry COM
manders to signal their positions
to the aviators as they maneuver
in the defense OF Paris, American
observers, accompanying French
pilots, are attached to the artil-
lery guarding the threatened road
to the capital.
Strange conditions prevail over
the whole front. For example,
there is one No Mans village near
Chateau Thierry where there has
been lighting all around, but the
village stands unoccupied and I'M
asailed.

Shot Across Bow

The military men aboard gave
the clearest accounts. Because OF
the crowded condition of the
schooners scores were obliged to
sleep on deck.
Worn and exhausted tho they
were, a little group managed to
raise feeble cheer when they saw
the waterfront buildings looming
vaguely thru the early morning
mist.
1t was about o'clock when we
heard the first shot," said Lieut.
j. p. O'Toole, U. s. A.
At first we thought it was an
American patrol boat. But il
soon convinced us otherwise. A
shot went over the bow, then one
screeched clear over the ship, an
other hit in the wake and fourth
fell short. Then it came closer
and we could see 1T for what ii
was-a big German submarine,
with the crew in yellow slickers
standing on deck and two of them
waving German flags"

No Concrete
Yard For Us
Especial to The Times.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., June S.
In reply to the Joint letter sent
to him recently by the entire con-
gressional delegation from the
state of Washington urging the
establishment of government
concrete shipyard in the state,
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board has sent a letter denying
the request.
He explains that the board
reached its decision only after
his engineers had made a thoro
investigation.
He pays tribute to the fine
spirit and aid of the people of
Washington in carrying on the
shipbuilding program, and adds
that should it be determined in
the future to establish more con-
crete yards the state will be
given full consideration.

is unlikely they will attain either.

they intend to risk all in the pres
