MORALE Of HUN
SOLDIERS BEING
LOWERED, CLAIM

Paris, June i3.-The attack south
west of scissors on the front between
the Aisne and tho Marne has been
broken by the violent resistance of the
French, says a Havas correspondent
telegraphing from the front. The en-
emy. he says, has made progress
which is absolutely insignificant at a
price of heavy losses.
In addition, he points out, the Ger
man drive has been held up for several
days and the morale of the German
troops is suffering in consequence.
From the unprecedented number of
prisoners who surrendered without
serious resistance, the Echo DE Paris
infers that the morale of some of the
German soldiers has been lowered,
The Matin expresses similar opinion
based on the frightful losses of the
enemy. In spite of violent assaults on
short front, delivered by five Ger
man divisions, slight progress was
made only in the region of Dommiers
and Cutry and the Petit Journal says
that the Germans will not obtain their
objective because their formidable sac
rifices will not permit them to con-
tinue their efforts with the Intensity
shown at the beginning of the battle.
| If the Germans have still at their
command numerous divisions, Gener-
al Foch possesses the nucleus of units
strong enough to face any possible
new attack, says the L'Homme Libre

London. June 13 (via Ottawa.) -
There is growing tone of optimism
in the English newspapers today as II
becomes more apparent that the Ger
mans have been checked. The Teutons
certainly compelled the French 10
withdraw at the northern end OF the
salient on the right bank of the olse,
including Carlepont wood, but tne
French retain the long belt of terri
tory north of the river Aisne and iit
is TO threaten this from the rear that
the Germans launched the new attack
south of the Aisne on a very Wide
front.
AT the same time 1t is pointed out
nv military critics. the Germans were
lnlked in their efforts to reach Com
piegne frontally and they hoped TO
attain their object by this outflanking
attacking. Compiegne still is eighteen
miles west of the new operations, with
the forest of Compiegne Intervening.
The limited success OF the German
offensive on Sunday. the heavy losses
Of the German and the vigor of the
French counter-attack sharply distin-
guish the present struggle from the
March battle. A favorable feature OF
the development is the general ten
dency of the fighting to rivet an IN
creasing proportion of the German re-
sources in the south. There is DOW
no talk of more formidable German

The pope complains OF the sad per-

afflicted not only by the indescriba-
bic horrors of this war, which without

threatens to drag poor Europe to the
bottom Of an abvss. but also by an
insidious and skilful campaign of
calumnies and hatred against the
person of the pontiff and his work .
The pope, IN recapitulation of his

says that his efforts to bring about
peace have been misiudged and mis-
interpreted, even his silence about this
