although the Germans may feel out the
opposite bank of the river by making
efforts to cross at various points. The
principal object Of the enemy, however.
appears to be to make such progress
westward as Is possible before he Is COM
PEELED TO accept battle on a grand scale.
The Allied troops feel the enemy has
reached the virtual end OF his rush.
Ground is now given up only when the
Allied commanders consider il useless
to hold it. and when combats occur they
are fought on much more equal basis
than heretofore
The troops have never lost confidence,
even in the most serious moments OF
their retirement. in their ability to pre-
vent a breach in the line. and now with
British and French re-enforCements ar
irving rapidly the morale Of the Allied
armies is higher than ever.
The Germans at the beginning of the
offensive followed out a system of filter
ing through the Allied lines. Bodies of
picked troops would find their way
through thinly held portions of the line
and then would open fire on the Allied
troops from the rear. This feature OF
the offensive is now giving way in most
/ places to attacks in massed formation

Paris, June 4.
German ingenuity could not have con-
trived more effective bit of casual cru
city than was inflicted on a group of
refugees arriving in Paris just after
midnight one morning this week. There
was trainload of them. only one of
many rainloads-women. children and
old men--coming all day from the newly
invaded territory about Scissors. But
the midnight arrival of this particular
group was almost on the instant of the
beginning of the Paris air raid.
They had just a moment to get a
glimpse of food. light and comfort then
darkness shut out the sight of food, and
the greetings of the nurses were drowned
by the warning shrieks Of the siren
whistles. The refugees marched through
the blackness Of the streets to the near
est subway shelter, where they huddled
together during the two hours the attack
lasted
They were to be received and fed in
big shed on the plaza in front of the
railroad station. Comfortable seats were
provided for everybody. and cots for
those no longer able to stand or even to
sit. There were cribs for the babies and
tables UP and down the long room were
loaded with food. French and American

The first refugee to enter the plaza
shed was siN-year-old boy wearing a
miniature cap and uniform of French
blue. His mother. carrying baby. was
pushing the boy along in front of her.
He was so tired and sleepy that he could
hardly walk. For an instant the light of
the room dazed him. Then he saw heaps

His mother did not have to push him
then. Instead, he seized her by the hand

table. The mother. laughing. followed
as fast as she could with her baby.
Behind this vanguard there swarmed

second the hungry little boy in French
blue would have had slice of bread
In one hand and piece of meat in the
other. But the German airmen had
other arrangements.
The first signal gun sounded. Sirens
began to shrek overhead. a noise much
more nerve-racking than the explosion
of bombs. Every light went out. The

along the front Of the new offensive.
The Germans have accentuated their
movement to the south o. the forest of
Villers-Cottcrets and in the valley of
the OurcQ, and at the same time are at
tempting to push forward further to the
north between the Aisne and the Disc
Rivers. This is indicated clearly by their
concentrations of troops.
The enemy is able to command the
norton Of Chateau Thierry which lies on
the northern bank of the Marine, but the
Allies still retain the southern portion.

The Germans having crossed the Dor

series of attacks months ago with large
masses of German artillery, has been

now must enter upon the phase of
