Acid Attacks on 49,.
Gotham Women

New York, June 15.-Twelve young
women were victims of strange at
tacks late last night and early today
when they were burned by an acid
thrown from a bottle or squirted from
a gun by an unidentified person. All
of the attacks occurred within a short
period of time on Seventh avenue be-
tween 46th and 47th streets.
The women, none of whom were
seriously burned, were unable to tell
the police where the acid came from
and said that the first they knew of
the attacks was when they felt pain
after the acid had eaten through their
clothes.
Four of the women were taken to
hospitals, while the others were Civ

surgeons. Police officials believe
that the acid was thrown by crank.

"This submarine business will not

THAT Is very remarkable fact

Allied strategy and tenacity in COM
bat again have checkmated blows by
massed bodies Of German troops and
the German crown prince has given
up his second offensive within a
month without either of them having
seriously affected the general situa-
ton on the western front. Except for
artillery duels lull has come to
the fighting sectors but new enemy
assault is expected soon.
In the offensive wheCh began last
Sunday the Germans used large masse
Of troops on short front For three
days they gained ground and were
rapidly forcing their way southwark
along the Aisne. French resistance
stiffened and then the French took
the offensive. German efforts to
strike south of the Aisne and reach
the Disc south of Compiegne also fail
ed after slight gain.
No Infantry Fifhting Of Moment.
There was no infantry fighting Of
moment anywhere along the front
from Ypres to Rheims, which is now
the vital section of western lines.
There Germans are probably reforming
the divisions shattered by the French
resistance of the past week.
South of the Somme and between
the Aisne and the Marne artillery
fire has been normal but there are no
indications that the Germans are pre-
pared to renew their offensive on
eight sectors. Some military observers
expect the heaviest blow will come
soon on the Picardy field with the
enemy again attempting to separate
the French and the British and reach
the coast.
Berlin reports the number of guns
captured since May p by the crown
prince as 1850. In the latest often
sive the Germans gained 1S0 square
miles of territory and captured $4,000
prisoners, and $50 guns, the poorest
showing in any of the four major
since March 21. E
Bombing Towns.
American aviatOrs on the TOul front
have been bombing towns behind the
German lines. The first American
bombing raid was again Dommary-
Baroncourt northeast of Verdun. on
This was followed Fri
day by another incursion on which 79
bombs were dropped on Conflans, a
'ailway junction midway between Metz
and Verdun. On both occasions the

Italian troops have checked success
fully enemy attempts to force pas
sage through the important Tonale
pass, northwest of Trent. Two at

en- up and 100 prisoners captured.
