WAR SUMMARY
By the Associated Press)

Resuming the offensive on a D.
mile front, from south OF Montdidier
to the Oise south of Noyon, the
Germans have made gains in the
center, but are being held in check
by the French on the wings. Heavy
fighting continues all along the
front.
Allied commanders had anticipat
ed the enemy would attack on this
sector with the hope, probably, OF
pushing it back and connecting up
the salients which ended near Mont
didier and Noyon. French opinion
is that the first day was satsfac-
tory. The French reserves on the
sector are still intact.
In the center the German at
tacking waves reached Ressons-sur-
Matz and Marevuil, about three
miles apart, marking an advance Of
two and one-half miles. Paris re-
ports this advance as "murderous"
for the Germans. On the left wing
the most the enemy could gain was
about onethird of mile, while on
the right he was checked after cross
ing the first, or covering line" OF
the French defense.
Berlin's full report OF the first
days fighting will be delayed "a
hours, - is customary. Its latest
statement mentions the capture OF
the heights OF Curry, Immediately
behind the first French line and
north OF Maruil.
Drive on Paris.
The Germans, in attempting to
push back the allied line between
Montdidier and Noyon, face not only
strong natural obstacles in the form
of largest forests on high elevations,
but also a determined French resist
ance. Evidently the Germans are
striving for Compiegne. on the
road TO Paris, if the right wing gives
way, or for Amiens and the separa-
ton of the French and British main
armies if the left flank can be
thrust backward far enough.
Whether the Germans are attack.
ing in as great or greater strength
as against the Chemin- -des- DANES
on May y is not yet clear. If the
tactical advantage gained by the ad-
vance on the Noyon-Rheims front
is to be realized to the full the sa-
lient there must be widened toward
the west. The Germans failed be-
fore the forest of Villers- Cotterets
The Montdidier- -Noyon sector Of
fered favorable opportunity and
the German command evidently lost
no time in massing troops for the
attack.
Wide Gas Attack.
The heavy preliminary lombard
ment of high explosives and gas
shells covered not only the y miles
under attack, but also the American
sector west of Montdidier. and the
British front north and south of the
Somme directly east of Amiens. The
enemy artillery fire affected the al
lied line to depth of six miles.
On the Noyon- Rheims salient the
only fighting has been some local
German attacks northwest of Cha
-eau-Thierry. which were checked
by the American and French troops,
and an unfruitful German effort
west of Rheims. The Americans in
licted heavy losses on the enemy in |
his effort on the Chateau Thierry |
sector.
Increased artillery fire on the
front in northern Italy is
-eported. Infantry activity, how
ever, has been confined to small
ocal attacks.

"On the right the French forces
maintained their positions to the
southeast OF Vile. Here there was
bitter fighting. The French took
more than 200 prisoners in the
course of these various engage
ments.
On the center the enemy en-
deavored by bringing in fresh
forces to continue his progress. He
was successful in reaching the
southern edge of Cuvilly wood and
Ressons-sur-Matz on the plateau OF
Bellinglise. Farther to the east the
fighting was continued in Thies-
court wood.
Enemy Losses Heavy.
According to the unanimous re-
ports OF prisoners. the battle up to

HELP FOR THE HORSES
Ry NOIlie Townsend

Horses are a very necessary thing
nthis war, and unless they are taken
care of when injured there will be a
time when we will be in need of them.
The Blue Cross organization has
taken over the care Of wounded and
sick horses. The suffering of horses
in warfare has touched the conscience
of men to an increasing extent dur
ing the past two decades.
In August, 1914, the Blue Cross
Committee met and decided to issue
an appeal on behalf of the horses in
the war which had just commenced.
A good supply Of excellent drink
ing water has been arranged for IN
each case and forage, including oats
is supplied in hangers of stone or
hardwood so placed that each horse
can feed in it's natural position.
Every variety of sick and injured
horse has been dealt with in the hos
pitfalls. Horses suffering from over
strain from improper insufficient feed
ing, wounds from shell-ire have been
carefully tended and cared for.
1t is as inspiring a sight to watch
these poor horses gallop!ng playful
ly around a paddock in the sunshine
as it was painful to see them week
or ten days previously limping thru
the entrance gate, their CLASSY coats
caked with mud and blood and dlsf1g-
ured and torn with ugly wounds.
One of the most popular items has
been the Blue Cross Veterinary
chests. These contain selected sup
ply of instruments, bandages, and
drugs such as are most needed fire.

wounded horses.
An ambulance for wounded horses
was put in hand at the cost of nearly

two injured horses and sleeping berths
for two men and score of forage.
