yesterday launched a highly successful
counter attack southeast of Mont

Towards the center the enemy
launched several attacks today but
the line held firmly although some
enemy detachments succeeded in fill

the wooded country.
Yard by yard the French fought
while the Germans tried to push
them back by sheer force OF num-

in gaining a little ground but at the
cost of a fearful sacrifice.
South of the river Disc and also
south of the Aisne the Germans
showed much activity today, endeav-

The spirit of the allied infantry
men when they went forward in their
counter-attack yesterday was heavy
high, although they knew the enemy
facing them was several times their

When the enemy was seen to be
retiring, although still making a
fierce fight in order to hold his gains

the allies dashed forward with, If

livered at dawn Monday.
All Italy was thrilled by the nows OF
this fact, which is considered prob
ably the most remarkable performed
by any navy during the war, in rs
much as it was effected by such small
means.
Commander Rizzo sent two torpe-
does into the leading dreadnought,
while the second dreadnought was
struck once by a torpedo from ire
other Italian craft, in charge of Com =
mauder Milazzo,
After both commanders had return

An Atlantic Port, June t2.--How
the American steamer Edward Pierce
escaped both shell fire and torpedo
from German submarine off the
Virginia capes Monday night in a
stern chase that ended only when
coast lights were sighted, was related
mere TO-DAY by Captain Wade. master
of the vessel. The attack came soon
after the Norwegion steamer Henrig
Lund was sunk l20 miles east of Cape
hatteras and probably was made by
the same submarine.
Captain Wade said his first warning
of the presence of the sea wolf was
in a flash of light and shell crossing
his bow. II was dark and the captain
decided that he would depend upon
that and speed to save his ship. All
steam was croweded on the vessel
a zlg-zag course was run. The
submarine continued to fire but the
craftsmanship of the gunners in the
darkness was poor.
Finding his guns unavailing, the
German, according to Captain Wade
launched a torpedo but ii went wide,
though the captain and members of
the crew saw 1t pass their vessel at a
rapid speed. The chase lasted for two
hours the submarine evidently draw
ing off when the coast lights came
into view
Captain Wade said his wireless calls
were answered by the Cape Sable.
Nova Scotia station and the American
steamer Walter d. Noyes The latter
vessel reported on its arrival here
that il had sighted what was belived
to have been submarine but the
Moves was not attacked.

FOOD SHORTAGE
IN MEXICO KEEPS
ARMY IN STRAITS
Long Marches Made With No
Other Substance Than SCant
RationS C0nnandeered on
Route,

Juarez, Mex, jane z. --- Horses,
burros, rabbits and roots often form
the only ration for the Mexican sol
dier who marches miles across the
hot, sandy deserts on the scanty food
he can commander enroute.
Troops have been passing through
here recently marching to the Ojin-
aga district without any commisary
supplies other than the half starved
horses and mules which they are
often forced to kill to obtain food and
few bags OF Mexican beans which
are boiled over camp fires and sea-
soned with a few chill peppers Yet
these soldiers are apparently sturdy
men and have been known to march
all day and fight all night without
stopping for rest or food.
Since the days of the Mexican war
of 1S4S the Mexican soldiers stam-
ina on his unbalanced and scanty ra-
ton has been the marvel of Amer
lean military men, The Mexican army
frequently lives on the land and the
fare is as bare as the land over which
they pass.
Aside from the lack of proper,
nourishng food, the Mexican sol
dier's life in the field is miserable.
He is whipped for the most trivial
infractions of the military rules, with
the flat side of a saber or a heavy
stick. He is forced to wear rags for
a uniform, his feet are covered only
with thin leather sandals and the
only covering at night in the noun
tain country Is tattered Zerape or
shawl. Yet the Mexican common
soldier can and does fight bravely
after the Mexican fashion and is
obedient to his superior officers even
to the point of charging machine
gun single handed.

June ~ (by the Associated Pross).-
Details concerning the beginning Of
the battle between MOntddier and tho
Disc show that on Sunday morning
fourteen German divisions (about
10000 mem joined IN the first on
slaught OF these, five chosen dlyis-
ions were detailed TO break through
the ccnter of the French line. These
included regiments of guards and
Jaegcrs.
All tho units engaged had been
brought to fullest strength having
been reinforced after the March and
May offcnsives Since the beginning
Of the battle other divisions have been
thrown into the line.
The allies, who had suspected that
an attack was about to begin, were
spread in deep formations, the first
lines being just sufficiently manned
to delay the enemys rapid progress
until the action developed, and in the
meantime falling hack, fighting to the
real line of defense,
owing TO his great strength the
enemy succeeded in forcing his way
through a depression forming the
center of tho allies position, but the
flanks held more firmly.
The German detectives for the first
dav were Tricot, Merry and Belloy. The
last two they managed to capture on
Monday, after terrible fighting. but
their hold was but temporary, for the
French, with wonderful dash. came
back yesterday and forced them to re.
tire, sorely punished.
The second days objective was
Compiegne, but his arrival there was
prevented and he is still some dis
tance away.
1t is the general impression that the
battle will continue for some days,
during which other slight fluctuations
in the line may occur but the evident
results of their first dash nro disap-
pointing to the Germans who, seeing
themselves held there, may turn thelr
attention elsewhere.
