''ser71u1,s Got a
Skinful," General
Says of Failure

PARIS, June lathe position of the
latest German effort after FIVE days of
fighting is described inelegantly but
aptly by a general who has just ar
rived from the front as follows:
THE Germans got skinful."
Military commentators here are
unanimous in reporting one more Ger
man failure. The enemy has won a
strip of territory not without value
but has sacrificed for it precious di-
visions without at any point attaining
his objective and without bringing him
any nearer decisive result.
Such is also the opinion of Henri
Bidou and Colonel de Thomasson, who
would be the last person to hail vic
tory prematurely.
In its summary of the expert opinion
the Havas Agency notes the unanimity
with which the commentators have
abandoned their reserve of the last few
days and agree with Mr.. Barres, of the
Echo de Paris" in his opinion that
the offensive against Paris is ended, for
the present at least. They admit the
possibility of it's resumption sooner or
later, and see further hard struggles
ahead, but think it probable that the
heavy fighting, when it is resumed
within few days, will be on another
front
The results Of the offensive against
Paris are enumerated by M. Barres
thus: A territorial gain absolutely out
of proportion to the losses sustained;
Compiegne still in French possession;
the Allied reserve man9uvring forces
intact

!! been almost continually under sur
veillance.
Leblanc is charged with being
fugitive from justice, with melting
strikes and spreading seditious doc
trines. When he was arrested he gave
his residence as Ansonia, Conn, and
said he was employed in factory
there. If that statement is true, it is
believed his purpose in seeking Ansonia
was not in direct furtheraEce Of the
alleged plot, but to obtain a secure
hiding place, for the munition plants
in Ansonia are few and small.
Plunkett, who is secretary Of the
State Socialist party, was arrested in
Wallingford, Coan. He was working
in a factory there. 1t is not muni-
tion plant, nor are there any IN Wall
ingford. The charges against him are
similar to those made against Lehane,
but the comparative measure of his
Importance in the alleged plot is shown
by the fact that only $1,000 bail was
| demanded in his case. he Is charged
also with promoting the circulation Of
reasonable literature. It is said ne is
connected with the publication Of
radical paper.
A vigorous search of the rooms Of
the two men was made by the Federal
detectives. They did not reveal their
discoveries, but permitted it to be un-
derstood that the arrest of Leblanc and
Plunkett was only the beginning of
roundup which would end, for the
present at least, the menace of a pro-
German movement, masquerading as
pro-Irish, which has been hanging over
industrial New England for weeks.
The arrests to-day followed those of
John Mccarthy, Socialist candidate for
state treasurer, and James Rourke.

need rest badly. Ludendorgs re-
serves are low. He IS pressed for
time. But he cannot escape the ne
cessities Of replenishment and reor-
ganization. A big offensive must
first be built up. In order to keep it
going it must be continually rebuilt
And the offensive of June has been
handled far more roughly than any
other Of the big offensives which
the German High Command has
launched.
Ludendorff has undoubtedly suffi-
cient resources for another powerful
drive. He is compelled to set such a
drive in motion at the earliest pos
sible moment. When will it come and
on what front? The road to Paris
is tempting, but difficult. The prob
lem for him to solve now is whether
he will make another desperate eff
fort to dislodge the French from
their strongholds between the Disc,
the Aisne and the Ourcq or will turn
north again and try to separate the
French and the British armies by
taking Amiens and Selling the
Somme Valley down to the Channel,
thus isolating Flanders and compel
ling the evacuation of the Channel
ports.

LONDON, June 14.-The fifth day
Of the main action on the Matz River
was marked with such complete in
activity on the part of the enemy as
to suggest that this is the end of
his first phase in this region. One
might even conclude that some trans
fer Of troops will take place s'rce
the only gain accomplished by the
enemy the day before-that is the
crossing Of the Matz River and the
occupying Of the hill above Croix
Ricard-was completely undone by
French counter attacks yesterday.
Furthermore, such pressure as he
did exercise was transferred from
the field of Matz to the outskirts of
Villers-Cotterets Forest. The attack
here, which was made by five di-
visions, reached the edge Of the wood
in the northeast, but didn't pene-

during the recent fighting on the

ner, the Emperor's favorite correspond
The correspondents article, a long
one, dated May Is, on the battlefield
OF the Aisne. is printed in the Berlin
Lokal-Anzeiger." 1t records the En-
peror's explanation of the battle to his
suite. The Emperor, standing before
a map of the fighting area. says Ros-
nerr, addressed his hearers thus:
In 1914, during the battle of Sois-
sons, | was here Cat the Laffaux corner
on the Aisne 'front.'. What heavy trials
nave since been imposed upon us Ger
mans! But that is now all behind us.
We are now swinging on to final VIC
tory"
The correspondent describes the "un-
bounded astonishment" of number Of
French prisoners on seeing that the
Emperor had actually ventured under
fire.
On his return to the battlefront,
continues the article, the Emperor
beckoned the men in field gray near
him to his car and gave them graphic
description Of the German successes.
~ Aell IL TO your comrades, SAID the
Emperor in conclusion. "Tell them
that they, too, may rejoice. Tell them
also that l have told you'll, in the

ers, carried away by the Emperor's de-
scription, Rosner adds:

A further suggestion from the same
listener that the Germans would get
where they could see "those eyes"
elected no reply.

Americans Braue,
But Not SkilfuL.
Says Berlin Critic

AMSTERDAM, June 14-The aid
that the American army is bringing
the Allied forces in France is made
light of by Lieutenant General Baron
Armand Won Ardenne, the military ex-
pert of the Berlin "Tageblatt." He
says:
"The artillery counter action by the
Americans was conspicuous by its alb
sence in the fighting at Belleau forest
on June Z and 8. 1t seems, therefore,
that the American command has not
fully seized the principles of joining
the two arms Of the artillery and in
fantry. Despite the great bravery
shown by the American division in ac-
ton, it obviously lacks tactical skill in
battle routine.
"The American auxiliary army now
afioat is probably similarly affected.
Hence, If present experience permits a
generalization, the value CT American
aid to the Allies dwindles consider
ably"

troops arrive in sufficiently strong
force to turn the balance.
The heroism of the veteran troops
who in these last days have inflict-
ed such terrific losses on the flower
OF the German army has given the
foe rude shock. The Germans
probably will try to break through
somewhere else, but the Allies, with
their armies under the command of
General Foch, are confident that
they will check the Germans any

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS ON
THE BRITISH FRONT, June 12.-Field
Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, commander
in chief of the British troops in France
to-day reviewed American troops on q
wide plain in this area
The Americans filed past with an
easy swinging step that bore out the
opinion of many British experts that
they are as fit physically as training
can make them. Parading is not sup.
posed to be their strong point, but
after long march to the reviewing
ground and long wait with their
heavy packs on their backs, their align
ment, step and carriage were excel
lent.
The review opened impressively with
a salute to the colors, while SQUADRON
from the. Royal Flying Corps flew
over the field and did some acrobatic
stunts in honor of their allies. Field
Marshal Haig stopped several times to
the line.
British officers present were impress-
ed by the physical condition of the
men and by their high spirits. The
medical officers have had little to do
thus far in this zone. The health ~
the men, whether quartered in billets
or camping in the open, has been far
aboye the average.
The eagerness of the Americans in
getting at their work has made q hit
with the British. who find them quite
ready as far as physical training goes
Eeitish officers believe that shor.

modern warfare will make the Amer.

the arrest of the fugitive, jeremiah

From the somewhat guarded state

to cripple industry and at the same

1t was learned that commissioners
