HUNS HIT WHERE F0CH IS
BEST PREPARED TO STAND

now, as it did then. The Germans
sought in 1914 to capture Paris
and so end the war in the west
before Russia could develop her
major offensive. In the same man.
ner, Hindenburg is now attempting
TO rush to Paris in the hope that
he can end the van before Amer
ica's major offensive begins. There
is this difference however, be-
tween the situation then and now:
The allies had no large force of
reserves protecting the road to
Paris in 1914, while General Foch's
principal reserve strength Is at
present concentrated southwest of
Compiegne, where he is strongly
blocking Won Kluck's old pathway
to the capital.
AT no point south of Amiens are
the allies better prepared to resist
the German advance than between
Montdidier and Noyon. Every 100
yards gained by Hindenburg in this
sector can only be at a cost in cas-
ualties equalling the highest
slaughter of German man power
during the Picardy offensive.
General FOch has a splendid rail-
way service running into the Com
piegne for the rapid movement Of
troops.

Sunday June Notwithstanding
the great forces the Germans threw
into the line today when they opened
their offensive between Montdidier and
the Disc, they did not achieve any con-
siderable advance.
The enemy apparently hoped by
weight of numbers to break the line
on this sector, which he failed to do
during the first half of April, when
so many severe engagements resulted
in the Germans being stopped short.

fore the Frcnch resistance yesterday
evening and last night. the French
official communique indicated today.
Gains of about q mile were made by
the enemy in the center and on the

the initial penetration of three miles.

troops advanced again northwest of
Chateau hierry, taking $50 prisoners
and 80 machine guns.
In the center the enemy. bringing up

reaching the southern part OF Cuvilly

tinuing their attacks in the region of
Brussaires on the Marine front, gained
more round and took prisoners.

throughout the day, however. every
tooL OF territory wasscontested bitterly
ana the line maintained perfect cohe-
sion despite all h efforts OF the Ger
mans TO pierce 1T. The slight progress
the Germans made cost them dearly.
The allied left flank held Just as
solidly as their right and the German
advance was limited to the ccupatio
or 4 Few trenches without affecting the
strength Of the positions.
Evidently the Germans hurled all the
forces available in the front line 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.
Fine Target For French.
The Germans had to bring up their
troop at the last moment in order to
avoid giving alarm to the allies. As
the columns arrived they were COM
PEELED to deploy from the column of
march into the line of attack. This
operation which takes some hours. ex-
poses the men to an unpleasant artil-
lery fire unless the element of surprise
lis preserved.
The German attacking troops COM
ing out to envelop the heights of Bo-
cages and Riqueborg dominating the
Matt valley, offered n splendid target
TO the French gunners. The enemy
had to throw in division after division
before he was able to drye his way
orward to Reasons Sur-Matz and
Mareuil along the Roye road, which
was swept by French fire.

According TO advices from the front
the Germans have thrown more than
OO.GO0 men against the line which
measures q little over 20 miles in

Great Britain Plans to Check Rising
Price Of Civilian Footwear, Uncle
Sans Consular Reports Say.

The British government will 60 into
the shoe manufacturing business In or
der to check the constantly rising price
of civilian footwear, according to Un-
Gle Sans consul at Huddersfield.
1t is proposed that four classes shall
be manufactured under government
control, two for men and two for boys
and youths. Those for men will cost
from lbs. to los. Cd. ($3.16 to 81 per
pair, and those for boys and youths
los. Cd. ($2.55) and above. These
standardized boots will be especially
adapted to the needs Of agricultural
workers, quarrymen. and miners, and
for common ordinary town wear by
artisans.
II the shoes lack finish and style
they will excel In durability. 1t Il
claimed, for only stout quality OF
leather will be used. As the govern.
ment controls all leather supplies
there will be no shortage Of raw ma
terial. Probably "kips" will be used
for the uppers, as this material Is moi
stout enough for the regular army
boot. Later. standardized boots fol
women and girls may also be pro
duced.
