HUN DRIVE ON

a. m.) the situation is well IN
hand" he said.
The French official commu-
nique, filed at noon, Paris time,
announced that the Germans had
launched their drive on a front oil
80 kiIometers from Chateau
Thierry eastward to Main-De'
Massiges, following a violent ar
tiIIery preparation but that the
French were sustaining their Po-
sitions energetically.
That the drive on this front was
not unexpected, is revealed by
the fact that Ed. L. Keen, Euro-
pean manager of the United
Press. cabled on June 20 that he
had learned from authoritative
sources: :,
The enemy Will soon launch its
final and supreme effort. 1t is GER
tain there will be partial otten-
siye on the northern part OF the
British front (Flanders). The To-
cation of the main blow IS not
certain, but it probably will be be-
tween Rheims and the Ardennes
region (near Verdun) with stimuli
taneous subsidiary attacks along
the whole front.
The bombardment OF Meaux,
25 miles west and south of Cha
and less than that
distance from Paris lends weight
to the theory that the new Ger
man drive is intended, at least IN
part, as a resumption of the ad-
vance on Paris.
In the path of the drive are the
important cities of Epenay, 10
miles south of Rheims and Chal-
ons-Sur-Marne, "a miles southeast
of Rheims.
