U. $. Army Men Think Ger mans Must Seek to Press
 West From Soissons.
MOST DETERMINED
 FIGHTING TO COME
Vigorous Action by French Accept cd as Indication That Reserves
 Have Been MasSed on Cha.
 tean Thifrry- -Si0SsOnS Line.

| Washington, June With the German crown princess army on the north of the Marne, army officials here believe the German advance will stop in that direction. while in- creased pressure is exerted against , the Chatea. Therry- -Soissons fine in the effort to consolidate the Aisne and Picardy battle theaters. Such consolidation is regarded as neces- sary for an advance on Paris CT for new assault on the Amiens front. This view was communicated to the senate military committee today by General March, chief of staff, during the weekly conference. Other officers studying reports from the front are known to share General March's views. Many believe that General Tech counted on just such an effort by the Germans and that the most stubborn fighting will come as the Germans seek to press westward south of Soissons.
 Already the French have reacted vigorously against the enemy at various points along the line there and with good success. This is taken as an indication that reserves have been massed for use in this sector while the Marne forms the line of de fense in the center.
 German Success Surpries
 There has no effort to disguise the fact that the success of the German blow up to this time has been sur prise. Apparently new strategy has been employed which forced with drawal of the French on an unexpect- ed scale.
 General March explained that long range fire with gas shells had played part. French positions miles in the rear of the front lines were repeat edly drenched with toxic shells and rendered untenable even before enemy infantry approached them, necessitat- ing wide refinement.
 As German efforts continue the ! war department is exerting every ef- { fort to further expedite movement of i American troops to France. In this connection an official statement from Secretary Baker as to troop move ! ments is expected soon. Pending that ; announcement, speculation regarding the strength of the American army in France has been specifically for bidden.

Between the Disc and the Aisne we withdrew to the northern outskirts of Carlepont wood and on the heights west of Aud ignicourt as far as E'ontency "All enemy attempts west and south of Soissons as far north as north of Vierzy were in vain.

On our right in the region of the road between Dorman and Rheims we have maintained our po- sitions notwithstanding continuous pressure of the enemy
 "The situation remains the same north and northwest of Rheims. Southeast of that town violent ene- my attack supported by tanks drove us momentarily from Fort Pompelle on the railroad but an immediate counter attack regained the fort and re-established our positions We took more than 200 prisoners and four tanks.

I.;+;.b General Says U. s.
 uroors Have Become Vital Factor.
bvprCTS BATTLE
 ro LAST FOR WEEKS
.,4ure of Paris, Division of Main p'rae a,lied Armies and Capture of
 Channel Ports, Are Hun Objectives, He Says.

Washington, June 1.-American sOps have become a vital factor in sreat battle in France and may Ln the balance between defeat and Tor. Gen. Bridges, head of a spec
 British Military mission to the ,ted States said here tonight in yussing the German drive.
 sThe objectives now before the .mans," the general said, "appear
 hp three-fold." The capture of lris, the division of the main allied mics by an advance thru Amiens d the capture of the channel ports. h;h now on a narrow and danger |, salient, the Germans will be in favorable position for an advance
 Paris should they be successful in bshing out the west leg of the {Ient, and joining it up with the |miens salient"
 That, he said, appeared to be their tsntion as they could be expected to h a halt at the Marne. In conceal g their preparation so as to make surprise attack Gen. Bridges said e.Germans wero aided probably by ur factors; their preponderating bnber of divisions, a good railway stem, proximity of woods to their a objectives where large numbers troops could be concealed and the |t that this front had long been or bnized for attack.
 The allies must now be prepared her to see the offensive resumed in e north soon, or to see German visions from the north sent down exploit the new success. The battle,
 added, is likely to continue for eeks and will become a long drawn lt struggle of man power with the nt.duty of the allies to husband ar resources by giving ground for len where possible.

Counter Attack Advance
 The noon report from Paris Satur day recorded considerable success in resisting this pressure. The Ger mans, at last reports, had succeed ed on this road. They were stopped for the time being at least at three miles from the road which the French first lost and then retook in desperate fighting and likewise before Chouy and Nuilly-St. Front, to the south.
 Just below Soissons the crown princes troops were forced back on the Crise river which runs north and south thru that town. In engage ments on this front several hundred prisoners were taken by the French and in the Sossons fighting especially the Germans suffered terrific punish ment
 Allies Still Hold Rheims.
 Near the Marne in the vicinity of Chateau Thierry, an important rail- way point, the situation is somewhat obscure, but the French apparently have a protecting line flung north west from the Marne at Charteves, 3 1-2 miles northeast of Chateau Thiery and linking up With their north and south line above the latter town which the Germans are strongly threatening.
 Rheims, on the left of the German advance, is still in allied hands and there is little apparent effort on the part of the Germans to enlarge their salient in this direction, except it's narrow edge. while they are making some headway in broadening along the Marne.
 The line between Rheims and the Marne takes the general course of the DormansRheims road.
 U. $. Troops in Battle Area.
 Paris military commentators report the masses of the allied reserves be ginning to take part in the action and it develops that American troops al- ed at points whence their intervention will be easy when the time is favor able.
 News from the Italian front reflects the opinion that the long expected Austrian offensive is likely to open shortly. Italy is declared to be thor oily in readiness and probably better off than ever in the way of modern war material.
 Berlin Claims Success.
 Berlin, June 1.-iSouth of the Oise,' says the official report from German headquarters today, "and southwest of Chauny, troops of Gen. Hoffman and Gen. von Francois. threw the enemy out of strong posi- tions near Cuts and south of Blern- court.

Easing his statement on accurate measurements of Zeppelin that was brought down in England last Octo. Der, on known facts regarding the lift. ing power of hydrogen gas, on the state of the barometer during the flight, on the temperatures of the air recorded in tn airship's log, Jhadoo Jahoz writes in Aeronautics as fol- lows: .'
 "It would appear from the foregoing that the latest type of Zeppelin is de- signed to be able to attain height of i7,0O0 to 1S,OO0 feet when over Its ob- jective and after dropping Its bombs, but is capable of going even higher under stress of circumstances and at the risk of suffering some slight dam age on returning to It's base. These conclusions accord well with Mfr. War ner Aliens statements that these air ships 'are built with view to flying between 16,000 and 1s,0OO feet Of course, on a short flight they could go higher, in view of the reduced Quanti. ty of petrol to be carried"
