German Gas Won For Huns.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., June | -
German gas played almost major
part in gouging path for the Boche
to the Marne. Developing its use to
higher point than ever before The
Boche plastered back areas with mus
tard oil shells. Fields, woods and ann
munition camps were wei! sprayed TO
a distance of eight or nine miles PC

gave forth fumes which compelled q
retirement The use Of this gas was
more intense, senators were told by
the war council today, than anything

view here is that the Germans will
halt at the Marne and they will then
seek to consolidate their positions. At
terward an effort to spread westward
may be expected American troops
will beyond doubt have part in the
big battle within the next few days.

ARTILLERY ACTION.

Hurting the weight of great num-
bers against the stubbornly resisting
French defense north and south OF
Scissors, the German crown prince
has been unable to make progress in
this vital sector of the battle line from
Noyon to Rheims. In the center Ger
man detachments have reached the
Marne between Chateau Thierry and
Dormans, while on the east the Fran
eo-British line stands firm.
After the retirement to the line
through Blerancourt and Gpagny, the
French halted and in a series of flu
rious attacks and counter attacks
have held the enemy forces. West OF
Scissors, too, the Germans have been
repulsed with great losses and for
some ten miles south of the town they
have not advanced more than several
hundred yards in spite of assault af-
ter assault against the French de-
tense. Along the Oursq, the Germns
gained near Oulchy-Le-Ch and
threatened Chateau Thierry, an i'm

cause the Germans have advanced %
