WAR SUMMARY

SiStance on the western side OF the
AiSne salient is strengthening. Sun
day, apparently, was the poorest day
the German advance has had since
the offensive was renewed a week
ago today.
Although able to push back the
French line between Scissors and
Noyon, the Germans have been un-
able to break it. and while continu-
ing their strong attacks there. are
making most violent attempts from
the line OF the Marne to north of
the OurcQ. The intention probably
is to outfank the northern sector by
forcing back the sector south of
Soissons to west OF Nillers- Cote
retS.
Heavy fighting continued all day
Sunday east of Nillefs-CotteretS and
the forest of the same name east OF
the town. Late Saturday the French
had retaken four towns in this re-
gion. Under the enemy pressure the
French~a again were compelled to
give up Faverolles. about three
miles southeast OF Nillers-C -Cotterets.
French Assume Initiative.
Assuming the initiative west OF
Neuilly st. Front, the French re-
captured Passy-en-N -Nalois. southeast
of Favcrolles. and Hill 1863, nearby.
German attacks elsewhere south
ward toward the Marne at Chateau
Thierry were repulsed, Paris re.
ports.
The Germans have not crossed
the Marne, and apparently have not
made strong efforts to do so.
They now hold greater part Of
Chateau-Thierry, with the French
maintaining a foothold in the west
ern section
On the eastern wing the Germans
who crossed the Dormans- Rheims
road and took Nille-en-Tardenois
have been driven from Champlat.
Around Rheims the situation is un
changed. the Germans probably
hoping that their advance from
Vile en- Tardenois will outhank the
allied troops in the Rheims sector.
In seven days the Germans have
driven a dangerous salient in the
allied line and have met with some
success in attempting to link the
new salient with the one driven to-
ward Amiens in March,.
Foe Gets Much Booty.
In addition to their other cap
lures, the Germans took huge
amount OF Franco-American stores
at Fere- en- Tardenois, the booty in
100000 artillery shells, much
other material and 1000 vehicles.
There has been little activity else
where on the western front, includ-
ing the American sectors. British
airmen continue their bombing raids
and have accounted for 25 more
German airplanes. On the Toul sec
tor in a combat between four OF the
American airplanes and six German
one enemy biplane was
shot down and one American ma
,hine sent down in flames.
German airmen again have drop
,ed bombs on hospitals behind the
British lines. The raid lasted two
lours. One hospital was demol-
shed and a large number of patients
md workers were killed or wound
ID by the raid.
Revolution Plot in Russia.
A counter-revolutionary plot
which involves large part of Rus
ia has been discovered in Moscow
nd Petrograd. A state Of siege has
,een declared in Moscow and many
rrests have been made by the boil
hevik government. Some import
mt rail lines and functions have
cen captured by mutinous Czecho-
lovak troops, while in the south the
Cuban and Don Cossack districts
hreaten revolt.
The food situation in northern
.ussia is said to be serious now that
he Ukraine is in German control
nd the Kuban and Don districts
re being harassed by counter-revo-
ltionarv organizations.
