GERMANS RISK
ALL IN EFFORT
TO REACH PARIS
Are Throwing Their Electives Into the
Battle to Win Quick Decision,
Thinking That Capture of
City Would End War.

Paris, June 4-The German advance
on the Aisne sector seems to be develop
ing into a race for Paris and recalls the
race for the sea after the battle of the
Marne. In 1914 it was a question pri-
marily of speed, each side trying to c-L-
pace the other and turn his opponen-A
wing The present contest is a race of
effectives with each contestant trying
to bring up as many men as possible in
the shortest possible time in order to be
numerical master of the situation.
In the offensive began on March 81. the
Germans intended to capture Amiens and
the channel ports. The effort, however,
was not of nature to bring about i'm
mediate results.
The Germans realized this and in their
haste to finish matters, resumed the
march toward Paris for a third time.
thinking that success would mean an end
of the war.
The enemy apparently is now risking
all in a formidable attempt to reach
Paris.

Desperate Fighting in That Sector May
Be Expected in Effort to Stem the
Tide of German Advance To-

Washington, d. C., June 4.-Witf
American troops aiding the French al
two points on the new battlefront there
are indications that the war department
had some knowledge of the purpose OF
General Foch, supreme commander, to
put American troops into the fight on
the new lines. II is known that an
nouncement of some important action of
the American forces in this area was
foreshadowed in yesterdays official ad-
vices.
The action at Neuilly, in which the
Americans assisted in thrusting back the
German advance, appears to be on the
flank of renewed German effort TO press
westward. To the north the Germans
have progressed directly west on the
road from Soissons to Compeigne also.
1t is thought possible that an effort is
now being made to encircle Villers-Cot
terets forest, which has so far proved
stumbling block in the road of the great
turning movement hinging on Scissors,
which is in progress.
In that case, the Americans are at a
point where desperate fighting is to be
expected and their dash and eagerness
may well be of substantial aid to the
French in stemming this new thrust to
cut off Paris from the battle zones of
Picardy and Flanders.
