OF the total number OF American troops
in France, but II would be an illusion
10 suppose that those figures represent
corresponding increase in the allied
fighting strength. We know, however,
that the training OF American troops
is proceeding apace and on scientific
lines and we may expect from hence
forth TO learn from the communiques
that the American shared battles in the
future is becoming increasingly import
ant.
The supreme war council and Gle
sneDceau, with all the facts before them,
expect this growth of American aid TO

first to defeat the enemy's offensive,
and then to attack successfully in our
turn. But II is clear that il IS our
plain duty to make every possible effort
both TO tide over the interval until
America can take greater share and
to shorten the war by gaining the neces-
sary superiority of force on the western
front at the earliest possible moment.
1t is therefore, disappointing to learn
that the voluntary contribution which
Ireland is asked to make is to be limited
to 10000 men by next October Clemen-

Allies to Face Many Anxious

LONDON June 8-The declaration
OF the supreme war council, issued
through the press bureau, and its COM
plement, M. Clemenceau's speech on
the military situation, delivered in the
French chamber OF deputies, deserves
most careful consideration.
Neither attempts to conceal the
gravity of the present situation (though
the former deals with a very light hand
the enemy's achievements since March
Il, which are described as some initial
successes) and both emphasize the solid
reasons we have for hoping for better
times to come.
Must Meet Other Crises.
The supreme war council points out
that before the tide turns we must be
prepared to face other crises, but that
if we allies do our duty, we shall pull
through them, and having as a whole,
greater resources than the enemy, can
in that event look confidently to the
final result.
To put the case bluntly, we find our
selves, broadly speaking, in a situation
IN which we were in 1914. Then we
had not made adequate preparations
for the struggle for national existence
The undeveloped asset of the entente
was the military power Of the British
empire, and it was a question OF hold.

equipped, trained and placed in the
field.
In 1918. having again failed to make
adequate preparations to meet the situa-
ton caused by the collapse of Russia
and the massing OF the German troops
IN the west, we are once more holding
on, but once more with an asset TO
lcvelop the military power of the
.nited States.
Anxious Days to Come.
As to the immediate situation have,
| hope, made it clear that the enemy
has in getting to the Marne employed
much less force than he did in the
battles of the end OF March and of the
beginning of April last and it will be
quite contrary to all our experience Of
his methods if he stays his hand before
he has thrown in every man he can
make available, while, further, Austria
has up to the present taken no hand in
the campaign of 1918 Therefore, there
will be anxious days before the allies
are gradually relieved by the steady
increase of American forces In the field

WlTHTHE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Sunday. June o,-Not-
withstanding the grea, forces the Ger
mans threw into the line today Then
they opened their offensive between
Montdidisr and the Disc they did not
achieve any considerable advance.
The enemy apparently hoped by
weight Of numbers TO break the line
on this sector, which they failed to do
during the frat half OF April when so
many severe engagements resulted In
the Germans being stopped short
Infantry Waves Held.
Time after time increasingly dense
waves Of infantry attempted 10 pierre,
the allied defenses. Southwest o.
Noyon however. they could not pro
duce any effect on the determined troop
holding the front line, The defender
were as firm o. rocks and held III
enemy tightly In check
In the center Of the attacking
front where the allied line was
weakest, owing to terrain condi-
tions, the Germans were able to
reach Ressons-sur-M Mats and
Msreuii, q distance OF nearly three
miles The slight progress the Ger
mans made cost them dearly.
When the real line Of resistance was
reached, however, the cnemy's advance
was checked and small counter attacks
delivered immedi-'~lv by the allies
were successful in reganing ground
Delugsd With Gas.
Before the infantry attacked the Ger
mans deluged the allies line to a
depth of at least six miles with poison
gas and high explosive shells, The
allied guns replied Immediately with a
fire OF terrific intensity IN order 10
hinder the enemys advance, When the
enemy attack finally came It did no,
affect such a wide front as the artii-
lery preparations.
Throughout the day every foot OF ter
ritory was contested bitterly and the
line maintained perfect cohesion, de-
spite all the efforts Of the Germans to
pierce H.
Hoped for Quick Success.
The allied left flank held just n
solidly as the right and the German
advance was limited to the occupation
Of few trenches without affecting
the strength OF the positions,
Evidently the Germans hurled all he
forces available in the front lie into
the combat with the hope OF obtaining
an immediate success before the allies
could take proper defensive measures,
but they found before them a much
more vigorous defense than they ex-
pected.
