ing engaged about fifty divisions in
the present battle between Noyon

The present week undoubtedly will
develop whether Ludendorff intends
to engage these last reserves in the

cisive battle-or will allow the

and hold these reserves for a fresh
drive elsewhere. In the latter event
he would again seek to OBTAIN the
advantage by third surprise at

some other objective calculated to
give decisive results.
The new battle OF the Marne can
be divided into five sectors, where
the Germans are now Obliged to con-
centrate their efforts toward any
further advance.
Sector one is on the extreme right
of the German line, south OF Noyon.

Sector two consists of high, de-

toward the Aisne. The Germans
were checked at the summit of the
plateaus.
Sector three comprises the Sois-
son region. including the Atsne valley,
Sector four consists of high plat

Sector five is the Chateau-Thierry
region and includes high plateau

objectives, facing their right and left
wings and center.
In sectors one and two, comprising
the Germans right, they seek to at

Noyon, down which they would filter
toward the junction with the Aisne,
near the CompieSIe. The latter city
is their first immediate objective.
In sector three the Germans have
two great objectives. The first is
that of progressing westward along
the Aisne valley to attain both the

PARIS, June 5.-The Intervention
Of American forces In the new battle
of the Marne has been most effective.
Their feat in throwing the enemy
back north Of NeuiIly LaPorterie
wood has proven that the allied re-
serves are Of the first quality.
Although the impetus Of the Ger
man drive has been stopped, the
battle has not yet reached its full de-
veIopment. Fresh troops are expected
to be thrown in by both sides.
The situation is much better. VII
, Iaaes have been lost and retaksn
with the gains about equal. The en-
emy has been unable to pro9ness be
tween the Disc and the Asne or be-
tween the orcq and the Marne where
he is trying to pusi, toward Meaux,
(twenty-one miles from Paris).
Before the Germans can continue
their drive toward Paris, they must
take viiIersIcottres forest (about mid
way between Scissors and Chateau
Thierry). They have attempted this
unsuccessfuIIy for the last three days,
despite heavy reinforcements.
(Villers Cottres forest extends
from a point about six miles south
west Of Scissors to a point about fif-
teen miles northwest of Chateau
Thierry. From those points it ex-
tends westward for about ten miles.
The battle line extends all along the
eastern edge of the forest from
Troesnes northward past Longpont)
South of the Aisne the French line
passes through Chaudun Give miles
south and west Of Soissons) has
been brought back about three kilo-
meters (about one and three-quarters
miles) to the northeastern edge Of
the ViIers-cotterets forest. This has
greatly improved the French posi-
tions here, suppressins a sharp sal
lent.
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
may be permanent.

Following the successful resistance
to all enemy attacks yesterday and

a point where the allies are holding
the Germans on the entire front be-

Any serious effort to advance else

been abandoned.

against the American coast He let it
be known emphatically that the navy
will not be diverted from it's main task
by this foray.
Further evidence of the scorn with
(which America views the German U
boat extravaganza was shown today
when Secretary McAdoo announced a
reduction in the insurance rates on
masters, officers and crews of merch-
ant vessels coursing the war zones.
Fifteen cents per hundred dollars in
stead of twenty-five cents will be the
rate now and corresponding reduc-
tions have been ordered in rates ap-
plicable without the war zone.
1t was stated there will be no ad
vance in war risk insurance rates on
vessels and cargoes either in the war
zone or in coastwise traffic.

Many troop trains are moving into

It is reported that Austrian troops
are arriving at Metz from the neigh

German airmen in this vicinity are
more numerous and more inclined to
fight, in an effort to conceal these
operations.
The activity may indicate an often
