 Expected.

AMSTERDAM, June 12.-Count ydn Stein. of the Prussian war military staff. told the Reichstag that great part of the French Army was beaten According to Berlin dispatches. he asserted that the so-called Foch re serve army no longer exists. He said the success of the Crown Princes carefully prepared attacks against the French and British on the Chemin des Danes front had inflicted one of the gravest defeats that the Entente Powers have sui- fered during the war.
 Count von Stein in addressing the Reichstag says the number and strength of the Americans are far below the reports the Entente made and led Germany to expect. He said the Americans made their first ap pearance in the battle only when the German advance had been halted at the Marne river He said the Ameri cans. like the French reserves, were thrown into the battle in vain coun ter attacks. and suffered the same results.
