The French held their deep gain in
the German right flank in Picardy i'll
the face of a powerful thrust to re-
treve the foes losses. The enemy
suffered heavy losses without being
able to reach the allied lines west OF
the Disc.
The Germans have captured more
than $4,000 prisoners and $50 guns in
their advance along the Oise, Berlin
announced. The loss Of some German
guns during French counter attacks
was admitted in the German official
statement.
Allies hold the foe firmly on the
Disc, but Berlin reports that the
French have evacuated Carlepont
Wood, east of the Disc, and been driv-
Ell as far south as Tracy-le-Val, the
Germans occupying the angle of the
salient.

blow on the west half Of the German

and some guns.
Despite the murdnrous fire Of the al

Wing on 7a Mile Front.

Paris. - General Foch struck two
great counter blows.
= The first drove the Germans back
two miles In the center Of the new
salient, where they had reached the
Aronde river. The second, struck in
full force against the west wing Of the
salient pushed the enemy back over a
seven and half mile front.
In their second blow the poilus gain
ed more than O mile Of territory be-
tween Montdidier and st. Maur, re-
took the village of Belloy and the
heights east of Courcelles and captur-
ed more than thousand prisoners.
Along front of nearly 20 miles the
Germans are driving more than a
quarter of q million men forward
through sea Of blood. The defenders
say that 1t Is as though the whole Of
the German army Is engaged against
them. No sooner Is one battalion an
initiated than another takes its place
and another and another.
Early in the morning a handful Of
dismounted cavalry, greatly employed
for liaison work, fought their way back
to the French lines from the surround
ed hill Of Plemont. They reported
that the survivors of the French bat
talon occupying the position were still
holding out when they left and that no
less than Il attacks had already been
repulsed.
The grassy slopes of the hill. bore a
hideous carpet of thousands of German
dead, over which new forces still adj
vanced with the same madness of sac
riflce as the Carthaginians Of old, fling
ing their children, their possessions
and themselves into Moloch's furnace.
The bloody religion of militarism that
Germany has followed for 40 years has
led it's votaries to eliminating orgies
Of destruction.
But the defenders are not appalled,
Dy Ine Jury Oh lne struggle NOT ny

every foot Of ground has been paid for
by German blood. Again and again
swift counter attack, delivered at the
right moment, has wrested from the
assailant the fruits of the success he
won so dearly and forced him to pay
a toll of lives twice over. In the vii
lagos thus retaken, the poilus say, gray
clad corpses lay heaped up as though
they had been collected for gigantic
funeral pyre, and more than once the
advancing enemy was screened from
the defenders fire by rampant of his
own dead.

say with regard to submarines:
1.-THE allied navies continue to sink
more German submarines than the

that since January we have sunk more
submarines than they have built. We
attack their submarines seventy times
q week on the average.

destroyed only on those we are sure of
having seen wrecks or captured the

rinas hit are in urgent need of repairs,
and 1t is evident that the results Of
many of our attacks are unknown"

CIRCULAR FOR GERMAN AGENTS
 IN U. s. F0UND
Associated PrnSSI

PARIS, Feb. 6-Continuing in its startling disclosures of Germany's worldwide system of waging war. the Petit Parisien tonight published a circular letter of instructions from the Wilhelmstrassa to German mili- tary agents in the United States which ordered a campaign of de struction and terrorism waged while the German government was still on terms of friendship with the Ameri- can government.
 Directions were given for the de- struction of great amounts of prop erty. Special emphasis was placed upon the destruction of explosive factories and other industries which were capable of being utilized for the production of war supplies which could be purchased by the allies.
 They were informed that all pre- liminary negotiations had been ar ranged for the purpose of securing helpers from American workingmen's unions which have anarchistic ten dencies and that these unions had promised to aid when called on. These instructions are supplement- al to the ones published recently in the Petit Parisien which were is- sued by the German government un. lox4 zS carry orders for much more ex- tended campaign of sabotage and terrorism than the first orders is- sued. There is no question as to the origin and authenticity of the letters which were secured by rep resentative of the Paris newspaper from Russian paper which has had them in it's possession for some time.

The kommanda tore flew at me again.
 Pick them up and hand them to me right" he said. How dare you treat German officer in this way: How dare you throw that money or the table? I'll teach you how you should behave"

When the kommandatore had stamped my papers as allowing noe to leave from Friday to Monday. begged and begged him to make i, Wednesday-the same day I was in his office, or Thursday. But he | would not. although it would have been as easy for him to do that as not. But they try to humiliate ar American in every way possible, just to show their authority.

LONDON, Feb. 6.-"The Germah d. mics on the wcsteln front are stronger today than at any foiDei ,e.iod of the war;" said Major Gen eral Maurice, chief director of mili tary operations at the war office. in an interview with representative of the Associated Press. However" he continued. they are not yet num- erically equal to the French and British forces."
 General Maurice stated that troop movements and massing of supplies on the western front by the Germans indicated that they might possibly attempt to launch a serious offensive in this district in a short time. He declared that there was no serious danger of them being able to gain any territory, but that the early apring operations would probably bring forth some terrific fighting.
