ENEMY ATTACK UPON LOCRE |S ATTEMPTED

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. June 6.-(By the Associated Press)-An enemy attack against the French in the neighborhood of Locrc last night met with a repulse. although the Germans apparently succeeded In capturing Locre hospice which lies just southeast of the village.
 The operation was a local one with Locre as its objective. The hOspice was gained after hard fighting but when the assaulting troops tried to advance further they came up against such a grilling machine gun and artillery fire that they were, forced to abandon the attempt and fall back to the hospice, which at the latest reports. they were still holding.
 This bit of ground with the buildings has changed hands many times within the last few weeks. Locre and,the hos pice lie well upon slope which cul- inmates in the important elevation | known as Mont Rouge. northwest.

Huns Reinforce Front
 So hard pressed have the Germans been by the attacks of the Americans in the Chateau Thierry sector during the last few days that they have been compelled strongly to reinforce their front. Thus far, however, their efforts have been unavailing The Americans would not be denied their objectives
 Stand in Fear of Attack
 To the northwest around Neuilly Ia Poterie, where recently the Americans have dealt the Germans several savage blows. and captured portions of the ter rain they were occupying. the enemy now seems fearful of another on- slaught and is deluging the region with shells. No infantry attack by either side has been reported, however.
 May Try on New Front
 It seems not improbable that the Germans soon are to ask the Ameri- cans to show their merit as fighters in a battle on the St. Mihiel sector. south east of Nerdun. American patrols re- port heavy movements of troop train, from the northeast passing westward behind the Foul sector in the direction of St. Mihiel.

SAN JUAN, r. R., June 6-Angered by the news of the sinking of the Porto Rico liner Carolina by a Ger man submarine, an anti German dem onstration broke out in Ponce last night. Numerous houses occupied by Germans were stoned. Much feeling exists against Germans or persons who have expressed pro-German sen timents or who in any way have at tempted to justify the sinking of the Carolina. The feeling runs particu- larly high against Spaniards of sup posed German sympathies.
