Allied Left Flank Forced Bacl

Paris, June 1.-The allied left flank
OH the Aisne front has been forced
back by violent German attacks in the
region of the Ailette river, it is an
nounced officially.
Withdrawing before the German on
slaught in the region of the Ailette.
the French fell back on positions north
of Bierancourt (nine miles southeast
of Noyon) and Epagny (seven miles
northwest of SoiSSonS).
Fierce French resistance on the
Epagny- -Chaudun line (west of Sois-
sons) is preventing German envelop-
ing movement against the allied front
from the north and south.
The enemy's advance along the road
leading to Compiegne has been held
up in the center, just outside of Sois-
sons.
Although the German thrust to the
Marne at Chateau-Thierry is taken
seriously, the belief in military quar-
terS here is that the reserves of both
armies are being saved for a grand
battle. This supreme clash, it is be
lieved, will be fought on the EillerS-
Cotterets-Compiegne gne-Estrees-S Denis
line.

"Attention is drawn to the fact that
the German official communique of
May %, afternoon, in reporting the
capture of Cantigny, avoids mention
of the fact that the operation was
conducted by American troops.
"Recent marked endeavOrs of the
Germans to discount the fighting quail
