Likewise south of the Aisne, the pected oppOsition, and nOtwith- standing the large numbers of men they have thrown into the battle their gains have been relatively small. East of Soissons they pene- frated to the village of Lavcrsine, hut were unable to advance on any of the other sectors, although at one time north of Courcy French trenches were entered under the force of the impact. A counter being recaptured almost imme- diately.
 The sole result of the enemy,s attack on the Montdidier-Noyon line up to the present is that he has. by the violence of his attacks east of the Disc and the forced re- treat of the French from the re- zion west of the stream. plotted out the awkward Noyon salient
 
 into direct alignment with that be- ginning at the Aisne. And a ter rible price has been paid by the Germans for this rectifica ton of the line. Whether they are pre- pared again to offer huge sacri- fices in bending back the other salient from the Aisne to ViiIers totfercts and bring the Picardy and Aisne battIefieIds into a more continuous front remains to be seen.
 In addition to the large number of prisoners taken by the allied forces, 10 cannon, four being heavy weapons, and large number of machine guns have fallen into their hands. The German war of- flee admits the loss of some Ger man guns. but asserts their forces have taken at least 1JO allied guns and more than 15,00O prisoners.
 The Germans again have endeav- OHeu tO AOFce the Americans from positions captured northwest of Chateau Thierry but again met with defeat and the loss of nu- merous men. The attack was de- Hvered between oBuresches and the beIieau wood. but nowhere was the enemy able to gain his objectiyes.
 American officers and men to the number of 10S, fighting on the Toul sector. have been awarded the French war cross for bravery and fidelity.
 Aside from Macedonia, the op- erafions in the other theatres of the war continue of q minor char acfer, consisting mainly of mutual oombardments and patrol en- counters. In Macedonia the French troops have captured territory to a depth of nearly nine and bag

Washington, June 13.-1n view of what has been happening during the past few weeks, officials here tonight were in- clined to regard as a bit of grim humor the report from Berlin via Holland tna; the German government is about to de- clare the eastern American coast d danger zone and to warn neutral ship ping of its purpose.
 kaiding submarines have already served warnings of the danger in mole torceful terms than Berlin is formulat- .ng Several of the IS vessels sunk by the raiders were neutrals, carrying no war supplies Neutral governments are not likely to have overlooked that taes' warning or no warning.
 MAY CONTINUE RAIDS
 It is recognized. however, that the forthcoming warning" may prove to be n it rmal announcement of zone II Anlerican waters where ruthless sinking of all ships is to be the order of the day, fofecasting continuing menace off At lanttc ports through regular submarine patrols.
 Officials here have been fully awake to the fact that such patrols could be maintained if the German authorities thought the results obtained justified the taking of a large number of boats from operations off the French and British coasts.

GERMAN CRITICS
CHANGE TONE AS
U.S.. SPEEDS UP
Press Breaks Silence, but
Seeks to Minimize
Peril

Washington, July 13.-The Ger
man press has been forced by Ameri-
can military Intervention in France
to abandon its inspired policy of
silence regarding the activities of
the United States. according to dis
patch from an entente government
received here yesterday. 1t quotes the
admissions of a noted military critic,
saying:
Very characteristic are the con-
fessions which Stegemann, the Ger
manophile military critic, was oblig-
ed t. make in the Bund of Berne.
Their tone is no longer the same as
Ii was. If the war; he declares, does
not end in 1918, 1t is no longer pos
sible to assign term to it, either
from political or military point of
view. The allies are awaiting the
battle with growing confidence. They
stiil have reserves at their disposal
and the multitude of American re-
endorsements supplies them with
moral guarantee"
Admits Understanding Us
''In regard to the importance of
this aid, Stegemann confessesr that
his last estimates already have been
exceeded. We estimated he said,
the Americans at 100000 fighting
men. We are obliged to add that
these figures are rapidly rising. The
first million already have been eX-
ceeded. The most difficult problem
consists in preparing this mass for
mobile warfare. The English, who
have improved with astonishing sue
cess the setting up of several million
men, have experienced this difficulty.
But is the French army, with its
highly trained headquarters staff, its
excellent officer corps, its troops full
of suppleness and quick at adapting
themselves to existing circumstances,
which provides the brain and mar
row of military resistance for the
entente? The forces of the German
army will find themselves faced by
French, British and American

decision nearer. But can the political
consequences be foreseen? That is
another question:
