GO THROUGH THE HUN LINES
American Marines Attack the Germans
Penetrating Enemy Lines on a
r 6o0-yard Front.

With the American Army in France.
The United States Marines attacked
the Germans after daybreak and pene-
trated the German lines for about two
thirds OF a miie on a 600-yard front
In the Belleau wood, northwest Of
Chateau Thierry. The Germans now
hold only the northern fringe Of the
wood.
The Americans captured two minen-
werfers, which are the largest pieces
yet taken by them. 1t Is expected
that one will be sent to Washington
and the other to Annapolis.
Major Edward J. Cole. commanding
the machine gun battalion. captured
several German stragglers during the
early stages of the attack Numerous
machine guns, it is believed, will be
rounded up in the woods.
The Ninth and Twenty.third Regi-
ments of Infantry, comprising what IL
known as the Syracuse brigade, hold
the ground on the right of the marines
at the point of the front nearest Paris
This is the second time the Syracuse
brigade has held the point on the line
nearest the capital, the former oc-
casion being at the offensive when
the allies were still falling back, and
the Ninth and Twenty.third went in
at Coulomb for short time. The
Twenty.third captured machine guns

DREADFUL PRICE
FOR SMALL GAINS
GERMANS RUN INTO SLAUGHTER
HOUSE IN THEIR NEW
OFFENSIVE.
CHECKED ON BOTH WINGS
Powerful German Smash Has Not
Brought Enemy Results He Had
Expected-Desperate Assaults
With Masses of Troops.

With the French Army In France
Fighting in this war probably never
has been more severe than that going
on In the great battle of French and
German armies between Montdidier
and Noyon.
The Germans, attacking on ground
where the entente allies were ready to
receive the shock, have found them
selves thrown into a slaughter house,
whence most of them never will make
an exit.
At the conclusion of the first "a
hours of the new battle the impress
sion gained is that the powerful Ger
man smash has not brought the enemy
the result he expected. The allied
line is bent in the center quite insig-
nificantly and the resistance the
French are opposing on the actual
position of the combat appears to be
efficacious. Extreme violence was
the dominant note Of the first day and
desperate assaults with huge masses
of troops seem likely to continue for
some days.
When the masses of German infan-
try came over, entente allied troops
spread lightly in the forward works
fell back coolly, fighting yard by yard
20 the actual line of resistance.
After the German infantry had start
ed, four hours Of the most intense
fighting had brought them only partly
across the allied advance zone. They
were battered thoroughly by the allied
artillery, whose target was so plain
that the enemy's losses must have been
frightful with very little to compen-
safe him for his sacrifices
When the German infantry began
coming over in the densest masses
they encountered Immediately an ex-
tremely hot fire from both machine
guns and artillery, which moved them
down. Ever since, as fresh waves en-
tered the conflict they were subjected
TO similar punishment.
The German progress must not be
taken to mean that the German forces
have overcome the defenders, who in
tended from the beginning to retire to
their actual lines of combat as soon
as the action deVelonad

Praying for a Miracle.

Thomas A. Mott, superintendent Of

story of little girl who had been
taught to believe In miracles. One
night, following hard examination at.
school, she went to her room and be-
fore climbing into bed she offered her
customary prayer. Her mother was
standing near and was surprised when
the girl prayed: 'Please make Bos-
ton the capital of Maine" When the.
prayer was finished her mother asked
her why she wanted Boston the capital
of Maine.

The enemy succeeded, at an immense
cost, in pushing his advance from a
mile to three miles deeper into the al

ernmost point of the salient, he was
about seven miles from his starting
point.
The fighting was almost unprece-
dented in fury. The Germans, continu-
ing to attack in compact masses, we're
moved down by the allied gun fire.

and when position is finally taken
by the enemy 1t is frequently prompt
ly retaken by the French. In these
counter-attacks the French invariably
find the ground Uttered with German
dead, the bodies often lying in heaps,
The Germans, it is estimated, had
used between 20 and 80 divisions. AS
the enemy's advance is slow, he Is
able to bring UP his light artillery,
while the heavier guns are still being
fired from their old positions.
The artillery strength of the two
armies is almost equal, although the
gun fire of the French is more effec
tive because the French are more ia
miliar with the ground. The fieIte
ness of the fighting and the inflexible
determination with which the enemy
accepts his shocking losses, indicate
that he is determined to continue until
complete victory or complete exhaus
ton ensues in the decisive battle OF
the year.

all states except Arizona for the mo.

100000 more registrants. This was in
addition to 10000 negro men requisi.
toned from 20 states and brings the
total number of selective service men
called to the colors 1,596,704 and when
they are in camp the nations army
will number well over 100000 men.
The registration last week appar-
emily was attended by the perfect or.
der that marked the enrolling year
ago Of 100000 men who form the
great reservoir upon which the nation
is drawing to furnish the balance Of
power to crush the German war ma
chine.
The men who appeared before the
$500 local boards over the country
have become of age since the first reg.
istration day, June 5, 1917. Military
authorities estimate that from their
number there will be had 100000 men
fit for active duty.
While an act of congress requires
that the new registrants be placed at
the bottom of the class to which they
are assigned, many of them may soon
be called to the colors, as requisition
upon governors probably will exhaust
the first class in some states.
Registration days for men hereaf-
ter becoming 81 years of age probably
will be fixed every three months. 1t
is estimated that 100000 men be-
