PARIS, May Jl.-The text Of the
French official statement today fol-
lows
The Germans extended their ei-
fort on their right as far as the
Disc by violent attacks In the
region Of the Ailette. The French
iell back, fighting, on positions to
The north Of the line OF Bler3n-

In the region OF Soissons and
further south the German attack
broke down before the heroic re-
sstance Of the French who main
tanned their position in the west
ern outskirts OF the town and along
the road TO Chateau Thierry.
In the center the Germans sue
ceeded in making a slight advance
in the regions north of the Marine.

The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1918-05-31

That is the secret of our command
The Germans have no illusions as t.
the value of the success they have
gained. They know We have several
million picked troops forming in
maneuvering masses which they will
have to encounter-somewhere.
IF the enemy had the choice OF
ground for the offensive, we have the
much more important choice of the field
OF battle on which Germany's destiny
will be decided.
No Cause for Alarm.
1T will be seen therefore there is no
ground for alarm We probably are
witnessing the preliminaries to a grea,
battle WHICH both sides wish to be de-
cisive. Consequently it is comprehen-
sible that our commanders do not act
hurriedly, but strictly in accord with
plans agreed upon"
