Great ferceness marked the fighting

| Sammies Hold Difficult PoseL
| London, June 6.-In the Luneville
and Toul sectors the Americans hold
very difficult salients dominated by
the enemy. The Germans recently
have been drenching these positions
with gas but the Americans stood
firm and won the ready appreciation
Of all observers.
Americans Hold on Huma
| Washington, June 6.-The story Of
how an American patrol Of forty men
| outnumbered two to one, held its
ground in Lorraine on the night Of
June for three-quarters of an hour
and only retired when its ammunition
became exhausted is told in q con-

munique yesterday read here today.
The patrol inflicted heavy loss on the
enemy.
Lieutenants Campbell and Mess,er
downed an enemy biplane Juno s, the

! Situation Unchanged.
London, June s. via ottawa-rhe
battle situation is generally un-
changed today. The Germans arc
held up for the time being on the
whole front from Noyon to Rheims
few days, particularly on Monday and
| Tuesday, when their gains were small
| lest. 4 &
French experts now anticipate that
the Germans will attempt to break
through somewhere else, possibly be-
tween Noyon and Montdidier, with the
object Of converging their advance
1 toward Paris. although it is not inn
possible that the enemy will attack IN
a totally different sector. The pro1-
unity of Paris in this case, however,
may indicate a departure from these
tactics.
The attitude Of Paris in facing the
present ordeal is inspiring the most
| glowing eulogies in the British press,
which pays fervent tribute to Premier
1 Clemenceau's recent speech - ox-
pressing the tnvincible spirit OF FrAnoe
and affording impressive evidence of
the mutual Conscience Of the allies
and reliance in the growing might eS
j America. Tho newspapers declare
that NJ. yClemenceau also spoke for the
British nation when he declared that
4 France would never yield.
