they composed a large working party,
the artillery signaled for barrage.
Foe Losses Are Heavy.
The original enemy plan was for the
attacking party to divide into three
sections an dto enter Xirvay from
three different directions. Only one
section actually reached the outskirts
of the village, but only after it had
been cut up badly by the American
barrage fire. Of these only a small
group got into Xivray where they
were quickly surrounded by the Amer
leans and either captured or killed.
Eight prisoners. including lieutenant,
remained in the American hands
A majority of the American cas-
ualties, wao do not include any miss
sections and to enter Xirvay from
lery fire.
Casualties among French civilians
occurred when a German shell burst
near church as a procession of vii
layers was emerging from mass
Many of the French wounded were
cared for in American hospitals.
This afternoon the American artil-
lery opened retaliatory fire against
the area behind the German lines,
while the Germans, apparently ang-
cred by the failure of the raid, bonn
barded villages as far as eight miles
behind the American lines. The whole
Toul sector is now echoing to the
heavies gunfire in many weeks.

ALLIES HOPEFUL
FOR FAILURE OF
AUSTRIAN DRIVE
London Newspapers Conf
dent That Offensive
Against Italians Will Fail.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON. June 1.-THE outcome of
the Austrian offensive is viewed hope
fully, even confidently, by the news.
papers here. This view Is based on
the staunch resistance of the allied
defensive and the failure of the enc
my to make anything like big sue
cess in his initial advance
1t is admitted that some days must
pass before the results of fighting on
such a great scale can correctly be
judged, but the conviction is firmly
expressed in several quarters that it
will end in failure for the enemy.
Failure" says the Daily News, ION
the first day of these attacks as con-
Quoted on the modern German plan.
has hitherto been fatal as in the case
Of Vimy Ridge, and in the present
case the fact of failure can hardly be
doubted"
The newspaper cites the opinion Of
its correspondent on the Italian front
that no enemy offensive up to this
time has begun so badly and adds:
There is strong ground for believ-
ing that an enemy failure is immi-
nent."
The opinion is expressed by several
papers that there is a distinct con-
nection between the initiation of the
offensive and internal conditions in
Austri-Hungary The Daily Express
describes it as "a gamler's throw, the
most desperate that the war has
seen," while the Times declares it is
desperate attempt to keep up the
waning spirits Of such elements of
the population as still remain faithful
to the established institutions Of the
states.
The Daily Mail and others predict
that an Austrian failure to gain de-
cision will have a serious internal eff
feet. Gerpany's hand generally is
seen behind the move. The Daily
News believes that it is an offensive
imposed by Germany on an ally
which has long ceased to have any
part in the struggle and which is
sinking to condition of internal dis
intregation and despair" The Daily
Mail says: 1T can hardly escape the
Austrian peoples that they are be-
ing driven to slaughter for the profit
Of Germany"

BULGARIAN PREMIER
RESIGNS HIS POST

SOFIA, Sunday June IS, via Am
sterdam - Premier Radoslavoff has
rendered the resignation of the cabinet
and King Ferdinand has accepted ii.
The ministers were requested by the
king to retain their portfolios until a
new cabinet is formed
The downfall of Premier Radosla:-
off most probably is due to the feel
ing in Bulgaria that he did not make
the most Of his opportunities in the
negotiations during which peace was
forced on Rumania and Rumania COM
PEELED to give up the Dobrudja. Many
Bulgarians have felt, it has been re.
ported, that the Dobrudia should have
been ceded outright to Bulgaria. There
also has been some dissatisfaction
over whether the central powers would
back up Bulgaria's territorial claims
in Macedonia.
The coalition cabinet of Premier
Radoslavoff, who is the liberal leader.
came into office several years before
the war and has been retained since
with only few minor changes.

Examination of the Germans captured

planned the raid a week in advance
and that six hundred special troops
who took part in it were rehearsed
behind the German lines.
The enemy plan was to send for

take up a position near the American
barbed wire and then send up signal
rocket for a box barrage to cover
Xivray village and the approaching
communication trenches while the
heavier artillery was to lombard the
villages in the rear.
American artillery observers saw a
