 Tn the Montdidier-Noyon sector, the enemy attack is meeting with so lit tie success. in proportion to the heavy sacrifices he is making. that so far, the engagement may undoubtedly be characterized as a considerable allied success. The FGrench continue to hold stubbornly on both Hanks at Vile, taking over 800 prisoners.
 Tn the sector, the advance of about three miles forced by the first enemy onslaught was ofollowed on the second day by a further advance of about two miles on a still narrowed front. But for these very limited and so far. use less gains, the enemy has had to pay a price so heavy that he has at last been compelled to draw upon Prince

PARIS. June 1.-The French have struck the Germans a hard blow along a front of about seven and one-hali miles between Rubescourt and St Moure, recapturing Belloy, Geniis Wood and the heights between Courel- les and Mortemer
 The official announcement by the war office tonight of this gain says that the Germans suffered heavy loss es and left more than 1000 prisoners and some guns in the hands of the French.
 Several violent enemy attacks on Chevincourt were repulsed, but the Germans gained a footing in Mache- mont and Bethancourt, which places are being bitterly disputed.
 The text of the official statement follows:
 .'The battle continued today from Montdidier to the Disc.
 fOn the left our troops, supported by tanks. counter attacked this afternoon along a front of twelve kilometers be- tween Rubescourt and St. Mature, and notwithstanding desperate resistance on the part of the enemy, reached the southern approaches of Le Fretoy, cap tured the heights between Courcelles and Mortemer and carried our lines more than two kilometers to the east of Mery.
 We have retaken Belloy and Genlis Wood and reached the southern out skirts of St. Mature.
 The enemy, who suffered heavy losses, left more than 1000 prisoners and several guns in our hands.
 Tn the center the Germans, who 1ad succeeded in pushing forward to the south of Ioge farm and Antheull. were driven back beyond these two points by our troops. acting in con cert with adjoining units.
 "On the right the enemy increased his pressure, seeking to gain the Matz Valley.
 Several violent attacks launched against Chevincourt were repulsed.
 The enemy succeeded in gaining a foothold in MachemOnt and Bethan- court, which were bitterly disputed.

 ish fighters and the enemy immediate ly raced in for the attack.
 Within a few seconds a fire fight was in progress and the great fleet O; nearly half hundred airships were swirling and diving madly against one another while their machine guns joined in the vicious chorus that swept down to the troops on the ground like the noise from scores of steam trip hammers.
 The British out-maneuvered and out fought the enemy, and many of the Germans were sent spinning away. Whether they were merely frightened, or weer out of control, it was impos- sible to say, but at the conclusion of the fight four German machines lay in crumpied masses on the earth, and another had gone down in flames.
 Make3 Brave Fight
 Almost daily one hears of eXpe- riences in which airmen have fought great battle against heartbreaking odds. Such was the case of pilot and observer, who while flying in a battlepiane, were cut off from their patrol and were attacked by four of the enemy machines
 The British pilot fired 200 rounds into one of the hostile planes. which was seen to crash. His observers also got in a good burst Of fire at another German at close range with a similar result. That left two of the enemy and they were oined by a third scouting which began firing at the British plane from above. The observ- CT was shot and killed.
 The pilot spun his machine down to a height of 1000 feet with the scout still on his tail At that height the British aviator turned and attacked the German so fiercely that the latter was driven off. The British pilot then succeeded in getting his machine to his own lines. with his dead comrade strapped in the seat.
 The other night a British fier brought down an enemy bombing ma chine by the aid of searchlights oper- lting from the ground. Night fighting is a supremely dangerous thing, which is seldom practiced, and the core spondent can recall no other case of an enemy plane being shot down along the front under similar conditions since the war began. although the de- lenders of London have accomplished his.
