 The armies of Grown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria again are hitting the allied line in a new offensive with Paris ap- parently their objective.
 Between Montdidicr and Noyon, over a front of about 20 miles, preceded as usual by Ia heavy bombardment with shells of all calibres and with noxious gases, the enemy's initial maneuver evidently has in view the bending back of the allied front toward the town of St. Just on the north ern wing and toward the rail- road junction of Compeigne on the southern flank, getting astride the Disc river and driv- ing southwest toward inc French capital.
 The French troops are resisting the impact with their usual valor, but the Germans on their right and in the center have been able to penetrate the line for distances ranging from two-thirds of mile south of Montdi-. dier to relatively two and half miles at Reasons -Sur-Matz, in the center. Thence to Noyon, however, the allied line is holding strongly.
 If success should rest with the enemy on the new battle front, 1t possibly might badly affect the stability of the line of the defenders from the Disc to the Marne and compel a falling back westward from the Oise to the region of the Marne northwest of Chateau Thierry in order to straighten out the

 "To the left the Germans did not succeed in crossing our covering zone and were strong ly held by our troops on the line of Rubescourt, LeFretoy and Mortemer, which they reached.
 "On the center the progress of the enemy was more appreciable. After successive attacks, which were mur- derous for their troops, the Germans succeeded in taking foot in the villages of Ressons-Sur- Matz and Mareuil where our units of the first lines con tinued to offer defense. foot by foot
