Present German Operations Con-
stitute Serious Blow at Lines
of Allies.
FRENCH RURL FOE BACK
Enemy Forced to Forfeit Gain WITHIN
Four Miles of Campiegne-French
Counter Attack Retakes Villages;
On Left.

London. June 13.--The Germans in
their plunge southwark on the line
from Noyon to Montdidier continue
to gain here and there IL the center
of the line, where their greatest ef-
fort has been exerted and where the
French resistance might have been ex-
pected to be most stubborn.
Frightful losses have been inflicted
upon the invaders. Their greatest adj
vance is at Vignemont, six miles from
the line as it stood previously.
French Stand on Aronda.
The French have launched counter
attacks on the left of their line, which
may be an Indication that they have
reached the front where they Will
make their final stand. This line seems
to be along the Aronda river, small
stream flowing west and northwest
from the Disc and roughly paralleling
the line of the advance.
The Germans according to the Off
cial statement issued by the French
war office, reached the vicinity of this
stream. This marked the limit of their
advance, however, and the line pass
ing through Belloy south of st. Maur,
south of Marqueglise and Vandtli-
court. The village of Merry, west of
Belloy, was retaken by the French
Monday night.
Teutons Threaten Ribecourt.
This part of the battlefront, how
ever, apparently is not the most men,
acing to the French. 1t is further east
that the Germans seem to be making
their most telling gains. Along the
right bank of the Disc, they have
reached Antoval, a village which lies
on the crest Of the hills above the
important town of Ribecourt, lying
on low fiat lands west and south of
Ribecourt has been Withdrawn in con-
sequence.
This movement has not resulted as
yet, according to reports, in the with
drawal of the French lines east Of the
Disc from the Ourscamp and Garlic
pont forests, strong positions from
which the French defended their posi-
tions in the earlier attempts of the
Germans to cross the Disc south of
Sempigny.
Critical Stage Reached.
The battle in the new area may now
be considered as having definitely en-
tered its critical stage, as in the Som
me, Flanders and Aisne combats the
third and fourth days of the offensive
were most menacing to the Allies. 1t
now seems certain that the present
German operation constitutes very
serious blow at the Allied lines from
the Disc to the Marine as we'll as
threatening the level country behind
the present battle lines. Before this
can be reached, however, the Germans
may encounter even greater resis-
lance than they have overcome since
their offensive began.

100000 gold from Ottawa confirms

which may assume large volume, will
represent for the most part payment
of obligations incurred in this country
by the British government for vari-
GUS supplies.
British treasury officials find them
selves in a position to release gold
from Canada now that the United
