GERMAN HIGH COMMAND MAKING
MIGHTY EFFoRs TO HALT THE
CHAMPIONS OF VICTORY IN
FORWARD SWEEP.
BY Associated Press.

Mighty efforts are being made by
the German high command TO check the
allies advance through Picardy to-
ward Peronne, Roye and Noyon on
the northern end of the battle line
the British have not been able to pro-
gress rapidly during the past night,
although London reports unofHciaHy
that the village of Praye has been
entered.
In the center strong German coun-
ter attacks seem to have held up the
advance against vital points along the
line. There is an unconfirmed report
however. that Roye has been aban-
doned by the enemy.
On the right the French are still
gaining ground steadily. They have
reached the nearest hills west of the
Oise and have rirtuaIly cleared the
Matz valley Of the enemy.
The battle is still confined within
the limits fixed when the French ex-
tended the fighting area to the Disc.
1t has been expected that the combat,
might spread along the Hne especitI-
ly northward, but this development
has not yet been reported
Interest in the Picardy battle noNa
centers upon the German efforts to
stabilize the front along the line from
Albert south to Chaulnes and To 60
check French efforts to envelope the
enemy's position at Lassigny.
There has been an enemy effort
which has bet with a measure of sue
cess to held the northern flank of the
line firmly while the allies have pushed
eastward in the direction of Peronne
and Ham. On the southern end of
the front, the Germans have been un-
able so far to do more than slow
down the progress of the French.
In this sector an important ad-
vance is reported in the fact that the
French have reached Antoval. on the
crest of the hills west of Ribecourt.
In the Germans drive earlw In June

Reports would appear to indicate
that the line where the present heavu

on which the Germans have decided
to stand definitely on the defensive
On the contrary the present lighting
