HUN MAKES PRoGREss


 The third day of the German offer- siVe on the front between Montdider and Noyon saw the Germans still mak- ing progress from the center of the line eastward of the Disc river, but being held back in their attempts to bring their positions southeast of Montdidier in alignment. Everywhefe they were continuing to pay an exor' bltant price for the gains they made,
 IN BROAD LOWLANpS
 Having reached the Disc in the reg ion of Ribecourt the enemy, if he pur- poses to try to fight his way along tn. west bank of the stream, soon must emerge in force upon the owlands bordering the waterway where the troops of General Foch are said to be m strong array-both in men and suns-waiting to dispute the road to Paris.
 ALMOST REACH ARoNDE
 The apex of the salient driven by the Germans still is in the center, soutr of the village of Marqueglise. To the west of this point, the Germans at on- time almost reached the Aronde river but were driven back for considerable distances by the French in heavy counter attacks. The French also are counter attacking southwest of Noyon, according to the German official com. muncation, which says, however, that renewed efforts of the French to regain lost territory were repulsed with heavy losses.
 CLAIM 10000 PRISONERS The German war office claims the capture of 10000 additional prisoners, which with the number of captives re- ported Monday, would bring the total to 18000 in the present fighting.
 Since the new offensive began alonq the Sossons Reims sector May 27, it is asserted by the German official com munication that the army group of the German crown prince has taken about l5,OOo allied troops captive
 QUIET TO EAST
 Comparative quiet still prevails on the front between Soissons and Reims, although the Germans announce that northwest of Chateau Thierry, where the American marines, fighting side by side with the French, have several times decisiveIy defeated the enemy, the Germans have repuIsed with heavy | losses attacks delivered against their front
 AUSTRALIANS ADVANCE
 
 tions carried out in many days, Field Marshal Haig's troops in the Amiens sector have struck the Germans hard blow. Australians succeeded in ad- vancine their line half a mile over q mile and a half front and took nearly 300 prisoners, including five officers. In addition 21 machine guns and a trench mortar were captured.
 PEACE OFFENSIVE
 Another peace offensive" by Ger many and Austria Hungary apparently is in the air It is asserted that in Ber- lin the government and the high army command are discussing declaration of war aims, while from Vienna comes the news that the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, in an interview, has reiterated that he still adhers to the policy of peace by understanding ana that the dual monarchy seeks no an nexations.

Yesterday Was WQrn1eStSinCe
 May 30, 1910

It was 113.8 degrees above zero in Phoenix yesterday afternoon and this was the highest tempera- ture reached since May 30, 1910, when a temperature of IA was recorded. Both statements will, of course be disputed. Every owner of perfectly reliable" thermometer purchased at from 25 cents to a dollar, knows that the government, which has cnly been studying temperatures for 101 years, knows absolutely %cth- ing about temperatures in Phoe nix, but aside from that the state ments stand.
 Under government rules major fraction of a degree goes to the next one above so, officially, the word went forth that it was IA degrees above zero in Phoenix yesterday. This is cool compared to Needles where it was 122 above.
 Last year the hottest recorded by the four government instru- ments was 112. Of course they are absolutely unreliable, the gov ernment testing them over period of months in it's observa- tory simply because it does not know that a thermometer may be easily made by anyone with a little wood alcohol. If there is no wood alcohol anything else will do.
 Not having dared pupuar out cry, the government weather bu- reau again takes it's collective lives in it's hands by remarking that the highest temperature ever recorded in Phoenix was 117 de- arees above zero. the date. July 3, 1907. Hundreds will recall days when it has gone at least 20 de erees higher than that but the government bureau is still uncon- Vinced.

LONDON, June 11.-(British ad- miralty per Wireless Press).-The mili- tarv correspondent Of the British wire less service writes:
 Tn the Monzdidier-N Noyon sector, the enemy attack is meeting with so little sCccess. in proportion to the heavy sac rifices he is making. that so far, the engagement may undoubtedly be char acterized as considerable allied sue cess. The French continue to hold stubbOrnly on both Hanks at Vile, talk ing over 800 prisoners.
 Each Day Was Slower
 Tn the center. the advance of about three miles forced by the first enemy onslaught was followed on the second day by a further advance, of about two miles on a still narrower front. But for these very limited and. so far, useless gains, the enemy has had to pay price so heavy that he has at last been com pelled to draw upon Prince Rupprechts till now jealously withheld reserves. Tins is point Of deep significance.
 Expected Easy Victory
 The enemy apparently anticipated a success as easy for him as that on the Aisne and he has been taught a severe lesson. Though he has a temporary Hhlliti iNdl 'upfi ici lAN pll lllt NtSAti II front yet that is proving inadequate to overcome the defense of the allies. Some ground will inevitably be gained by the enemy and the salient at Noyon is becoming so acute as to necessitate d rectification of the line but if the enemy is made to pay the same price as hitherto such transfer of ground will within limits be to the allied advan- tage.'

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Further evidence that Germany, in it's efforts to end the war this summer, is plan ming to support it's land offensive by sending it's high seas forces against the combined British and American grand fleet is given in an official dispatch today from Switzerland
 "A telegram of an official nature, '" says the dispatch, lis being spread broadcast in Germany which says that the German admiralty is con sidering a big naval offensive. Orders are supposed to have been given to keep the whole fleet in readiness and a certain number of naval officers of high rank have been hurriedly re- called from Switzerland and other neutral countries where sthcy have been spending their leave.
 The Kieler Zeitung speaks of eX- traordinary activity in the ports and the Hamburger Post publishes an in terview with von Tirpitz who was asked if Germany was in a position to measure herself with the English fleet. The admiral naturally replied in the affirmative, saying that after their land forces have pushed the French and English back on the other side of Paris, it will be the turn of the kaiser's boats to drive the English off the high seas
 May Attack at Any Time
 Both in Washington and in the allied capitals, German sea offen- sive on a grand scale long has been regarded a possibility and the appear nee of the Teutonic fleet in the North ance at any time would not be uneX- pected. Rear Admiral Gleaves said in a public address not long ago that word had come to the British fleet that the Germans at last were ready for the supreme test.

Inc Germans have found it neces- sary to bring forward more divisions to fill the gaps in their ranks caused by the terrific allied gun fire.
 The enemy's possession of the height Of Ecouvillon, below Thies court, en- abled him to filter troops through the small valleys, making the positions of the allies occupying small hillocks perilous and causing them to retire.
