 AMERICAN WAR WORK
Republican A. F. Leased Wlre1

PARIS. June 19-Because of the in- creasing number of American soldiers in France and the increasing degree of American participation in the war, the government has decided to create new sccretaryship for Franco-Am ican war cooperation. The new de- partment, which will form part of the premieTs office, will be headed by Captain Andre Tardieu, who, however, will remain as French high commits sioner 10 the United States. He r-ill divide his time between Paris and Washington.
 Premier Issues Decree
 Premier Clemenceau sent this after noon to President Poincare the follow ing letter with the draft of a decree which, when signed, will be effective tomorrow:
 The development of Franco Amer ican war cooperation makes it neces- sary to give thorough unity of drec- ton to all measures looking to it's com pletion-this as well in France as the United States
 Assure Unity of Action
 The creation in 1917 of high com mission of the French government at Washington has assured this unity of direction for all matters to be settled lin the United States. A central office of Franco American affairs has, since December 1917 and under the direc- tion of the under-secretaries of the prime minister's office, had under it's care certain questions to be treated in France.
 Continually Increasing
 Just now the American forces are Increasing considerably. and a contin- uous increase is expected in the next few mdbths. These considerations have led The to the idea that the cen- | tralization of efforts is necessary and that it is expedient to strengthen still | further the direction of our cooper ation with the United States. in plac- (Continued on Page Two)

AMERICAN PATROLS
 CAPTURE GERMANS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, June 19.-(By the Associat- ed Press. 1.-Two American patrols crossed the Marne east of Chateau Thierry early this morning. They es- abolished contact with the hostile forces, killed a considerable number of the enemy and brought back pris- oners. These were from Landwehr units which is taken as an indication that no hostile attacks are intended at this point in the immediate future.
 In the Dark of the Moon
 Heavy clouds obscured the moon and slight drizzle had just begun to fall when the two parties of Americans embarked in small boats and rowed across the river from two points of the wooded bank. They crossed without detection. One party entered the wooded side held by the Germans and penetrated cautiously under the droop- ing trees for a hundred feet. A break in the clouds suddenly let the moon light through and the Americans saw Germans nearby. The Americans i'm mediately opened fire from a little rise in the ground and the Germans threw themselves flat. Rifles cracked and then the automatics got into ac- tion.' Those of the enemy who re- mained alive fled or were taken .pris- oner. Twelve enemy dead were counted before the patrol made it's way back to the boat and rowed to its own side of the river.
 Meet Party Going on Guard 1 The other patrol met another enemy party, apparently sentries going or guard. Several of the Germans were killed or wounded and one was taker prisoner.
 1 In connection with these exploits | can be said that not a single German patrol has ever crossed to the Amerl- can side of the Marne.
 Late this afternoon American ma chine gunners discovered a hostile party in considerable numbers appar. ently making ready to attempt to eros: the river But after these guns wer, | turned loose for a few minutes, tht enemy abandoned whatever plans h' 1 had.
 l The American artillery east an( west of Chateau Thierry for severa hours late last night and this morn ], ing deluged the army with shells. Tn projectiles burst along the roads ant billets.
 The enemy retaliated today witt numerous long range batteries, but al
 were ineffective.

 ROME, June 19.-The text of to- days official statement follows:
 "On the night of June 17-16 and in the course of yesterday, the enemy did not renew his attack from the Asiago plateau to the Montello. His partial actions were completely repuIsed in the Grappa and MonteIlo region.
 We carried out thrusts on the Asiago plateau, the allied detach- ments capturing many scores of prisoners and two guns.
 With unceasIng pressure we shortened the front opened by the enemy south of the MontebeIIuno railway. Our artillery with deadly concentration of fire did not give truce to the enemy masses waiting along the front of the battle or in movement in the back areas.
 Yesterday morning was calm on the Piave river, but in the after noon the battle broke out furiously again.
 "New attempts made by the enemy to cross to the right bank from San Andrea to CandeIu were repulsed. On the embankments of the river between Candelu and FossaIta the strenuous defense of our troops tried the enemy sorely and his impetous attack was broken by our infantry.
 "Equally intense was the strug- gle which ragged in the sector of Fossalta and to the east of Memolo and north of Capo SiIe. Every yard of this sector was engaged in a terrific struggle in which thou sands of machine guns poured a deadly hail into the vulnerable targets offered by the enemy troops forced into the narrow space on the right bank of the river.
 "The battle is continuing bit terIy. The enemy in order to pre- serve some of the initial advant- ages gained by him takes no heed of the immense losses which our rifle fire and the guns of our air men have been infIicting in the past five days.
 "Prisoners taken since the be- ginning of the battle amount to 9,011. Many guns and several hun dred Austrian machine guns re- main in our hands.
 "The number of enemy airpIanes brought down now amounts to 50 Two of our own or allied machines are missing"

 "The southern wing of the army group of Field Marshal Won Boroe- vic has made steady advance and has obtained fresh advantages. The Fossetta canal has been crossed at some points. The Ital- ians are stalking everything in or der to stop the advance. In nar- row stretches prisoners have been taken from the numerous units which have been thrown together.

