NEW MOVE BY HUNS TURNS ALONG BANK
 A|LETTE FUR GAIN

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN FRANCE, May 31.-While continuing their strong pressure on the center of their line, the Germans today began violent diversion on the western wing along the Ailette river, where they advanced nearly five miles. The reason for this new push probably is because the Germans feared a counter attack in that region that might endanger his forces now con tained within the bulging salient where the enemy progressed during the first day.
 Allies Chose to Recede
 The allies chose to recede. leaving in the possession of the Germans !; patch of territory approximately stretching from the extreme limit of Nareses on the Oise passing by Bier encourt to Epagny.
 In the vicinity of Soissons further combats of extreme violence today ended in favor of the allies. In this region the resistance of the French divisions was the absolute acme of heroism, fighting as they were. against odds immensely superior.
 Owing to the ability of the enemy to bring to bear a large concentration of artillery and the use of poison gas shells, the allies were obliged to withdraw slightly.
 Fan-like Formation The fan-like formation of the enemy movement was pushed out on the sides and in the center yester- day. covering more territory The allies are falling back slowly before the enormously greater numbers. Av- iators report activity along all the rear of the German advanced forces, as fresh enemy divisions are hurried forward to take the place of exhausted units. The allied airmen are doing splendid work, harrassing the Ger l man endorsements and supply col umns by making attacks from low eltitudes with machine guns. The
 German aviators are very numerous n this region and aerial combats are
 ccurring constantly.

 American soldiers are in action in the Picardy and Toul sectors. At Can tigney they again have repuIsed re- peated enemy attacks to oust them from the positions which they cap tured early in the week, while in the TouI sector they have attacked the German positions, penetrated them to a depth of almost a half mile and destroyed the German defenses.
 HUNS ATTACK HOSPITALS

NOT COMPLETE SURPRISE

NOT COMPLETE SURPRISE
 "The question has been much dis cussed in the past few days whether this German attack was a surprise to the allies. 1t cannot be called a com plete surprise, because of the fact that enemy concentrations in the laon area were known, but until a day or two be- fore the battle we had no indication that any attack on big scale was in tended The Germans deserve full consideration for maintaining the se- crecy of their plans. The main masses of men were brought up to the actual front lines on the night before the at tack, which was preceded by only two hours of bombardment for the purpose of cutting wire entanglements. The Germans are not making the same use of artillery as heretofore They are using trench mortars in large numbers for wire cutting.
 IS IT MAIN ATTACK?
 "Is this the enemy's main attack?
 '"He probably did not know when he initiated it whether it would prove to be a subsidiary or leading opera ton. It must be remembered that the enemy had three great geographical objectiVes as means toward his great objective of destroying the Franco British armieS-the chdnnel ports, sep aration of the allied armies by an at tack through Amiens, and an attack on Paris.
 FLANKS HOLDING WELL
 "ln the present operations he is doing all possible to develop his initial suc- cess by attacks both on the center and on the Hanks of the salient. He has achieved considerable success in the center. but on the Hanks the French are holding we'll on the heights west Of Soissons and the British are similarly fiahtins hard on the heights around | Rheims.
 PRAISE AMERICAN TROOPS
 "No review of the past week would be complete without mention of the i fine exploit of the American troops in the capture of Cantigny. It was an extremely we'll conducted operation, and, in view of the fact that the troops were untried. it is notable that they not only captured their objective, but held it. It is always much more diff ficult to consolidate and retain a posi- ton than to capture it. and the per- formance of the Americans shows their very high standard, as we'll as their training, bravery and fighting quail ties"

 Extend Attack to the Northwest
 Aside from the movement of the German armies southwark two other significant incidents of the tremen dous battle have occurred One is that the Germans have eXteded their attack to the northwest along the Aette river from which the French have fallen back for some distance The other that the battle has extended to the east of Rems, which city during the first few days of the battle formed the extreme eastern end of the line of battle.
 Sides of Salient Are Being Well Held
 Along the sides of the salient formed by the rapid German advance to the Malne the French and British have been holding their positions gallany. South of Sossons the French have defended their line with such vigor that the Germans have not made much impression upon it. On the other side of the battle area the British still are holding the forts of Reims and positions just west of that war stricken city.
 French Hold Front at Right Angle
 Between the extreme sides of the salient the front sags toward the souh the line from Rems to the Marne running to the southwest at gentle angle, while the French holding front at right angles to the direction of the German advance.
 The occupation of Chateau Thiery marks the begin ming of the expected turning movement toward Paris which the Germans believed to have planned If the town has been taken its entirety, the Germans may be expected to down the Marne.

less SUGAR FOR

Supply for Soft Drink and
Candy Manufacturers
May be Reduced
DEALERS MUST
GET CERTIFICATES

The Delaware Food Administration
has isued a warning TO those who
manufacture candy and soft drinks
and other things classed as ''less essen
tial" foods, regarding the use OF sugar,
The warning about sugar refers TO
those manufacturers Of candy and soft
drinks who have not applied for sugar
certificates, because they have enough
sugar on hand to supply their needs
until July. These manufacturers have
been notified TO return statements to
the Food Administrator by June 10,
showing the amount Of sugar used this
year, amount on hand, requirements
for the future and the situation In gen
eral, TO prove that they are conforming
to Food Administration rules.
Many manufacturers who have stocks
Of sugar that bring their supply for the
current year TO more than 50 per cent.
OF last years consumption, are tempted
not to report, and thereby obtain the
full allotment In the next dlstribu-
tion.
Failure TO report in time, may cause
them not only TO suffer the usual PEN
ally for this derellctlon but also TO be
proceeded against as hoarders. These
who fail TO report Will obtain no fur
ther 1918 allotments.
The 80 per cent, ration was recently
set for makers OF non-essential food
products because OF shortage OF ship
tonnage to bring sugar TO this country
II is possible that there will be further
reduction; and II IS unlikely that gov
ernment control OF sugar distribution
will cease during the war.
