ed this for the last three days. de-

South OF the Aisne. the French line
passing thru Chaudun. Is miles
south OF Soissons. has been brought
back three kilo-neters. TO the north
eastern edge OF the Nillers-Cotterets
forest This has greatly improved
the French positions here.
Three German armies on three
roads to Paris-down the valleys of
the Aisne. Ourcq and Marne--are
now blocked. temporarily, at least.
The allies are holding solid positions
along these roads. and there is every
reason to believe that the blockade
may be permanent.

SUBMARINES
& BRING GERMS?

WASHINGTON. June 5.-ThAt
the German u-boat raiders car
ried germs TO this country was
the belief of some naval officers
today. Officials warned thai sur
vivors OF the U-bosst attacks
should avoid giving away ss
souvenirs any Of the food or 9th
er articles given them by the L.
boat commanders.
While not intended 20 cause undue
alarm. u was officially pointed on,
that German submarine carried dis.
ease germs into Spain. apparently
those which caused the strange epi.
demic similar TO the grip now raging
there.
This fact. coupled with the strange
conduct OF German commanders TO
.~d U-boat victims. was regarded
as suspicious.
German commanders do not do
things that way" said one official TO-
day. 1t Is unparalleled in German
submarine history that a U-boat
should give food and water 70 its vic.
tins"

AS BATTLE ENDS

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES ON
THE MARINE, June 5.-American machine
gunners killed at least thousand Germans
in Chateau Thierry, it was estimated by
French military authorities.
The Yankee gunners, during the battle
for the city, fired tens of thousands of ma
chine gun bullets into the place. The city's
streets are filled with German dead.
In the repulse of the Germans by the
Franco-American forces, at Jaulgonne, the
enemy attacked three times before the
bridge was finally blown up by an American
detachment.
