say about the Cambria affair, says
the 'Frankfurter Zeitung."
I'VE have obtained possession of
several English orders, and, there
fore, have definite information as to
the design of the English undertake

reads: The aim of this undertake

to throw the cavalry through the

The order for the cavalry runs:
Our aim is to break through the en-

through the gap thus made, so that
they can take Cambria, Bourbon Wood
and the crossings of the River Schedlt.

 Capture Town from 200

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, June 7.-(By The Associaed Press)-The fighting last night north- west of Chateau Thierry ragged witn great fierceness for five hours The Americans captured Bouresches and entered Torcy Twenty five Americans in Torcy engaged and drove out 200 Germans and then withdrew to the main line on the outskirts of the town. Corporal In Command
 A remarkable story is told of con- pany of marines, all the officers of which including the sergeants, were put out of the fighting. A corporal then assumed command and the men pushed on and obtained their objective Hundreds of French children lined the main roadway to Paris this after noon over which American and French ambulances were carrying American wounded. The children waved their hands and cheered the Americans.
 As far as is known no Americans have been made prisoner by the Ger mans
 No Towards Present
 Private John B. F'locken of Olney, Ills. one of the first men to reacn 1 Torcy, said today: T never saw such wonderful spirit. Not one of our fellows hesitated in the face of the rain of the machine gun fire, which it seemed impossible to get through. Every German seemed to | have a machine gun. They fought like wildcats but the Americans were too much for them"

TEMPORARY HALT AT :.
 LEAST IS SECURED
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June T. News from the Aisne battle front continued reassuring today to military observers here. it being increasingly evident that the German thrust had been brought to at least a temporary halt. Whether the failure to press his advantage viz orously means that the enemy is ex- hausted for the moment and must have time to bring up fresh troonss guns and stores before renewing the drive, or that he is planning blows at other points along the front is not yet clear
 Aside from the strategic significance of the halt, the main topic of discus sion today was the brilliant work the American marine attachments, now known to have shared in the defense of the Marne line at Chateau Thierry and to the northwest of that place. l News of the full scope of the counter operations in which several towns have been won back by the Americans and their French associates is awaited
 with keen interest
 ! On the face of the map. it is thought l here the German situation demands that the Germans renew their efforts
 to widen out to the west. The enemy's | position looks precarious and no mat ter how determined the allied supreme
 command may be to conserve man power. it is regarded as certain that any glaring German weakness would 1 be quickly seized upon for a powerful 1 counter thrust.

CLASSIFICATION
 ORDERED BY CROWDER
[RepubIican A. p. Leasec Wire1


 WASHINGTON, June With the double purpose of increasing the num- Der of men available for military ser vice, and of insuring fairer adminis- tration of the selective service law, Provost Marshal General Crowder to- day telegraphed governors of all states, asking immediate re-investiga- tion of the draft classification lists everywhere.
 Class one, already exhausted in some localities by the repeated calls. contains 2S.7 per cent of all the reg istrants, according to the national average but percentages in the 4,5OO local exemption board districts very materially both up and down from the average figure.
 By stacker marriage" and un- grounded claim of right to industrial or agricultural expemption. General Crowder believes. some registrants have imposed upon the local boards to escape service, while in other dis tricts an application of the regula- tions has been perhaps stricter than is intended. The governors and the appeal agents are asked to investigate and upon evidence to ask boards to e-classify men. Assistance of the public through supplying information to the boards also is asked
 It was said today that with the gradual exhaustion of class one, un skilled farm laborers whom the boards have been allowed to place at it's bot tom will have to go to cantonments There will be no change in this policy and the only relief, it is declared, will come from enforcement of the work or fight order generally.

WESTERN UNION MEN {. CRITICIZED BY BOARD
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

ST. PAUL. June 7.-Sharp criticism of officials of the Western Union Tele- graph company for their alleged re- fusal to abide by the decisions of the national war labor board and protest ations of labor's united support of the governments war policy were voiced late today by officials of the American Federation of Labor speaking at pre- convention meetings. According to President Samuel Gompers and Secre- tary Frank Morrison, the action of the telegraph officials is in direct violation of the purpose of the board and has a demoralizing effect upon the morale of working people.
 This propably will result in Presi- dent Wilson communicating the West ern Union Telegraph company and enactment of legislation by congress for taking over all telegraph and tele- phone companies during the war" Sec retary Morrison said.
