Americans Likely
To Haze a Part in
Great Aisr1e Battle.
/, by The Associated Press)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 3o.-The American SOL
diers are considering the part they may
rfobably play in the battle that is rag
ing to the northwest of their positions.
There is no doubt that every available
man in France will be thrown into the
combat wherever the French High
Command deems necessary. Whatever
is to be done will not be known, how
ever until the Americans are actually
engaged, for it would be inadvisable
to discuss troop movements of any
character.
The battle between Scissors and
Rheims has drained all activity from
the zone in which the main body Of the
American expeditionary forces hold
positions. Except for aerial fighting,
quiet is reported from all the fronts.

Hungary to unite themselves and their

No immediate revolution is expected
In Austria Hungary. Revolutionary
elements exist, including the will to
revolt on the part of the oppressed ma
tionaiities, according to these diplo-
mats. but actual revolt must be fos-
tered and assisted from the outside,
as the peoples themselves, under the
Vienna yoke, possess neither the means
nor the opportunity to organize real
revolution.

Italy that her claims. defined when she

Italy has simply recognized the mod :
ification Of the situation which has
taken place as result of the Russian
debacle. Up to 1915 Russia was the
acknowledged leader of all the Slavic
peoples. There Is no better evidence
Of the fact than the breaking out Of
the European war itself. 1t was on

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 3O.-Another strong
enemy counter attack against the
American troops in the Cantigny
sector, west of Montdidier, has met
with complete repulse.
The Americans have been sub
jected to almost continuous attacks
since they stormed their way into
Cantigny. In every case the en-
cmy's waves have been broken
against the stone wall resistance of
the Americans.
This latest German assault ap-
pears to have been the heaviest the
Teutons have yet essayed in their
attempt to evict the overseas men
from the village of Cantigny.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 29.-After a period of
almost unprecedented quiet, the Amer
lean sector northwest of Toul suddenly
has become very active.
Last night and to-day the Germans
threw over hundreds of shells of all
sizes and kept up a destructive and
harassing fire. The American guns
have been just as busy and are giving
the enemy more than he sends. The
artillery duel continues strong to-
night.
1t is not improbable that the Ger
mans have some plans in which they
may employ their infantry.
Counter Blow Repulsed
The first German counter attack
against Cantigny took place at 5:1o
O'Clock Monday afternoon. 1t was pre-
ceded by barrage. The second coun-
ter attack was launched at 6:14 p. m.
One enemy wave passed beyond the
American barrage, but our infantry
men drove off the Germans in No
Mans Lond.
The third counter attack was made
at S o'clock this morning, when two
German raids were repulsed with
heavy losses. The number of German
prisoners had been increased this
afternoon to 242.
score were captured this morning.
They had hidden in deep caves yes
terday and last night.
The American field hospitals won
the admiration of all Yesterday. On
one occasion officers abandoned their
mess room to nurses who were max
ing bandages and ate in the yard in
front of the building.
A pathetic aftermath of yesterdays
advance into Cantigny was. the fune-
raj service for several of the Ameri-
cans this afternoon. 1t took place in
a picturesque little cemetery near the
front, which has been recently shelled
the same as the American hospitals.
Aged French women and little chill
dren stripped their gardens of flowers
to cover the graves of the American
heroes.
The purpose of the German attack
to-day against the American positions
near Bremenil, east of Luneyille, was
to capture Americans. The determined
American resistance. however. re-
pulsed the enemy with heavy losses
and no Americans were taken prisoner.

Battle Is Unabated
Along 35-Mile Line
Allies Cling to Out
skirts of Scissors; ; Hold
Rheims; Give Ground
in Centre


Ludendorff's armies were checked
yesterday, the fourth day of their
offensive in the Champagne.
Paris officially announced last night
that the enemy was being strongly
held on both fanks, while in the
centre his progress southwark in
the twenty-four hours had been
only about three miles, the least
of any day so far.
A desperate conflict continues along
the whole thirty-five miles of the
new front.
The turn in the tide was due to the
swift arrival of Foch's reserves.
which began to take part in force
on Wednesday. AS soon as the
commander in chief was sure the
foe was committed definitely to
this great operation he drew upon
the enormous masses he had been
holding for the counter blow.
The effect is clearly seen. On the
west the Germans have not been
able to progress beyond the out
skirts of scissors. Just below
scissors they are held up on the
little Crise River Their south
ward march toward the Marne has
been slowed up, although here
they made their largest gains. and
approached Ville-en-Tardenois, 12
miles west-southwest of Rheims.
The ruined city of Rheims, the fall
OF which was to be expected, is
still in Allied hands.
The check of the Germans west of
Soissons seems most important, as
the German plan is thought to be
to make their front secure on the
south and then throw their prin-
cipal forces westward in order to
flank the Allied positions on the
Disc.
The enemy's opening success. de-
tailed accounts now show. was
largely due to an extensive use of
gas shells and tanks. The advance
has been so rapid, however. that
the foe has not been able to get
much of his artillery up to the
front.
Berlin officially stated yesterday that
prisoners on Wednesday night
numbered $4,000. Great amounts
of booty of all sorts were de-
scribed in the communique.
Guns of all sizes, including soma az
the heaviest calibre mounted an
railroad cars, munition depots.
rolling stock, hospital establish
ments, medical supplies and an
alrdrome with machines on the
ground ready to start, have been
taken, the Germans claim.
New German attempts to retake
Cantigny from the American
troops have been repulsed with
severe loss to the enemy. who
seems to be concentrating for a
still greater counter attacks. There
are signs the foe means to attack
Pershing's men in the Toul sector
also.
