morale of the Germans was low, which
made the going easier for the fiery SOL
dlcrs of the Marine Corps. The ad-
vance was carried out by the same men
who attacked in the morning and who
had had no rest. They asked nothing,
however, but plenty of ammunition,
and hardly ate the food that was
brought up to them, so absorbed were
they in the task of chasing the enemy
as far as possible.
No one who saw the marines in &C.
tion failed to agree with the exclama-
tion Of their commander, who said:
II wish ! had an army corps of them
here"
Many wounded Americans refused to
leave the fight.
Sergeant j. L. Dulswerth, of Kansas
City, was captured by tho Germans
Monday night while dazed from a blow
on the head from a rifle butt. A Ger
man was dragging him away when he
regained consciousness. The sergeant
hit the German on the jaw and es-
capped.
81 was not going to be the first
American captured on this sector"
Sergeant Dulswerth said. "The Dutch
biffed him. Now I got to get back and
get me a Dutchman to make up for the
lump on my head"
The sergeant took part in the fight
ing to-day.
Private Charles Ginsberg, a former
New York newsboy but now of WASH
ington, Ga, captured a German in a
shellhole. Ginsberg searched the Ger
man for hidden weapons, and when he
came upon photographs of the pris-
oner's two children the German
wanted to fight. The prisoner was al
lowed to keep the photographs.
An American corporal found himself
behind the German lines two days ago.
BY keeping himself hidden and crawl
ing foot at a time he reached the
American line during the height of to-
days battle and in time to take part
in the victory.

Allies Placed at
Disadvantage by
Ener7y's Advance

LONDON, June 7.--Reuter's CORE
spondent at British headquarters in
France sends the following analysis of
the situation on the Western and
Italian battle-f fronts
Between May 81 and June the
Germans made considerable progress
between Noyon and Chateau Thierry.
namely, four to five miles between
Soissons and Chateau Thierry and one
or two miles between Noyon and Sois-
sons. Their attacks on the rest Of the
salient have been local
On June ! the enemy attacked with
tanks southeast of Rheims in order to
capture high ground, but the attack
failed and the French regained the lost
ground and captured four tanks. The
Germans have hesitated to make
direct attack on Rheims, as it long
had been prepared with various fortifi-
cations. The French have barricaded
the streets and the underground de-
fences would make the city very diff
cult to capture.
Immediate Danger Over
Except for the moral effect, the
Germans would gain very little by the
capture of Rheims, unless they could
drive the French back as far as the
important railway junction on the high
ground. Since June the Germans
have made only local efforts to capture
the crossings Of the Disc, the Aisne
and the OurcQ.
"The French resistance has been
much strengthened, and they have
made important counter attacks, capt
urlng several hundred prisoners. The
enemys progress, therefore, has been
checked and the immediate danger is
over.
The German plans now are suf-
tciently clear After crossing the
Aisne River they intended to advance
as far southwark as possible, with q
defensive left flank on the Marne River
IN order to protect their thrust south
west toward Paris along the valleys of
the Disc and Ourcq.
Although the immediate danger
here is over, the situation is still seri-
Gus.
Germans Used Forty-one Divisions
The Germans have used forty-one
divisions since May 27 A few of these
came from the groups east of the
Grown Princes army which holds the
line from the Disc to Argonne. Until
we know where his large reserves of
fresh troops are to be used the situa-
tlon will remain anxious.
There are some signs that the Ger
mans intend to continue the frontal
attack between the Marne and Mont
dIdier, but these signs at present are
indefinite, and the Germans may still
hope to thrust westward toward Amiens
or other parts of the line.
by retreating our line has been
! heightened. which is DISADVANTAGES
1or us. as we are numerically inferior.

taken also was announced.

taken also was announced.
The communicate follows
"West and northwest of Chateau
Thierry we made minor readjust-
ments of our lines involving several
advances, in the course of which we
inflicted severe losses and took pris-
oners, among them being one officer
and twenty-five unwounded men.
Our advance was made in conjunc-
ton with French troops on our left.
"Artllery on both sides was
active at points held by our troops
in Picardy, on the Marine front, in
the Woevre and in Lorraine.
"In Picardy we took prisoners in
the course of a raid"
A continuation of General Per-
shing's communique of yesterday
also made public to-day reads:
"Section BIN Picardy, during
the night Of June to June 3, a hos
tile patrol of one officer and about
thirty men attempted to raid one of
our listening posts. The men in our
post opened fire, killed the German
officer and retired to our lines with
out suffering any casualties"

Battle Continues
All Along Line of
American Advance
(By The Associated Press)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
IN FRANCE, June 7 (Evening).--
The sharpest fighting continues
around the sector of Veuilly-la-
Poterie, Bussiares and Bouresches,
where the Americans and French
have been attacking shoulder to
shoulder for some days, making al
most uninterrupted progress, not
withstanding strong enemy resist
ance.
The French this morning COM
pleted the capture Of Vinly, Veuilly-
la-Poterie and the heights southeast
of Haute Vesnes.
Unarmed Officer Captures Gun
At the same time the Americans
were fighting in wood that cor-
tanned numerous enemy machine gun
emplacements. When this dispatch
was filed the line was uncertain. but
it was evident that progress was be-
ing accomplished by the Allied
troops.
An unarmed American lieutenant
went out alone, attacked German
machine gun position, killed the gun
ners and brought back the piece.
The ambulance workers courage
ously remained in the open under fire
caring for the wounded, whom they
afterward brought safely into the
American lines.
Numerous prisoners were taken
by the Allies, while the Germans
suffered the heaviest of losses.

The correspondent to-day talked
With a nineteen-year-old German
prisoner who was sitting under a
tree eating American bread and
drinking French wine. He was the
object of the curiosity of crowd.
Sweethearts Photo Saves Life
The soldier said he had been
fighting for a year and half, for
the most part in Russia. He car
ried picture of his sweetheart on
heavy cardboard, which, he said, had
saved his life from an American
bullet.
The youth added that in Germany
there was talk of millions of Amer
lean soldiers, but that nobody be-
lieved it. He did not know that it
was the Americans who opposed the
Germans. He thought the troops
were British, as they wore English
helmets. He added that the Ger
man soldiers no longer hoped to
reach Paris. All Of them were sick
of the war, and he was glad he had
been made prisoner.
The Importance Of the operations
of the Americans on the Marne sec
tor may be realized when it is re-
called that only the day before the
Americans entered the line the Ger
mans advanced about ten kilometres.
