PERSHINC' s MEN
PAY DUE HOMAGE:
To DEAD HEROES

With the American Army in France,
May 80 thy the Associated Press 80
From Flanders to Switzerland and
from the battle line to the sea the
American eNpcditiOnary forces today
are laying homage to their dead.
Wherever American flags are flying
the star Spungled Banner and flow
crs viii be placed on virtually every
American grave.
At one place in the vicinity Of Lunc-
Vile the graves had been decorated
in the morning darkness the enemy
could not see clearly, for ,he soldiers
performing this duty might have
drawn the German fire rs id the
burial party
Another early ceremony took place
at one Of the largest of the base hos
pitfalls where the uurSes md some OF
the less seriously wounded men visited
tho graves and covered every mound
with "a flag and crowned each with
wrcaths The last resing places Of
American women who have died In
tho service Of their country as nurses
were honored equally with those Of
the soldiers who had fallen in the line
of duty
Up. close to the American lines
northwest Of TOul, khalfi-clad troop
crs, with the dirt of the trenches still
clinging to them, lined up before the
hallowed spots whore the fallen sleep
and participated in services in honor
of the dead.
on the hillside between Nancy and
Luncyilc where the first Americans
Killed in the war are buried in a little
enclosed plot in the Franco American
cemetery the ceremony was also held
at an early hour. Here the graves
were literally smothered under heaps
OF flowers and wreaths brought by the
French population Of the surrounding
country. Many of these tributes We're
in place long before the services
started, having been brought to the
cemetery and laid on the graves the
previous evening.
From the air men of the American
flying forces swooped down and scat
tered flowers over the spot where
Major Lufbery and other American
heroes Of the air lie buried.

attest News From AiSne Bat
tIefieId Shows That Germans
Are Not Pushing on With
Their Accustomed Vigor,
tsv noNnlne yousnA. srtel.. Lr.ssD Anssi

London, May 3O.--Tonights news
from the battlefield Of the Aisne is
mere favorable, inasmuch as the al
lies are holding the enemy on the two
flanks at Soissons and Rheims and
the Germans rate of progress has
been slowed down The danger is
by no means past, however, and hot
fighting continues along the whole
front especially to the southwark,
the German official statement claim
ing that they are fighting their way
toward the Marne from Fere- En-Tar-
denoiS.
According to the statement, the
enemy claims to have taken 5000
prisoners and tremendous amount
Of booty in cannon and material.
The indications from official and
unofficial reports are that, while
continuing his efforts to widen his
salient, the enemy appears to be
turning the main din of his move
ment westward, doubtless with the
intention of capturing the railroads
connecting with Paris. The push
souhward to the Marne is an attempt
to cut the Paris-Chalons line, in the
opinion of military critics here.
There is some disagreement as to
whether the German high command
is likely to make a greater main at
tack, elsewhere, but the movement
for Paris seems to square with the idea
of the German perss that political
motives call for blow at the French
armies, and that this is of equal inn
portance with a strategic effort to
reach the sea either through Amiens
or further north, with the intention
of dividing the allied forces
CriNcisms are beginning to be
heard here whether the allies air
supremacy was employed to the best
advantage, since the Germans have
been able for a second time to as
semble huge forces for a surprise at
tack on thinly held section of the
allied line.

Although the Germans in the last
three days apparently have advanced
at rate of bout five miles "a day,
there has been nothing to indicate
any. danger Of a break through along
the whole front of attack. No such
moment has cone as that in March,
when a hole was made between the
French and British armies. In the
Aisne battle it is apparent that Gem
eral Foch has so thoroughly welded
the two armies that there appears lit
tie danger Of a rupture.
Officers here believe that reserves
from the Somme front reaching the
Nsne sector in strength and reserves
that have been held in tho region OF
Paris. will stop the thrust within u
very few days at most.
The difficulty facing General FoCh
it is said, is determining to just what
extent he may use the reserves at the
Somme and Flanders front to block
the attempt on the Aisne line.
1t is believed here that the real pur-
pose of the German high command is
to force a withdrawal of reserves
from the Picardy battle theater which
would permit Of a renewal Of attack
there in the Amiens sector. The
French left wing on the Aisne front,
running now from the western APP
proaches TO scissors up to connect
with the old line is holding stubborn
ly. Unless the enemy forces his way
ahead to the west from scissors and
compels q retirement from the sa-
lient in the allied line north and
east of that place, no important mill
itary gain can be seen by officers
here in what already has been ac-
complished.
General Toch may soon face the
necessity Of calling British reserves
over to help block the road to Paris,
