Germans Are Re-

London, May 29---The Germans h penetrated a
maximum depth of about II miles into the allied positions
the Aisne 'front.' according to the claims Of the Berlin
office in it's yesterdays and last nights reports
The capture of $4,000 prisoners also claimed.
The maximum penetration was attained at only two
points in the center of the drive The enemy advance
is in the shape of double triangle The larger ones base
q miles in an airline It's apex is on the southern bank
of the Vese where the Germans have crossed the river
both sides of Msmes In attaining this advance the
Germans crossed the Chemin-d Danes and Aiette
Asne andd Vesle rivers.
Apparently the allies have thrown large reserves into
the line for the defense of Fsmes which is important
railway center.
The other triangle has for it's base the nine mile front
from Berry-au-bac to Brimont. The British who are
defending this sector have held the enemy to penetra
ton of less than ten miles,.
The French war office reported the Germans on the
Asne front greatly ounumber the allies but declared the
latter are inflictng great losses on the enemy.

CRISIS REACHED
IN ADVANCE UPON
RAILROAD CENTER
Official Washington Believes
That German Offensive
viii Soon Be Checked

Washington, May 29. West from
fighting reached a new crisis today, The
boehe advance to the vicinity of Fis.
mer, important railway center, provid-
ed a new menace comparable to his
smashes up to Amiens and Ypres in the
earlier thrusts.
However, it now appears likely that
the German is about to receive a sharp
cheek.
ReinfOreements Of the allies is pro-
ceeding. That their lines between Sois-
sons and Rheims were rather lightly
held appears the case from the fact of
the boches rapid advance. Twenty to
twenty-five divisions were employed to
make the push. This was superior to
the allies who gave ground as in the
other thrusts.
Military men, however, believe that
as in past instances, the German must
turn soon to Strengthening ous spe
flanks, repairing his losses and improv-
ing his communications. Meantime the
allied reinforcement will be such it is
believed, that the boche cannot make
any considerable further Roadway.
Army officers, who doubted that the
Scissors push was the main new often
sive are still unconvinced that the Ger
mans so intended it. They say that
the progress apparently was so much
more favorable than anticipated that
