Ccptors of Americans
Lead Them Back into
Lines of Allied Forces
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON. June 1O.-How the ca p
tors of three American soldiers on the
sector northwest of Chateau Thierry
unwittingly led them back into the
allied lines owing to the tangled con
difions OF the. fighting front. there is
told by the correspondent OF the
Times with the American army in
France.
Corporal Sidney w Rogers and
Privates Raymond Howard and
Frank P Ridgway were captured at
Hill 2O4
Two Germans started with them to
the rear, but became confused and
walked straight into the French lines
and themselves were taken prisoners.
The Americans reported that Ger
man officers had questioned them
closely as to when and where they
had landed in Europe, where they
were trained and the identity of their
units. The Americans refused to an
swer any of the questions. The Ger
mans served the American prisoners
with a nauseating compound of flour
and water as food

new ATTACKS BY
HUNS Directed
TOWARD PARIS
Important Gains Would Bring
Foe Out on Level Country,
Says Press.
(By Associated Press

LONDON, June 1O-The new Ger
man attack is directed Immediately
against Compiegne as part of the
campaign against Paris, according to
virtually unanimous newspaper COM
ment here.
In the opinion of some commenta-
tors in the morning newspapers the
section attacked is vital one be-
cause of the various detached heights
which lie across the head of the val
ley of the Disc and it's great railway
and road to Paris.
Any important gain in this direction,
it is remarked, would bring the enemy
out into the level country towards ST.
Just and Clermont and enable him to
avoid frontal attack on the forests
of Compeigne and Villers-Cotterets
which are of great value to the allies
for defensive purposes.
Such a gain, it is held, would prob
ably compel a readjustment Of the al
lied front between the Disc and the
Marne. Another object of the new
move is assumed to be an attempt to
outflank the French line in the Sois-
sons sector.

"The German push was continued
yesterday evening and last night with
the same ferocity.
"on the French left wing violent
attacks were. re aewed on several oe-
casions, but they were broken by the
French fire and by counter attacks
by our troops. The town of Ceur-
ceI!es was captured and recaptured
and finally remained in our hands.
"On the right the French forces
maintained their positions to the south
east Of Vile. Here there was bitter
fighting. The French took more tran
500 prisoners in the course OF these
various engagements.
ION the center the enemy endeavor-
ed by bringing in fresh forces, to con-
tinue his progress. He was success
full in reaching the southern edge Of
CuviIIy wood and Ressons-sur-Matz on
the plateau Of BellingIise.
Farther to the east the fighting was
continued in Thiescourt wood.

FRENCH PREMIER
SATISFIED WITH
ALLIES SHOWING
Allies Not Surprised, but
Boches Will Be, Is French
Attitude.
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS. June 10-"It was a perfectly
satisfactory day." said Premier Clem-
enceau last night In these words the
French leader accurately summed up
the prevailing impression.
Latest advices from the battle front
show that on the whole the enemy
suffered a check on the days opera
tons. The enemy gained a slight ad-
vantage in the center on a front of
three and three-quarters miles, about
a fourth of the entire line of attack.
On the wings he was stopped with
such losses that five divisions have
been put out Of commission, or about
one-third of the divisions identified I'D
to the present as having taken part in
the attack. This was done without
the French reserves being called on.
The Germans had to bring up their
troops at the last moment in order to
avoid giving alarm to the allies. AS
the columns arrived they were COM
PEELED to depIoy from the column of
march into the line of attack This
operation, which takes some hours, ex-
poses the men to an unpleasant artil-
lery fire unless the element of sur
prise is preserved.
Huns "SpIendid Targets"
The German attacking troops. COM
out to envelop the heights of Bocages
and Riquebourg, dominating the Matz
valley, offered a splendid target to the
French gunners.
The enemy had to throw in division
after division before he was able to
drive his way forward to Ressons-sur-
Matz and Mareuil along the Roye road
which was swept by French fire.
Ressons-sur is a central posi-
tion from which the enemy can di-
rect attacks southwark to Estrees-St.
Denis or southeast to Compiegne. He
is strongly counter-atacked, however,
and will only be able to develop his
advantage at heavy cost If at all.
Henry Birou, military critic, says:
Let us be wary at the beginning of
an important offensive of forming
judgments, but without prejudicing
future it is difficult not to be satisfied
with the first day
The feeling which fairly represents
the general sentiment is expressed by
