FRENCH CONTINUE TO
SLAUGHTER THE HUNS
Enemy Pays Costly Price For His
Slight Advance.

Paris, June ll.-All the advices
from the battle front show that the
enemy is putting forth every pos
sible effort in his design TO push, to-
ward Paris. throwing division after
division into the melting pot So
far he has succeeded, in two days Of
fighting. in carrying forward his
line at the maximum point Of adj
vance, at Nignemont, a distance Of
six miles. In this he has been ma
terially aided by a considerable
number Of tanks, which the French
artillery was II first unable to de-
molish.
The enemy further succeeded in
widening the point OF his wedge BY
bringing up two divisions OF the
Prussian Guards and two Bavarian
divisions borrowed from the army
group of Crown Prince Rupprecht.
These troops captured the villages
of Merry, St. Maur and Bclloy, Civ
ing him a plateau behind which he
can mass troops partly screened
from the French.
German Man Power Waning.
If the danger to the French is
in losing ground that is valuable in
which to maneuver, the peril of the
Germans lies in the human vast
age that is in progress. The Ger
man army as a whole has been en-
gagged for three months with slight
facilities for renewal. The balance
seems TO be in favor OF the French.
The resistance that is being OF
Tered BY the French forces in this
battle has not been surpassed for
determination during the entire war.

Chateau Thierry, in an official state
ment issued tonight giving a sum
mary OF the operations through
which it is declared that with
strong will and irresistible activity
the American troops continue abso-

The operations on June 6 in ad
vancing our line the statement
adds, gave US view OF the enemy
which permitted US to exploit the
situation. Also in the evening the
American troops, pushing forward
toward Bussiares and Torcy, and
continuing to clean up Belleau wood
from local opposition, advanced
their line for more than mile.
Finally toward 6 o'clock in the
evening some of our troops pene-
trated into Bouresches.
Americans Are "Terrors."
"The American infantry showed
itself very sklful in maneuvering
The courage of the officers and men
bordered on temerity. One lieuten-
ant, hindered in his advance by a
machine gun, threw himself almost
alone into the wood where it was
established and having killed its
crew returned with the gun on his
shoulder.
The courage of the combatant
troops was equalled only by the
magnificent GOODNESS Of certain Of
their ambulance men, who, amidst
a hail of bullets, gave first aid to the
wounded before carrying them to
field dressing stations.
