CRITIC CLAIMS
BIG ADVANTAGE
ONE GERMAN WRITER SAYS YET
HAVE TO RECKON WITH FocH

AMSTERDAM June 1.-Norddeuts-
che Allegemeine Zeitung says 1t is in
creasingly apparent that the crown
princes advance is not new attack,
but systematic continuation of the
previous offensive.
Co, tinuing it says: Thanks to the
communications in the region south of
Chauny which were secured in April
a ne : region of attack is already be-
ginning organically to grow and to-
gether with the big wedge driven to-
wards Amiens there is tremendous
tactical and operative possibilities in
strategic positions won"
The article says in conclusion:
meanwhile now as before FOch's ar
my stands in the region north of
Amiens. There the Entente awaits in
certainty the arrival of our offensive"
: writer in Hamburger Nashrich-
ten points out that Foch's reserves
must be reckoned with and until the
rear communications are covered and
supplies assured the offensive cannot
be continued r'elentlessly at the same
pace as heretofore.

Germans Aim at Paris.

PARIS, June Military critics,
says the Havas agency review today,
still view the situation as serious. but
consider the signs as increasingly re-
assuring. The most important develop
hment is regarded as the enemy's at
tempt to advance westward and push
toward Paris. thus it is considered,
revealing the intentions Enthusiastically
, In the first shock this new rush, it
is pointed out, the Allies were obliged
to give ground in some places, but
held their own on the Aisne, and their
vigorous counter attacks are consider
ed as a prelude to the stOppage of the
'enemy advance.
At present the most important part
Iof the battle field is Noyon or the
region south on one end and the dis
'trict of Chateau Thierry on the Marine
on the other 1t is here the German
advance toward Paris demands undi-
vided attention. Premier Clemenceau
voiced absolute confidence in the out
come of the operations.
