GERMAN ATTACK
French Reserves Are Now in the
Line to Block Advance
on Paris.
POILUS BATTER FOES
Efforts of the Enemy to Cut Paris-Sois-
sons Main Line Are Costing Him
Dearly in Killed and Wounded
Hot Fighting Continues.

Paris, June 3.-The main German
attack in the direction OF Paris will
be met by French reserves who have
taken their place in the line.
The enemy was sharply driven back
when menacing Chatteau-Thierry and
attempting to cross the Marne at the
bridgehead Jaulgonne (half way be-
tween Chateau Thierry and Dormans).
He was equally driven back in at
tempts to reach Dormans by way OF
the Verneuil bridgehead
The main attack on Paris Is ex-
pected to come down to Ourcy from
the Fere-en-Tardenois and Oulchy-le-
Chateau line.
1t is expected the last big BATTLE
will be fought upon the Mondidier-
n-Soissons-C s-ChateauThieTy line.
with the main thrust from Noyon,
where the battle is becoming fiercer
and fiercer.
Chateau Thierry Is now entirely
evacuated The bombardment con-
tinues. The enemy apparently plans
to cut the Paris-Soissons main line,
hue his efforts are costing him enor-
nous losses. The German attempt
to cross the Marine at Jaulionne and
Verneuil suffered a disastrous check,
the French artillery cutting up the
Uhlans in the Fere forest.
Chateau-Thierry is 5S miles north
east of Paris by rail The direct all

London, June 3.-Bohemian riots
and disorder of all kinds are rapidly
on the increase.
At Chozen crowds exasperated by
police brutality set fire to the bar

The Prague correspondent OF the
Stuttgart Neueste Nachrichten tele-
graphed to his paper that the events
OF last Sunday at Prague exceeded
all the previous demonstrations.
The Neue Freie Press of Vienna ap-
peals to all conservative elements
for the preservation of the Austrian
state, asserting that "only the tenaci.

preservation Of the state can make the
monarchy survive this great crisis"

Determined Resistance.
FOE TURNS WESTWARD
German Crwn Prince Believed Seeking
To CT Paris Off From North
Poius Retake Village Near
Scissors.

With the French Armies on the
Marne, June 3.-The French are
still scIidIy holding every bridge
head and passage across the
Marine. AS a result Of this deter
mined resistance the Germans ap-
parentiy have withdrawn from the
edge Of the river to the plateau
above the river where they are
now seeking to advance to the
westward.
London, June 3.-Having reached
the Marne, the German crown prince
is.now striking westward with all the
force of the great armies at his COM
mand with the apparent purpose of
forcing the elimination of the Mont
didier salient and ultimately pushing
in below Amiens to cut off Paris from
the North
So far, according to the French Of
fetal reports. his progress has been
small, despite most desperate efforts.
On the important front between Sois-
sons and Chateau Thierry, on the
Marine, indeed, the French have been
impetuously counterattacking and at
points the enemy not only has failed
to advance but has been forced to
give ground.
Pushed Back at Scissors.
This was notably the case imme-
diately to the south of Scissors, where
the enemy was thrown back upon the
Crise river, which runs in an almost
north and south line through that
town. Further south the Germans had
worked some three miles west of the
Scissors Chateau Thierry road and
had taken the village of Chaundun
The French drove in here determined
ly, however, and recaptured the place
which they now hold. Ground also was
won from the Germans just below
near Vierzy.
Still further south the German ad-
vance had progressed somewhat fur
ther from the main road to total OF
something like four miles. Paris, re-
ports however that new German at
tacks here, in the region of Chouy and
Neuilly, were broken up, the French
maintaining their lines to the east OF
these.
No Attempts 10 Cross.
The Germans seemingly have made
no attempts to cross the Marine, and
they have not yet taken the important
railway junction at Chateau Thierry
Elements Of their advance, however

YANKEES MISTREATED
U S. Prisoners Made To Feel
Methods of BoChe.
Refused Bread, Shoes and Clothes
Taken From Then and
lnsulted.

With the American Army in France.
June "a Russian prisoner, who re-
Gently returned from Germany, has
made a statement in Moscow which is
now available here to the effect that
he saw American prisoners of war in
a camp at Tuchel, West Prussia, and
that they asked him to let it be known
that they were being treated brutally.
The prisoners said they were hungry
and penniless.
Prisoners Clothing Taken.
When the Americans arrived at the
camp, according to this account, the
Germans removed all their clothing.
They were particularly anxious to
have the Americans shoes. They told
the prisoners they should not wear ex-
pensive shoes and clothing while
working and that their property would
be taken care of until their return to
America. The Russian said, however,
that everyone knows what that means.
A consul-the Russian was not sure
whether he was a Swiss or Spaniard
visited the camp Complaint was
made to him by the Americans, and
their clothes were returned, but as
the consul seldom visited the camp
the Germans had opportunity to prac-
tice many injustices.
insulted by Germans.
The Russian said that eight Ameri-
cans who were captured several
months ago reached the camp at mid
day and, being hungry, asked for
bread. They were told bread was dis
tributed only In the morning. They
were placed in a hut with Russians af-
ter being forced in the square, where
the Germans were given an opportuni-
ty to insult them.
The huts in which the Americans
are living, the Russian said, are damp,
cold and unfit for habitation. Some OF
the Americans became i'll. Two OF
them, in a hospital, had opportunity
there to talk with the Russian, and II
was through them that he had obtain
ed information on which this state
ment is based.

SUNK ON WAY HOME
American Transport Torpedoed
by Foe Submarine.
Steamer President Lincoln Was One
Of German Vessels Seized
BY Government.

Washington, June 3.-A German
submarine sank the American trans
port President Lincoln, bound for the
United, States, at 10:40 o'clock Friday
morning.
The following statement was made
by Secretary Daniels.
"The Navy department has received
a dispatch from Vice Admiral Sims
stating that the u. S. s. President
Lincoln was orpedoed 10:40 o'clock
and sank an hour later.
Though details are lacking, 1t is as
sumed from the fact that the trans
port was returning to the United
States, that few, If any, troops were
on board. Meager reports so far re-
ceived mention no casualties.
From the fact that the President
Lincoln remained afloat for an hour
after being torpedoed, 1t is hoped that
all on board had full opportunity to
escape, provided none was injured by
the explosion of the torpedo
The vessel, registering 1902 tons
was formerly of the Hamburg-Amsfi
can line and, with all other German
merchant ships in American waters al
the time, was seized by the govern
ment when the United States entered
the war.
The loss is the second instance oi
an American transport to fall victim
to the Hun U-boats. Like the Presi
dent Lincoln, the Antilles, torpedoet
soon after the United States begar
sending troops abroad, was returning
empty to the United States.