 "The division under Colonel Gen eraI Archduke Joseph broke through several Italian lines near SovilIa at the southern foot of the MonteIIo.
 "Thc number of prisoners in creases.
 "On the mountain front the cap- lures between the Piave and the Brenta, southeast of Asiaeo, which we took on the 18th, again were the objectives of bitter assault. In spite of great sacrifices the enemy was unable anywhere to obtain an advantage.
 "On Dossoata the Italians again tried fruitlessIy to advance.

SHOCKERS
 RECEIVES SHOCK IF
 LIVES NEAR RE|MS

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE. June 19.-(By the Associated Press. )-Larse units of German shock troops which have been concentrated on the western side of Reims between Nrigny and Ornes and which went over to assault last night, were met with an awful fire from the French defense that they were unable to make the slightest headway They suffered such losses after trying time after time to reach the French positions that only few of the attackers were able to re- turn to their own lines.
 Forty Thousand Attack
 When the Germans launched their attack on Reims their intention was tu deal a heavy blow to compensate for their failure to capture Compiegne. Forty thousand troops participated in the assault along the front extending from Nrigny plateau to Sillery, with orders 10 carry the city at all costs They met with dismal defeat.
 At every point they were repulsed with heavy losses. In a most gallant manner the French troops prevented the enemy from scoring even an initial success. The artillery preparation lasted for several hours and was one of the most terrific yet carried out High explosives from hundreds of can non intermingled with numerous poison gas shells.
 Are Soon Thrown Back
 To the east of Reims the Germans at first made some advance, but were soon thrown back to their own original position and a number of them were taken prisoner
 At noon today the gunfire still was very heavy, but the attack may for the moment be regarded as a complete de- feat for the attacking forces.
 The attack on Reims was executed by four separate columns of troops The first converging on Souves wooo. northeast of Sillery, obtained a mo- mentary foothold in the French lines but was immediately elected with heavy losses.
 Do Not Reach Trench
 The second debouched near the ar tillery range eastward of Reims but it did not even reach the allied posi- tions. The third column tried to reacn the Constantine farm and proceeded in the direction of Haubertte west oi Reims but was unsuccessful while the fourth operated between Rigny and Ormes,' bearing chiefly toward the last named village, but equally without result.
 The Germans suffered severe cas- ualties in the latter region.
 The admirable counter battery work of the French gunners upset all Ger man plans, their shells doing great execution among the enemy. Enemy concentrations in the vicinity of Jan vrey were waiting to enter the com bat in the event the first onslaught succeeded.

TURKS FACING
 WAR BECAUSE
 PERSIAN ACTS
Looting of American Mis-
 sionary Hospital at Tabriz
 Is Very Likely to Bring Expected Declaration
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Attacks | by Turkish troops on the American consulate at Tabriz Persia, and the footing of an American missionary hospital in that city, reported to the state department today was believed in some quarters here to presage the long anticipated declaration of the eX- istence of state of war between the United States and the Ottoman empire.
 Diplomatic Severance Diplomatic relations between the two governments have been suspended since April 20, 1917. when Turkey withdrew Abdul Hak Husshein Bey, who had been acting as charge of the Turkish embassy here since the com pulsory retirement of the regular ann bassador. which followed his open criticism of the United States govern ment.
 Just Short of War
 Necessarily Amer ican Ambassador Morgenthau was obliged to leave Con- stantinople and since that time the re- lations between the two governments have been just short of actual formal enmity.
 Recently there has been vigorous demands in congress for a declaration
 
 States and Turkey and Bulgaria, but President Wilson and the state de- partment have not regarded this step as necessary or desirable, since there has been no actual collision between American and Turkish or Bulgarian troops.
 Furnish Necessary Grounds On the face of reports of American Minister Caldwell at Teheran, officials were inclined to believe that the sack ing of the American hospital. a Pres byterian institution, over the protest of the Spanish consul in charge as rep resentative of American interests, fur nlshed the necessary provocation for open hostilities between America and | Turkey.
 The advices, however, were meager and the minister explained that he was only transmitting reports of matters not of his own knowledge
 Americans Believed Safe | American doctors and nurses who have been stationed in the hospital. were believed to have left Tabriz be- fore the Turkish troops arrived Cor don Paddock, the American consul in that city, reported to the departmen, last May 29 that he and all of the | faiicl iOdnS anu l0e bFlIlSn were pre- pared to leave the city before the ad- vancing Turkish army, consequently it was not believed that Americans actually were molested.
 First Deal With Persia
 Some officials pointed out today that since the attacks on the consulate ana hospital occurred in Persia, the United States first must Mold the Persian gov ernment to account, as it is responsible for the safety of foreigners and then property within it's borders. However, because of the peculiar and uncertain relations between Turkey and Persia, the assertion by the former of the right of sovereignty over Persia, and the recognized inability of the latter to resist the Turkish troops, there is little doubt here that the Washington government will hold that the respon- sibility for the outrages has passed to l Turkey and that if the first reports are substantiated, the existence of a | state of war between TuESey and the United States must be declared.
