his heavy artillery. ammunition and
stores. We have good reason to hope.
There is no immediate cause for anX-
iety on this side.
Further north the enemy, as was
expected, is endeavoring to extend the
front of battle from Noyon toward
Montdidier.
Won Hutier was certainly called
upon to send a considerable part of his
reserves to support the advance to the
Marine of the Crown Prince's two cen.
trail armies, and it is too early yet
to be able to estimate to what extent
lie has beer re-enforCed by troops from
other parts of the western front.
We cannot, therefore, judge at the
present whether this latest German eff
fort is the beginning of an attempt on
a grand scale to resume the advance
on Paris or whether it is a serious local
effort intended to draw in more of the
Allies reserves and pave the way for
future Developments. The highest esti-
mate yet received gives Hutiers at
lacking force as nineteen divisions, m
these first estimates are very naturally
usually rather above than below the
mark.
Broad Salient Created
The enemy's advance to Chateau
Thierry has created a broad salient,
the head of which is on the Disc near
NOyon and the area particularly
threatened by this salient is that COM
prised in the angle between the Disc
and the Aisne. included roughly in the
triangle of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
One would naturally expect an attempt
to pinch out this salient to have taken
the form of a simultaneous attack
upon both its tanks. The crown
Prince has not found himself ready
TO do. more than attack the northern
flank and this. combined with the fact
that Foch must have been ready for so
obvious a next step, together with the
first reports of the stoutness of the
French resistance and of the enemy's
comparatively ~unimportant gains, is
all encouraging.
The angle between the Disc and the
Aisne, which | have assumed the
Crown I-rinCe Covets, as leading him
to Compeigne, consists of a high
plateau, bounded on the north and
west by the wood of Carlepont and
the forest of OursCamps, which are
virtually extensions of the great forest
of Compiegne.. .
In his attacks at the beginning OF
the month. when the Crown Prince ex-
tended his battlefront to Noyon, he
made little progress against these woods

enemy. West of the forest of Ourschamps
other high wooded plateau, stretching
from Chiry-Ourschamps to Curry, a
distance of about nine miles. This high
ground is bounded on the north by the
River Dlvette, which runs along the east
ern part of the new battlefront, flowing
into the Disc near Sempigny. and on the
west n south by the Matz. which
enters the Disc about half way between
Noyon and Compiegne.
Plateau Important to Foe
If the enemy gets possession of this
plateau, and more particularly of the
eastern portion of 1t, which commands
the valley of the Disc. he will make the
position of the French in the forest of
Ourschamps and the wood of Garlic
pont very difficult. and will have taken
an important step toward clearing the
angle W the Disc and the Aisne
and Strengthening out the battlefront
between Amiens and Scissors. I expect,
therefore. hat Hutier's immediate OBJ
iect is to get possession of this plateau,
and that he hoped to do Sc by a drive
down the valley of the Matz, which
woul cut ii off.
Reports received up to the present
show that he has not yet got very far
toward achieving this aim. The front
Of the attacking between Chiry-Ours-
champs and Ayencourt. which lies to
the south of Montdidier, Is roughly
twenty miles.
On the western five miles of this front
the enemy on the first day did little more
than drive in the French outpost posi-
tions. and the second he still finds him
self here in low ground with all heights
TO the south in our hands.
In the center on "A tcn-mile front he
penetrated our battle positions and ad-
vanced four and a half miles down the
Matz valley to the south of Ressons-sur
Matz.
On the eastern five miles in his direct
attack on high ground. he has gained a
footing in the wood of Thiescourt, which
crowns the plateau. but further east he
has made practically no gain at all.
BY getting possession OF the high
ground just west of Marqueglise he has
helped his further advance down the
Matz valley. but he must get his center
forward, at least. as far again as it has
already advanced, before this movement
will affect the main French position on
the Thiescourt plateau.
We have. therefore. no reason to be
dissatisfied with the results of the fight
ing up to the present in this new develop
ment of the German offensive, but we
cannot form any opinion of what lies
ahead until we know more definitely
whether the armies of Prince Rnpprecht,
which face the British front, are going
to join in with their full force or are to
be ordered to send troops to assist in a
direct advance on Paris.

GENERAL KEEPS REINS
BY CHARLES H. CRASTY
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledge,

Copyright, 1918, by Ne,D York Times Co.
Paris, June IL.
America has acquired a more assured
status in European public opinion by
actual performance in the field. Hereto
fore there was more or less inquiry and
uncertainty regarding Pershing's plans.
These have covered such a wide range
and been of such magnitude that no.
body has been able to pass final judg-
ment. The sudden emergency. putting
large American units into action where
they had to sink or swim, and the show
ing made by them, has inspired fresh
confidence in Pershing's management.
From his new field headquarters neal
Foch's the American commander-in-
chief keeps in daily touch with the Gen
eralissimo and directs the movements of
the American units. Some one has
described stubbornness as the chief
qualification of successful generalship
At times Pershing has been criticized
for this quality, because he has been un-
willing to abandon ideas which he con
sidered fundamental.
A few weeks ago the feeling here was
that the German onslaught necessitated
recasting the original plans but Per-
shing. while rendering the American
help, held tight to the idea of preserving
and developing the American organiza-
ton as such. to which Americans bri-
gaded with the English and French
should return when the present emer-
gency passed.
Made Auspicious Beginning
Despite his amazing activities and
great responsibilities, General Pershing
enjoys fine health and retains his robust
optimism. | saw him today in Paris. To-
night he may sleep in Lorraine or Pas
de Calais.
Americas armies are now fairly
launched in the big fighting. However
much we may regret the losses-and
considering that we are attacking, they
are not ~heavy-we have made a most
auspicious beginning. We have had q
solid share in stopping the drive on
Paris and thrusting the Germans back
We have given our Allies new heart by
! showing our ability to assume a part OF
the burden. And troops trained directly
under Pershing have set the mark for
newer men about to enter into action
with the Allies on other parts of the
front.
The Importance of this fine examine
TO the young troops Is difficult to over.
1t shows them that American
soldiers could hold their own against
the Germans best and inspires conf.
dehce' pride and emulation. Our mer
are quick to catch this fighting spirit.
