EEPERTSDIFFER
ON PURPOSE OF
new FOE DRIVE

LONDON, July 1.-THE nth phase
of the German ofrensiVe, which began
early yesterday in an attack on .
fifty-mile front, extending from
Chateau-Thisrry eastward beyond
Rheims, appears to be q supreme
effort to break through and defeat a.
large portion Of the French army
as possible, without any definite geo
graphical objective.
This was the majority opinion Of
expert military men today, although
some authorities maintained that the
drive was an effort to use up French
reserves from the north, preparatory
to renewal of the attack on Amiens.
Still other critics saw In the drive
an EFFORT to widen the base for future
attacks on Paris, with reduction OF
the Rheims salient and capture Of
that city as = part OF this plan.
Foeh Ready. An Agree.
All are agreed that General Foch
has his plans completely laid out for
meeting any move the Germans may
make.
The morning papers are decidedly
optimistic and express satisfaction
with the result so far. They are
puzzled, however, as to Wether yester-
days battle was the main attack. So
far as has been learned no British
have yet participated.
It Is estimated that between hfty
and sixty German divisions (betveen
500, 900 and 720, 900 men) took part In
the assault The Germans, II was
learned from an authoritative source,
advanced three miles on a four-mile
front between Belval and Pourcy.
Between Fossoy and Jaulgonne, the
enemy advanced a mile beyond the
Marne. (This Is where the Americans
drove them back across the river.
Fossoy Is four miles due east Of
Chateau Thierry. Jaulgonne Is the
same distance north OF Fossoy.) Be
tween Bligny and Troissy the enemy
penetrated slightly more than q mile,
(Troissy Is on the south bank Of the
Marine, two miles northeast of Dor,
mans, while Bllgny Is twelve miles
northeast OF Troissy, In the direction
Of Rheims. This would indicate that
the Germans succeeded In progress
ing on q sixteen-mile front between
Chateau-Thierry and Rheims,-Sepa.
rated into two sectors by a hve-milS
strip along the Marine between Jaul
gonns and Dormans. The greatest
penetration. obviously, was about mid
way between Dormans and Rheims.

O'BRIEN STATES HE'S VERY BUSY
 SHOOTING HUNS

Word was received today at police headquarters from John A. O'Brien, a former patrolman on the Bridgeport force and now a member of one of the sharpshooter regiments in France, that he is in the best of health and is busy at the work of picking off Huns.
 O'Brien is the first Bridgeport po- liceman to report from over there and according to his communication he will have lots to tell when heard from again.
 It will be remembered that he was appointed to the police force, June 1, 1916, after he had served two terms of enlistment in the United States army. Three months after his ap- pointment as a patrolman, he made a record by arresting five Hungar- ians single handed and bringing them to headquarters. In order to accom- plish this latter feat he was compelled to shoot one of them through the hand and knock the four others un- conscious while he rang for the pa trol wagon.
