LONDON, June l2-There will he
some surprises on the western front

respondent Of the Times in concluding
today his authorized description Of the
work of the American forces in France.
There are already large production
departments, several huge flying
schools, repair shops and supply CEN
ters in France and also plenty Of pilots
who, the correspondent is convinced,
are among the best fliers at the front
One Of the typical air service depart
ments which the correspondent visited
covers an area six miles by one and a
half miles. There the construction,
assembling and repair of American air
planes will soon he gong ahead on a
scale never before known.
An intermediate section, comprising
a variety of enterprises over a large
section of the country, skilliully linked
by rail looms large in the American
plan for the quick handling of stores
for an army Of millions. At one point,
il is added, rows upon rows OF steel

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 1.-THE allied troops
today showed the Germans they could
not have IL all their own way, by ex-
ecuting number OF counter attacks
which we're invariably successful. Some
important territory was won back and
inroads even were made into the Ger
man positions. 1t was, in fact, a thor
oughly good day for the allies who, in
addition to regahivg ground, captured
more than one thousand prisoners.
The principal counter-attack occurred
before Domfront, near Rubeseeurt and
Wacquemoulin. south OF Belloy, front
OF about twelve kilometers Allied in
fantry, supported by tanks, achieved an
advance averaging more than mile
They retook Belloy reached the edge
of st. Maur, arrived north Of Porte and
Loges farm and obtained a foothold al
Antheuil.
The counter attack on the French left
wing, which was the first carried out
today took the French close TO the orig
inal lines as they stood Sunday The
allies also got beyond Merry in another
assault while further fierce return
blow enabled them to reach the vicinity
OF St. Maur.

DELAY IN MAILS

CITY TimesD
WASHINGTON, Jane l0.--Delay In
the tranimission Of letters and other
mail matter OF which there is incfeas-
ing and widespread complaint, is due
principally TO disorganiHation OF the
railway mail service by Postmaster
General Burleson, according to the re
suits oi an extended inveStiR Ion made
by the MeJehants' association OF New
York.
The findings OF the associations in
yestigation committee have been pre-
sented to congress with plea for an
inquiry by a joint congressional com
mittee and the postofilce department
blaming derranged and congested rail
way faeiltes for mail delayI, Is op-
posing an official investigation.

The conclusion Of the merchants as
sociation report follows:
1T appears clear 'om the great mass
of evidehcc forth in exhibits A to +
that the efficiency of the mail service
throughout the United States 10 very
much below the standards which pre-
vailed in tie pas years. While II is
not possible for an Unofficial agency
to ascertain II the fac that should
be given consideration as basis for
final conclusion, the evidence herewith
warrants the belief that q principal
cause for the existing condition. Is the
great reduction in the railway posta
car service and the substitution OF rail
Y terminal postal stations:

THE essential facts developed are
81. Tn t mails are not dis
pa. ed with foim frequency
~. That they are not fully
worked in transit
., That in consequence much
"stuch' letter mail is turned into
the terminal stations and there ma
terially delayed.
a. That inferior mails move
with extr" slownesS.
IS. That train delays are not
principal cause of slowness in
the mails, but that -.
70. lnSufficiency in the nTmber
of railway cars, their withdrawal
from a great number of routes
throughout the United States and
reduction Of the crews Of railway
postal cars appear to be the tnan
causes OF the condition shown"
Payment Basis Called Bad.
"An additional cause is the spac,
basis Of payment TO the railroads
which leads TO the consolidation o
mails upon lessened number of trains
thereby reducing the frequency of de
spatch. causing the detention Of train.

X ut is interesting to make resume Of

achieved a great success with cap

against the French. and that the car
IS credit to American engineers.
Behind the front we saw much Ameri-
