.TEUTON OFFENSIVE SPENT IS BELIEF OF ALLIES
French and British Armies Make Slight Gains While Germans Try to Rest and CorsolitIte Victories.
tRv Review I.eased wIrel

With the passing of the thirteenth day of the new battle of the Somme there came increasing evidence that the great German machine with which it was intended to crush the allied line has almost utterly spent itself.
 Where previously the Germans had thrown men into the fray, not count ing the prodigiOus wastase in killed CT wounded. Tuesday saw them Ge- cline anywhere to give battle. On the contrary. in what little fighting oc cured the British and French troops took the initiative.
 Thus it seems apparent, with the reserve forces of the entente virtu- ally intact. and with the added weight General Pershing's troops will give them. the turn in the tide of the ba-le is at hand.
 Hun Loss Enormous.
 While admittedly both the French and British armies have suffered rather severe casualties as they stood valiently to their task of impeding the Germans and making them pay an un- heard of price for every foot of ground gained. their reserves have been con- nANn AlC hAAtOoA Nait the lines for hte fateful time whent the whitening fire of the allied guns and machine guns should have so blight ed the German hOries as to bring more equality in strength to the fight ing forces. And all alone, the British and French commanders have not left outside their calculations that staunch band of Americans, exceeding 100000 men fully trained and equipped and anxious to lend their aid in defeating the Germans.
 Daily the German losses in men killed CT wounded continue to aug ment as details are obtained from the Germans made prisoner. Some divi- sions lost as high as 70 per cent of their effectiveness as they charged in mass formation against the British and French machine gunners and riflemen.
 ComD2nies withdrew from the fight ing strength reduced to 40 men.

AIR PROGRAMME OF AMERICA WILL BE !. SURPRISE TOENEMY This Is View of Special Cor respondent Writing of
 the Progress Being
 Made

London, June 12.-There will be some surprises on the western front when the American air programme is in full work ing order, says a specal correspondent of the Times, in concluding today his authorized description of the work of the American forces in France. There are already large production departments. several hugh flying schools, repair shops and supply centers in France, and also plenty of pilots who, the correspondent is convinced are among the best flyers at the front. One of the typical air serv- ice departments which the correspondent visited covers an area six miles by one and a half miles. There the construc- tion, assembling and repair of American airplanes will soon be going ahead on a scale never before known.
 ''An intermediate section,' comprising a variety of enterprises over large section of the country skillfuly linked by rail looms large in the American plan for the quick handling of stores for an army of millions. At one point it is added. rows upon rows of steel struc ture warehouses are being built to hold supplies for 30 days for million men.
 Everywhere, the correspondent con cludes, there is an air of suppressed en- ergy The first years record is a 'glor- ious achievement promising greater things for the near future"

 The Americans in the sector west of Montdidier. however, are ready to as- sist in the fighting at the first oppor- tunity.
 The Germans made two minor raids against the American lines at Cantigney Monday night and were repulsed each time. One raiding party which numbered 70 was routed by the revolver fire of the Americans
 On the right of the American sector German aviators have been busy. One enemy flying machine bearing a French insignia as a disguise. flew over the American line at a height of 500 metres and attacked with bombs and machine gun fire American soldiers on the march. The Americans took cover and there were no casualties. Reports that the Germans have been using French signs on their airplanes have been numerous during the last fortnight.

ADVOCATES UNIFIED NAVAL COMMAND IN
 MEDITERRANEAN SEA
Widely Known Authority Writes on Necessity of Combating Enemy
 in These Waters

London, June 12.-Writing in The
 Daily Telegraph Archibald $. Hurd. the
 widely known naval authority, pleads
 urgently for a unified command for
 the allied fleets in the Mediterranean,
 and especially in view of the prob-
 able accession to the strength of the
 navies of the central powers through
 the acquisition of the bulk of the ships belonging to the former Russian Black sea fleet
 The naval command in the Mediter- ranean, Mir Hurd points out. rests with the French, and in the Adriatic With the Italians. The British naval forces in both these seas are acting under the French and Italian admirals While the American and Japanese na- vies also are operating there and Greek and Brazilian naval participation is impending. Thus seven navies repre- sented in the Mediterranean would be under divide command
 1t Is possible. the writer things, that eight capital ships of the Russian navy, Tn addition to several cruisers. de- stroyers and submarines, will be equipped With trained German crews and issue from the Dardanelles at a mcment selected by the enemy. These vessels. added to Austria's considerable Fleet, would comprise a formidable force
 Tn the light of these statements,''
 continues MT. Hurd, the allies must
 be prepared for new and dramatic de- velopments and the proper remedy is to promote complete unity in the com
 mand of their naval forces Something more is needed than the spirit of com i radeShip and mutual help
 There is only one way.' he de-
 clares, "of ensuring success at sea,
 namely, by placing the command of all the naval forces in the same theatre
 under the control of a single staff, presided over by an officer command
 ing the respect and allegiance of all
 the nationalities represented"

The allied troops are operating in a. narrow belt on the left between the enemy's ad- vancing line and the Disc. With no bridges in the rear they run the risk of being cut off by the enemy should he reach the river bank south of them and. accordingly, they are being with drawn gradually to the river. whence the enemy is pursuing them. The Germans soon will find themselves without cover in an open valley. under the fire of the allied artillery and machine guns. Ribe- court is now in the enemys front line.
