PARIS. June l9 (By Associated
Press 1.-The Germans last night, af-
ter a violent preparatory lombard
ment, launched fresh attack on the
Rheims front between Virgny and La
pompelle, according TO today's Off
cial war office announcement. The
Frcnc hare reported TO be resisting
the German blow with entire success.
On the western front of attack the
enemy have been unable even TO reach
the front line in the center before the
city proper. The Huns have been
completely repulsed, suffering heavy
losses.
East of Rheims the French have
been equally successful. The new
front Of German attack is in the form
OF a semi-cirCle drawn by the enemy
about the city in the recent offensive
on the Aisne front. The Rheims re-
gion comprises the left flank of the
German attack. Ground has been
given by the French on both sides OF
the city but the town itself and its
nearby protecting forts have been
held against the German onslaught
and have since remained in the pos
session OF the French. Rheims, how.
ever, hemmed in on three sides, is
the object Of an attack that has been
considered only as a matter of time
for Its delivery. The Germans now
seem to be making a concerted effort
to oust the defenders.

to demand that the German people give
a guaranty that the Pan-German spirit
the spirit of superiority, of might, OF
heathendom, isn't the German spirit
The best method of showing the world
