GERMANS GAINED
4 N4RROW MILE
French Troops Are Showing So Much De-
termination and va1or That Paris
Military Critics Are Quietly
Confident

London, june 1.-THE German crown
| prince continues his desperate attempts
to overcome the difficult forest regions
| barring his way into the Disc valley and
although by heavy fighting he gets lit.
| tie nearer to Compiegne his progress is
very slow.
Thursdays reports are considered sat
isfactory on the whole by observers here
The enemy has progressed about mile
on very narrow front northeast of VIII
lers Cotterets, but the French troops are
showing such determination and yalor in
counter attacking that, although reports
from Paris indicate it may be necessary
to give further ground in face of supe-
rior numbers, there exists spirit of
quiet confidence and trust in General
Foch's prudent handling of the situation.
Both the French and German com
muniques indicate the terrible nature of
the struggle that is progressing. the Ger
mans having to admit the loss of some
guns.
1t is clear too that the American forces
i'm the region of Bouresches are showing
grit in holding off German attacks. which
gives the enemy great and unexpected
trouble
The battle is regarded here as CON
test between opposing reserves. 1t is
known that the crown prince has been
to draw slightly upon the re.
serves of Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria,
as some of Rupprecht's men have been
identified among the 20 divisions the |
Germans have employed since June o.
The view of military experts still is |
that the enemy's main attack has not
vet been delivered.

National War Time Prohibi-
tion Amendment Tenta-
lively Inserted
BY SENATE COMMITTEE
ON AGRICULTURE
The Randall A m en- DIN en- t
Was Stricken Out
To-day

Washington, d. c., June l4.--With
only five members present, the Senate
agricultural committee to-day tentative
ly inserted in the agricultural appropri-
alton bill the amendment of Senator
Jones of Washington, to provide for ma
tional prohibition during the war.
The committee struck out the Randall
amendment which provides against the
appropriation unless the president pre-
vents the use of grain and foodstuffs
in the manufacture of beer and wine.
Opponents Of prohibition announced that
efforts would be made TO have the COM
mittee reconsider its action in view of
the fact that only five senators were
present.
Senators Norris, Kenyon and Page
voted for the amendment and Senators
Smith, South Carolina, acting chairman
OF the committee and Smith of Geargia
opposed the resolution. The committee
also eliminated from the bill the House
amendment, providing that no money
in the measure shall be
used in the payment of salaries of per-
sons of draft age who have been given
deferred classification while employed in |
the department Of agriculture.
Senator Smith of South Carolina, i'm !
after the conference ad
iourned, called another meeting of the |
committee for this afternoon, at which !
efforts will be made TO reconsider the
action taken on the prohibition amend
menf.
Immediately after the Jones amend
nent had been adopted and while Sena
.or Smith, the acting chairman, was
temporarily out of the committee room.
Page of Vermont. supporter of
he prohibition amendment, made mo-
ion to adjourn, which was seconded by
Senator Kenyon, another prohibition
eader. When Senator Smith returned
few minutes later, he found the com
nittee had adjourned and all the mem
,ers had gone.

The Germans have been held north OF
the Aronde and Matz rivers, to the west
of the Oise They have failed to make
serious attack against the new French
positions east of that river. Southwest
of Scissors they advanced approximately
mile over four mile front, but their
progress was so slow that after the in
ception of the fighting little anxiety was
felt concerning future events in that re-
gion.
The sectors further south. which in
clude the points at which the American
forces are fighting, have been heavily
bombarded by the enemy, but no further
infantry attacks have been launched by
him.
An inference that might be drawn from
the apparent haste of the Germans in be-
ginning their great attack east of Mont
didier almost as soon as their sweeping
advance on the Aisne front had been
checked at the Marine is that another
German offensive may be speedily
launched. 1t is not improbable, according
to French opinion, that this blow will fall
on the British front, further north, either
in front of Amiens or in the Flanders
sector, where the Germans may attempt
to cut their way through to the channel
ports.
In this connection the British official
statement tells of strong local attack
by The Germans in the region of Merris,
on the extreme western angle of the
Flanders salient. This attack was com
pletely repulsed, it is said. The Amiens
front and the Scarpe river valley near
Arras have been bombarded by the Ger
mans, who have not as yet, however at
tempted infantry attacks on the allied
lines in those regions.

The Keemun, vessel of 9,074 tons

She was last reported as leaving Manila.
If the keemun has been destroyed,

BRITISH BROKE
UP HARD RAID
NEAR MERRTS
There Is Greater Activity on the North
ern Part of the Allied Line-Ger-
man Artillery Starts Up.

