trsnehes.. Nine wese killed, ono died
Of wounds and four are prisoners.
The Germans apparently are pro-
pairing for another attack against
the American sector northwest Of
TouI. Tho enemy artillery fire has
increased considerably. On the
other hand, the American sunners
are more than answering tho enemy
fire and the American aviators are
keeping the German machines on
their own side Of the line.

Reserves Brought Forward.


With the French Army in France,
Wednesday evening, May 29.-Allied
reserves are now taking up positions in
the battle line. They are being thrown
in to strengthen the defending forces
where they are weakest, in preparation
in placing barrier to further Ger
man advance.
Fresh enemy divisions have been
brought forward hastily to take the
place of those exhausted by the ad-
vance Of the past three days, and con-
tinue the pressure on the allies.
The territory south Of the Vesle river
which the Germans have crossed at
several points is more difficult for the
attack. Now that the allied command
has reached the conclusion that the en-
emy intends this rush to be his chief
attack, prompt measures are being taxi
en- to stay the movement.
The enemy is still pushing on with,
every atom Of strength to gain posses
sion Of as much territory as possible
before the allied reserves come up in
full force and stay the tide.
The German crown prince, whoprev
iously has met with invariable defeat,
may on this occasion claim success.
However no breach has been made in
the allied line, which has momentarily
been driven back. maintaining COM
plete cohesion.

today are paying homage to their dead.
Wherever American flags are flying
they are at half mast and before the

At some points the ceremony took
place early in the morning. while other
exercises were held at various times

graves decorated. At one place in the
vicinity Of Luneville the graves had
been decorated in the morning dark

duty might have drawn the German

Here both the American and French
flags were placed on the mounds with
punches OF wild flowers--great blood-

daisies.

May 3o.-Another strong enemy coun-

at Cantigny seems to have met with
complete repulse, according to briet

The Americans. evidently, have been

Latest Summary
= of Great Battle

General Foch's reserves have be-
uun to como into action in the fight
against tho powerful thrust south
ward from the Aisne and the en-
emy is finding his progress inoreas-
iruIy difficult in consequence.
Again tho allies are standing
firm, and while scissors is lost on
the west, Rheims still 10 holding out
on tho easterly edge of tho battle
front.
The chief progress Of the Ger
mans today was in the center,
whore some three miles Of ground
have been covered between Lou

Marne, to Ferere en- ardenois.
The blunt edge Of tho German
wedge 10 shown to run hero from
Ferere- en- Tardenois, about one
and one-haIf miles east Of VeziIly,
fifteen and one-half miles south
west Of Rheims. AIong this line the
Germans are about eighteen miles
south Of tho Chemin Des Danes,
giving them q penetration Of ap-
proximateIy that distance at the
fifth day Of their offensive.
Tho steadiness Of allied flanks
under tho steady German pressure
is ono Of tho outstanding indiea-
tions in the Paris official report.
Tho Germans, for instance, made
attempt after attempt to dsbouoh
from Scissors, but the determined
French in the outskirts prevented
the enemy from achieving this OBJ
ject.
To the southeast tho French re-
serves are coming into play and
here the allies are resisting the
enemy in engagements Of extreme
violence along the road from Sois-
sons to Hartennes. Et-Taux, seven

Ferere- en- Tardenois, eight and

On the Flanders front tho Ger
mans made local attack on Brit
ish positions northward Of Festu-
bert, in the Givenchy sector. which
met with complete repulse. The
British improved their limo by an
advance Of some 200 yards in tho
Merris sector, to the northwest.
Still further attacks have boon
made against tho Americans estab-

Paris. May 3o.-The German flood
soon will be damned says semi Off
cial note issued today summarizing the
situation between Rheims and scissors.
The note says:
1.-THE Germans again progressed yes
terday, but while on one hand they
failed to pierce our lines, on the other
1t is comforting to observe that their
march was slackened considerably by
the arrival of our reserves
"As these come into play the balance
will gradually be restored and soon the
German flood will be damned.
"The French command retains un-
diminished confidence, based as 1t Is
on the power Of our resources and the
incompatible valor Of our soldiers"
Battle Continues All Night.
The battle along the fighting front
continued all night, with the French
maintaining the western outlet Of Sois-
sons, the war Office announced today.
Northwest Of Rheims the F'ranco-Brit
ish forces broke all the German as
saults and maintained the defensive
positions. French reserves are contin-
uine to arrive on the front and the
German advance is being resisted with
great tenacity.
Battle Increasing in Violence.
Increasing violence marks the pro-
sress OF the fighting south Of the Aisne.
The Germans are lighting against time
and are throwing every ounce Of weight
/of man power into the struggle.
On the center the enemy has again
pushed forward but his efforts to
broaden 5alis advancing front have met
with less success. The allied wings
have been obliged to give some ground.
This action was carried out slowly and
the full price was exacted from the
enemy.
scissors has gone and the British
have fallen back toward Rheims, but in
either case the enemy has won only a
couple OF uiles ;of territory.
Quiet Confidence In Outcome.
In competent circles there is quiet
confidence in the outcome and signs are
not lacking that the advancing waves
