Boches Attack British.


London, June IA strong enemy
party this morning attacked one Of the
posts recently established by the Brit
ish southwest Of Merris, on the Flan-
ders front, the war office announced to-
day. The attack was repulsed.
| The German crown prince continues
his desperate attempts to overcome
! the difficult forest regions barring his
way into the Disc valley, and altho
heavy fighting continues his progress
Is slow.
The enemy has progressed about a
mile on a narrow front northeast OF
Villers- -Cotterets, but French troops
show much determination and valor in
counter attacks that altho reports from
Paris indicate it may be necessary to
give further ground In face Of superior
| numbers there exists a hope in the
handling OF the French forces by Cen
eral Foch.
Tho American forces near Bou-
resches are showing grit In holding Oft
the German attacks. x
German Losses Enormous.
The battassia regarded Here as con-
test between opposing reserves. It Is
known that The crown prince has been
compelled to draw on the reserves of
Grown Prince Rupprecht Of Bavaria.
The enemy losses have been far
heavier in the fye days OF fighting
than during any previous engage
ment on the Aisne.
The view OF military experts still is
that the enemy's main attack has not
yet been delivered. There is much
speculation whether the attack will be
made with the aim Of reaching Paris,
or what is regarded as most likely as
an effort to divide the allied armies. :
Germans Blame Wilson.
Amsterdam, June 14.-The United
States is blamed for Costa Rica's dec

Kolnische Volks Zeitung, which says:
President Wilson will find that at
the final settlement the votes will not
be counted but weighted and Costa
Rica will have to account to us for all
material damages even when full pro-
vision Is made for its dependence on the