London, June l4.-A strong enemy
party this morning attacked on the posts
recently established by the British south
west Of Merris on the Flanders front, the
war Office announces. The attack was
completely repulsed. The Germans left
some prisoners in the hands of the Brit
ish.
Activity by the German artillery in
the region of Villers -Brettoneaux, to the
east of Amiens, as well as in the Scarpe
valley east of Arras, is reported.
The text of the statement saws:
Early this morning an attack was
made by party of the enemy upon
one of our posts southwest of Merris.
1t was completely repulsed few
prisoners remaining in our hands.
THE hostile artillery had been ac-
tive in the Nillers -Brettoneaux sec
tor and in the Scarpe valley
During the night successful raids
were carried out by us in the neigh
borhood Of Neuville-Vitasse and Gi-
venchy Leg -LaBsssee. Patrol en-
counters took place 10 our advantage
southwest of Gavrelle and northwest
of Merville. As a result of these
different encounters we captured sew

BIG BRITISH SHIP SUNK
VAR CHEST NAY
REACH $4,000
Many People Are Still Turning in Cards
and the Work of Compilation Is
Far from Completed.

Growing out of the recent war chest
canvass is a movement which is bringing
many who failed to subscribe into the
fold with the patriotic people whose de-
votion Co the cause will probably mean
that Barre's war chest contribution is TO
aggregate $4,000, although that figure
has not been reached as yet. 1t is called
the change of heart" movement, and it
is made up of the people who, among
others, are daily finding their way TO the
Church street headquarters for the pur
pose of subscribing. Most of them say
that they have had a change of heart
since they refused the solicitors who par
ticipated in Tuesdays big house-t to- house
canvass. Those who do not come in per-
son instruct the canyassers who were
assigned to their territory TO return them
their cards that they may pledge support
TO the war chest
1t is one of the most encouraging fea-
lures of the campaign, and while the
committee and nearly dozen workers
have their hands full in compiling re-
turns, they are only too glad to pause in
their task and attend to the wants of
those who have joined the change of
heart movement.
1o-udN lHt Cltiltdl itiNt was tuEdkCu
in bringing order out of the confusion in
rident to being swamped with returns by /
dividing the contributions into wards. 10
is too early to tell how much each ward
contributed for the reason that the can
gassers have not reported in full, but at
he present time ward ! seems to have
he call. Persons who were out of the
,ity or absent from home Tuesday were
yesterday and to-day, and
he sum of their contributions win add
to the amount already in
land. Most of the granite manufsctur
ng plants have reported, and at this
writing the more optimistic members Of
he committee believe that the subscrip-
ions from the stonesheds alone will
mount to $4,000.
All who may have been missed in the
huffie of Tuesdays drive are urged to-
all at the Church street headquarters
nd provide themselves with cards. Can
assing teams are asked to report as
oon as they have covered the territory
ssigned them in order that the work of

LIEUT.. CILFILLAN
RECENTLY CITED
FOR BRAVERY
He Was Gassed at the Time and Was
Given Honorable Mention with 81
Other Americans.

| st. Johnsbury, June l4.-Mr. and Mrs
| Charles j. Gilfllan of Portland street
the former well known railroad con-
! tractor, received message this morning
from the war department, announcing
that their son, Second Lieutenant Max d.
| Gilfillan. a member of the marine corps,
had been severely wounded in action. II
is supposed that his wound was received
in the recent heavy fighting north OF the
Marine river.
Lieut.. Giltillan was one of the most
popular young men who have attended
St. Johnsbury academy in recent years.
He was an honor student and a star ath-
lete, playing on IT, baseball and football
teams and being pitcher of the former.
On leaving the academy he went TO the
Agricultural and Mechanical college at
College Station, Tex. and he was there
when the trouble between Mexico and
the United States broke out. He imme-
diately returned home and enlisted in
Co, ID. lst Vermont infantry, and later
went to the Mexican border. At the
close Of that service he returned to col
lege and was graduated as yaledietorian
in a class of lS0 While at college he
maintained his reputation as star ath-
lete, being called one of the best all
around men ever enrolled in his institu-
ton
Subsequently he was commissioned as
a second lieutenant and was assigned to
the 66th company, 9th regiment, first
battalion of the second division, L. s.
marine corps. He went to France with
the marines and was one of 3s officers
and men who month ago were cited for
in action and had received the
,roix de guerre. At that time Lieut..
iilfillan was gassed-
Lieut.. Gilfillan is "a years of age and
