ENEMY'S PLAN EXPOSED
French Officials Insist That Foes
Rush Will Be Blocked.

Paris, June 1.-The military crit
ice, says Havas agency review to-
day, still view the situation as Sc
rious, but consider the signs in
crcasingly reassuring. The most
important development is regarded
as the enemy's attempt to advance
westward and push toward Paris,
thus, it is considered, revealing his
strategic intentions unmistakably.
In the first shock of this new
rush, it is pointed out, the allies
were obliged to give ground in
some places, but they held their
own on the Aisne and the Aurcq,
and their vigorous counter attacks
are considered a prelude to the
stoppage of the enemy advance.
With some, the most important
part of the battle field is that around
Noyon, or the region to the south
OF 1t. on the one end, and the dis
trict north of Chateau Thierry, on
the Marne, on the other. 1t is here
that the German rush toward Paris

AMERICAN SOLDIER HAS
EXPERIENCE OF SORROW
DISCOVERS HE IS PALLBEAR-
Err TO BODY OF OWN
BROTHER.
(BY The Associated Press \


With the American Army in
France, June lone of the most
pathetic incidents of the war SO far
as America is concerned occurred
in little cemetery to the rear of
the Picardy front recently when an
American soldier, acting as a pail
bearer at the funeral of several
Americans. discovered his own
brother, Joseph Ash, among the
dead.
The brothers, members of differ
ent companies, had met only the
day before at the front. Joseph re-
mained there and was mortally
wounded, dying soon afterward. His
brother was ordered to the rear lines
with a party of wood choppers.
The choppers were working near
the cemetery at the time of the fun
eral and the chaplain asked them to
be pallbearers. In the midst Of the
service, the chaplain read the name
OF Joseph Ash. The brother, who
stood with barred head in the small
group of soldier mourners, reeled
forward. his eyes filled with tears,
and exclaimed: my brother, oh
my brother"
The chaplain, not understanding.
stepped up and placed his arm
around the young mans shoulder,
saying: I'VE are all brothers, my
boy."
The soldier looked at the coffin
and shook his head. The Ger
mans will pay for your blood" he |
,aid, and then it was that the chap /
ain and the others around him un-
ierstood and led him away. !
