LONDON, June 3.-Reuter's core spondent at French Headquarters. tele- graphing Sunday at midnight, said;
 Until today it was only possible to hold the enemy from hour to hour. The enemy's numbers enabled him to maneuver and go around obstacles in his path; but his numerical advantage vanished from day to day and we now have arrived at the stage where the formation of a continuous line forces the Germans to attempt massed at- tacks against strongly held positions, instead of turning them.

STORMY SESSION
 BROUGHT ABOUT BY VITAL BILL
Legislature Stirred Over Question of Naming of Members of Council of Defense for This State

Near the close of session in which inc mental caloric rivaled that indi- Cated by the thermometers exposed to the sun about the capitol building, the senate passed a council of defense bill. nominally the Claypool bill It was at once signed and sent to the house where under a suspension of the rules it was advanced to the order of second reading and ordered to the printer.
 The bill as passed by the senate probably satisfies no member of that house. The Claypool bill as it was originally presented gave to the gov ornor the absolute control or the state council: it tended to make it @ partisan body by making cx-officio members. the president Of the senate and the speaker of the house as well as the attorney general and the adjutant general The governor was 1o have all the other appointments and was 10 be chairman of the council.
 Adopts Much of Text
 Later a bill prepared by the present state council of defense was submitted to the appropriations committee, hav- ing charge of the Claypool bill. The new bill had the approval of the na- tional council of defense. The commit tee adopted the greater part of the text of 1t but left the organization Of the council as proposed by the Claypool bill but slightly changed The com mittee gave the measure the name of the Claypool bill and eliminated the president, the speaker and the adJut- ant general from membership of the committee. In this form it was re- ported. on Saturday was acted upon favorably in the committee Of the whole. and yesterday afternoon came up for third reading.
 Names Approved By Counties
 Just what might have happened tc it but for an episode in the morning session that narrowed the feelings Of the senators. is impossible to say.

Trying a ForIorn Hope

WASHINGTON. June 3.-Germany at last has brought her submarine war fare to the shores of the United States, apparently in a forlorn hope of strik- ing telling blows on this side of the Atlantic and of drawing home some of the American naval forces from the war zone where the U-boat menace is slowly but surely strangled to death In the attacks upon coasting vessels almost in sight of the New Jersey shore reported today, navy officials see a frantic admission from Berlin that the submarine has failed. Ameri- can armed power is rolling overseas in ever increasing force despite the ut most eXertions of the undersea pirates off the coasts of Europe
 Have Lurked for Days | Now the raiders have crossed the seas and lurked for days near Ameri- cas- greatest ports. They no doubt were sent to sink transports but here again they failed. Blocked off the troop ships by convoy craft, they have | turned in fury against defenseless coasters. In all the record of destruc- tion they have written, the raiding party has struck at no vessels bound overseas and therefore, armed for a fight. Only ships that could not hi, back have been attacked. The only one of half score of vessels probably sent to the bottom that had any real military value in ship or cargo was an oil tanker.
 Official Report for Six | n lot struction of five sailing craft and the tanker Herbert L. Pratt was the record of losses officially reported to the navy department. The fate of the coast wise liner Carolina which reported by wireless yesterday. she was being shelled, was still unknown.
 The crews of some of the craft de stroyed have been brought into port with story of eleven days imprison- ment aboard an enemy submarine.
 During that period scores of troops and supply ships have passed in and out on .Se business of crushing the German army in France. The U U-boa found no weak link in the chain O, armed craft that guarded them.
 Secretary Daniels went to the Cam tol during the day to tell members of the house naval committee that the raid was designed to frighten the American people into demanding the return of war vessels from the other side. He gave assurance that congress need have no apprehension as to pro- i, tectlon Of the American coast, and tha4 there will be no recall of forces iron, the war zone.

 BERLIN, June 3-(Via london)- The evening official report from headquarters says:
 South and west of Soissons we have made fresh progress. There were French counter attacks on both sides of the Ourcq river"
 "The artillery activity revived at intervals. Local attacks west Of Bailleul and north of the Lys were repulsed.
 BERLIN, June 3-(Via London)- ,Today's German official statement reads:
 For the relief of French and English army corps, which have been cut up by our attacks, and for the support of divisions which up to the present have been sen, into the battle field as quickly as possible from neighboring armies, and which thus have been strongly thinned out, fresh French units from far distant fronts have en- tered into the battle.
 "To the north of the Aisne they have tried in vain to hold the po- sitions which had been assigned to them. In hard trench fighting we drove them back toward Moulin sous-Touvent, St. Christopher and Vinere.
 "Chaudun, southwest of Soissons. has been captured. Tn an attack we pushed forward across the Sa- vIerres territory as far as the east ern border of the woods around ViIiers- Cotterets.
 South of the Ourcq the enemy delivered violent counter attacks. They were repulsed with sanauin- ary losses. We captured Relin, be- yond Courchamps and Monthiers, and took the heights to the west of Chateau Thierry.
 "On the Msrne, between the Marne and Reims, the situation is unchanged.
 Railways leading towards the battle field, which were strongly eonsested by movements of troops, were successfully attacked by a bombing squadron. We shot down thlrty-one enemy airplanes."

German Line Being Held
 The German war office at last has admitted that the allied line on the west has been reinforced by fresh units, but it asserts that they have not been able to hold the positions to which they were assigned. Nevertheless, the fact is patent from an observation of the war maps that almost everywhere in this region the German line, for the moment at least, is being hard held.
 No Change to Eastward
 From Chateau Thierry eastward along the Marne and thence to Reims the situation is virtually unchanged from that of Sunday. The enemy now holds the northern bank of the Marne for a distance of about 15 miles. but as yet he has made no serious endeavor to cross the stream.
 Little fighting aside from the usual i small affairs between raiding parties is taking place on the Flanders front The British have carried out successful raids on several sectors here and taken nearly 300 prisoners.
 | American Airmen Win 1 American aviators are giving a good account of themselves over the battle | line in France. Since April IA, when they first took the air in offensive op- erations. they have shot down at least S3 enemy planes and themselves have | only lost seven.

After this, recruitment. 2,000 to 5000 men monthly are asked for to maintain the Irish divisions. Legisla- ton giving land to men who fight for their country is promised in the proc lamation.
