.FOCH NSTE!ONG COUNTER ATTACK
WAR SUMMARY

Smashing the German line on
the left wing the French have
advanced mile on a front of
seven and one-half miles and
threaten the German gains on
the center and along the right
bank of the Disc. At the apex
Of their advance the Germans
are within seven miles of Com
peigne on the northwest. On
the French right center the
Germans have gained four miles
along the Oise to Bethancourt,
but apparently have not budged
the allied lines on the left bank.
The furious fighting which
has marked the present German
attempt since its inception on
Sunday continues unabated
from south of Montdidier to the
Disc. Regardless of heavy losses
the Germans are bringing up
divisions of fresh troops.
In driving back the Germans
on their left the French men
ace all the enemy gains in the
center and right center of the
battle line. If the French ad
vance continues the enemy is in
a fair way to be caught in
pocket in the hills between the
Matz and Disc.
French Take 1000 Prisoners.
Bellau rood, to the south, and
the heights of Courcelles and
Mortemer were retaken by the
French. The Germans battled
stubbornly and suffered heavy
losses. The French also took
1000 prisoners and several guns.
Heavy fighting is taking place
around Chevrincourt and An
theuil. This is the center OF the
German advance. and the
French hold the heights to the
east, south and northwest.
Berlin, in its statements OF
tuesday night, reports the re-
pulse of French attacks south
west of Noyon, but claimse no

One of Air Service Production De-

London, June l2.-There will be
some surprises on the western front
when the American air program is
in full working order, says a spe-
cial correspondent of The Times in
concluding today his authorized de-
scription OF the work of the Ameri-
can forces in France.
There are already large produc-
ton departments, several huge fly
ing schools, repair shops and sup
ply centers in France. and also plen-
ty of pilots who. the correspondent
is convinced, are among the best
fliers at the front.
One OF the typical air service de-
partments which the correspondent
visited covers an area six miles by
one and a hall miles. There the
construction, assembling and repair
of American airplanes will soon be
going ahead on scale never before
known.
An intermediate section, compris-
ing a variety of enterprises over a
large section OF the country, skill
fully linked by rail, looms large in
the American plan for the quick
handling OF stores for an army OF
millions. AT one point, it is added.
rows Of steel structure warehouses
are being built to hold supplies for
thirty days for million men.
Everywhere, the correspondent
concludes, there is an air of sup
pressed energy. The first years

IN ARDMORE
H. c. TILTON, WHO FOUND
Cool RECEPTION AS BOOK
AGENT, HELD IN JAIL.

Ardmore is not good place in
which TO sell a book entitled The
Life OF the Kaiser" in the opinion
OF man who gave his name as
Fl. c. Tilton. He is in the county
jail.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. 7. F.
McKelvey, who resides at 20 c
street southwest. telephoned the
she-iff's Office that man had been
at her house trying to sell a book
OF that title. ames Carter, deputy
sheriff, went TO that locality and
found the man just leaving the
house at 2lS c street southwest and
going toward the one on the cor
ner. He arrested the man and found
he did not have any books with him,
not even sample copy, but only
subscription list. 1t was not shown
that the man was trying TO collect
any money in advance, but this was
perhaps due to the fact that he did
not get far along with his story until
he was informed that no book Of
that kind was wanted.
The man told Deputy Carter that
he came here from Madill and was
going back. as this town had been
worked and he could do no business
here. He maintained to the officer
that the kaiser was the greatest man
who ever lived and argued that il
he was not. it would have been i'm
possible for him TO have accom-
plished what he has in this war. At
one OF the houses the man is re-
ported to have inquired if German
people lived in the next house. and
on being told that they were OF
German extraction. he said That

He is held for investigation and
his case may be turned over to the
