favorable TO the Allies.

OFFENSIVE OF ENEMY
SLACKENS EVERYWHERE.

LONDON, Juno 13-The offensive
movements Of the Germans between
Montdidler and Noyon and from
south OF the Oise river to the east
ern fringe of the forest of Villers-
Cotterets apparently are on the ~ane.
In the former region the fierce re-
sistance Of the French and the allied
forces, for the time being at least
have checked the enemy at all points
and on some sectors the allies have
even turned vigorously upon the foe
and forced him to cede ground he
had gained,
Only one attempt apparently was
made by the enemy Thursday TO bet
ter his positions near Montdidier.
Here he launched violent counter
attack from Courcelles to the north
Of Mery--a front OF about a mile
and a half-but was badly cut up
by the fire OF the allied guns and
forced TO retreat, leaving numerous
dead and wounded on the field.
Likewise south OF the Asne the
invaders are meeting with unex-
pected opposition and nothwithstand-
ing the large numbers they throw
into the battle their gains have been
relatively small. East OF Scissors
they penetrated to the village OF
Laverslne, but were unable to ad-
vance 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
attack resulted In these trenches be-
ing recaptured, almost Immediately
The sole result OF the enemy's at
tack on the Montdidier- Noyon line
up to the present Is that he has by
the violence OF his attacks east OF
the Oise and the forced retreat OF
the French from the region west of
the stream, hlotted out the awkward
Noyon salient and brought, the bat
tic front more into direct alignment
with that beginning at the Aisne
And terrible price has been paid
by the Germans for this rectification
OF the line. Whether they are pre-
pared again to offer huge sacrifices
In bending back the other salient
from the Aisne to Villers-Cotterets
and bring the Picardy and Aisne
battle fields into more continuous
front, remains TO be seen.

Dog are fsappIng the strength at

foundation Of attack and defense.
They are working for the Germans
and many of them don't know IT,"
Mr.. Dodge's plan for the suppress

ner in which the boy power OF a
