Push Enemy Back in Center OF

TAKE 400 PRISONERS
Number Of Cannon and Machine Guno
Fall Into Hands Of the French
Germans Advance at Only One
Point and Cross the Matz River.

London, June 13.-ln the fighting
in the region between Montdidier and
Noyon further gains have been made
by the French troops, where in ad
dition to the capture of territory near
Belloy and st. Maur, the center CT
tle line, 400 additional Germans have
been made prisoner and some guns
and machine guns have been cap
tured.
Numerous German counter attacks
have been repulsed, but the enemy
succeeded at one point in crossing the
Matz river
On the eastern side of the Oise
river the French have carried out
strategic retirement along the line
of lloy-Tzacy-Le-Val and Nampeel'
unobserved by the enemy.
In violent fighting between the
Aisne river and the forest of V1llers
Cotterets the enemy made slight
gains against the French.
French Evacuate Wood.
French forces operating on the east
bank of the Disc river south of Noy'
on have evacuated the Carlepont wood
and the Germans are closely pressing
them southwark, according to the Ger
man official communication. The
communication also asserts that the
territory on the opposite side OF the
river, near where the Matz enters the
stream, has been cleared of Allied
troops.
Nowhere else along the battle front
running from Montdidier to the region
around Noyon is any claim made to
further advances by the Germans. On
the contrary the latest communication
shows that the enemy everywhere has
been busily engaged In attempts to
hold back the French and other Allied
troops, among them some Americans
lahore Allied Advance.
No mention Is made in the com
munication of the Allies having ad'
vanced their front east OF Merry and
the Genlis wood or the repulse Of
violent German attack along the
Aronde river and the Loges farm and
Antheuil. Neither is there any men
ton Of the fact that the enemy. not
withstanding his numerous attempts
has been unable to debrouch south OF
the Matz river. .....
The communication asserts that all
the counter attacks of the Allied for
ces have been repalsel and that they
suffered heavy casualties. 1t dcc'al ed
that the number OF prisoners taken
by General yon Hurtier's army ha7
now risen to more than 10000. -~
It had been admitted that the posi-
tion of the defending line on the west
bank of the Disc river was a delicate
one owing to the capture by the Ger
mans of the outflanking hills to the
west and successful drive through
the Carlepont Wood on the opposite
side of the stream seemingly YOU'D

is not unfair to speculate that we will
shortly pass the million mark"
General Peyton C. March, chief OF
staff. who made Commencement day
the occasion of his first official visit
to the academy, said that neither the
menace of raiding German submarines
off the Atlantic coast nor the terri
torial gains of the enemy on the West
ern front will affect Americas policy
of sending men to France as fast az
ships can carry them.
Secretary Baker, who awarded the
diplomas to the graduates, told them
they were destined to have a part in
leading the armies of the nation to a
victorious peace" '-
AFTER that" he said, "as officers OF
the regular army you will prepare not
for war, but to be ready for another
war if anybody wants to make It,"

Eastern Districts Are Unable to
Handle the Large Volume
of Trade.
OUTLINES new POLICY
War Industries Board and Railroad
Administration Takes Action Owing
to Inability Of Roads to Haul Coal
and Manufactured Products.

Washington, June 13.-The govern.
ment has prescribed a district In
which it will permit no increase i'll
the volume of war orders not In the
cumber of plants handling them. The
action is taken to- check further IN
dustrial congestion in the already
cverbu-dened East.
This district includes New England,
eastern and southern New York, east
ern Pennsylvania to Williamsport, and
Altoona, New Jersey, Delaware and
eastern Maryland, excluding Balti-
more.
The new policy announced by the
War Industries board and Fuel and
Railroad administrations will tend to
create expansion Of industries in the
Middle West and South, although the
process is expected to be so gradual
rs not to work any hardship on the
Eastern manufacturing area nor cause
unusual Industrial booms elsewhere.
Railroad Shortage Is Cause.
The reason for the action which al.
ready has been put into effect to some
degree, is primarily the inability of
the railroads to supply sufficient coal
or to haul promptly all the manufac'
tured products turned ont by constant
ly growing industries. The shortage
of labor in the East and the congested
terminals Of Atlantic ports were con-
tributory.
The announcement of the policy,
which has been under consideration
since the serious freight traffic tieup
and coal shortage last winter, fol-
lows:
"A policy has been adopted and
made effective for preventing further
increase in the volume of war orders
and the number of establishments
handling them in the area known as
the co1gested manufacturing and
transportation district. This compris.
es the New England states; eastern
and southern New York. Pennsylvania
as far west as Williamsport and Al
toona; all of New Jersey and Della
ware; eastern Maryland, not including
Baltimore.
Exceptions to BE Few.
Exceptions to this policy will be
made only II unavoidable through in.
ability otherwise to provide for war
needs.
"The congested district comprises
those EASTERN states in which 50
large proportion of war industries
is located as to make it difficult to
supply all with necessary raw mater.
ials and fuels. This difficulty obtains
because coal for these industries Is
mined in the territory west of the Al
legheny mountains. 1t might be car
ried into this congested district by
a limited number of railway lines and
by ships from Hampton Roads and
Baltimore.
"The amount of coal therefore,
which can be transported into this
tongested area during any one season
IL limited and is an entirely separate
problem from the production of coal.
However, much coal is mined in West
ern Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Ohio. Only so much is available for
this congested district as the rail.
roads and ships can transport into it."

POUR IN DEADLY FIRE
Artillery Opens Up on Advancing
Huns and Terrific Shell Fire Caus-
es Awful Slaughter. the Attack
Ending in Disastrous Failure.

London, June 13.-The advance of
the Americans and French northwest
OF Chateau Thierry is proving a seri-
Gus menace to the Germans, as was
again exemplified in a most disastrous
fashion for the foe.
Two divisions of fresh troops were
thrown by the German command
against the American center at the
village of Bouresches, near Belleau
wood. A terrific fire was turned loose
by the American artillery, and the
German advance was broken up with
heavy slaughter.
Reuters correspondent, writing from
the French headquarters, declares the
Germans are taking seriously" the
Amtrican thrust at the apex of their
line in the Clignon valley, and thus
far have used five divisions in at.
tempting to counter it, but entirely
without success.
Referring to the enemy's fruitless
effort to retake Boureschts, the CORE
spondent says:
"Trusting to the deep woods north
east of the village, and the twisted
spur of hill to conceal them, the
leading division advanced in mass for
nation.
Artillery Hits Mased Banks.
"They were observed. however,
from the Bois de Balleau and were
brought under a destructive hail OF
shrapnel before they could deploy.
The fire was so severe that the at
tack was disorganized, and no pro-
gress could be made for some time.
when the Germans did succeed in
penetrating the defense. they were
met with such enthusiasm in cold
steel that their only choice was death
or surrender.
"In the capture of the wood to the
northwest of Bouresches, the Ameri.
cans had to deal with machine gun
nests, a game at which they are be-
coming expert. Gun after gun was
captured and turned upon its late
possessors and the advance never was
materially delayed" -

Moreover. nothing that Claude has done

a decent democrat and good citizen.
Of course ne, in common with every
one else, knew Pierce was up a tree
but it probably never entered his mind
that Pierce would pounce on him and
insist on riding on his shoulders.
The Old Man of the Sea of politics
has ridden many politicians. Perhaps
what makes him savage beyond COM
mon is the realization that in the last
campaign he was ridden when all the
time he imagined he was riding; that
he carried a pack instead of being car

been accomplished ne was turned out
among the thistles to bray for grain.
But it is tough on Claude Porter.
