With the American Army at the
Marine, June 6.-French and American
marines at daybreak this morning at
tackled the Germans northwest of
Chateau Thierry.
The Americans, attacking the center,
drove back the enemy more than three
kilometers (nearly two miles) on a
front of four kilometers 1.-TWO and q
half miles,.
The marines captured German ma
chine guns, turned them upon their
former owners and advanced within a
quarter of a mile Of German battery
positions. where the field guns were
firing upon them from the open.
Germans Lose Heavily.
The Americans dashed on with won
derful elan and inflicted particularly
sanguinary losses on the Germans.
Every square yard of terrain was dot
ted with enemy corpses after the battle
The French war Office IN It's night
communique, says 270 prisoners were
taken.
1t is believed an entire German bat
talon was put out Of action.
Take Ten Foo Machine Guns.
Our marines, supported by light ar
tillery and machine guns, drove the en-
emy out of the vieully woods, swept
up Hill 142 in the face Of whitening ma
chine gun fire, seized ten enemy ma
chine guns, killed or captured their

positions thru terrific hall Of machine
gun fire, but, pressing onward. they
burst thru the unconsolidated German
defenses scattering the foe like chafi
and inflicting bloody losses with their
rifles and automatic pistols.
Break Thru Enemy's Line.
The American advanced assaulting
waves broke clear thru the enemy's
lines, approaching within 400 yards OF
Krupp field gun positions and In two
instances American groups iniltrated
right among the enemy gunners, rout-
ing them and preventing them from
serving their pieces.
A,tho the Americans were unable to
maintain the position, the advance was
extremely successful in the center. AS
the French were going forward on both
wings they encountered concentrated
machine gun fire which greatly ham
pered the assault.
The attack was aimed at obliterating
a salient protruding into the Franco
American lines and the men went over
the top at o'clock at the sound OF the
officers whistles. without preliminary
bombardment. AS it was surprise
operation, artillery preparation waa
dispensed with.

Chicago, June 7.-nnproved weather
conditions tended. today to ease the
corn market. Nervousness over dam
age in Iowa seems.to have largely sub
sided. Opening prices, which ranged
from a to y cent lower with July at
s1.o4B to sls6A and August at s1.S6%
were followed by a moderate additional
setback.
Later a scarcity OF offerings was ap-
parent aand shorts covered freely. The
result was sharp advance in price.
The market closed unsettled. ~

s1,371s to 1878 and August at sl.3s.
Oats.
Oats sympathized with the decline
in corn. The seaboard showed but little
anxiety over making purchases. After
opening u to 4 cent lower, with July
at 671s to SIX. the market continued
to sag.
Provisions.
Provisions ascended owing to small
ness Of receipts and higher prices at
