American troops last night at tacked the Germans -to the east of Torcy in the district northwest of Chateau Thierry. The French contin ued their advance on the American left. At last reports, the operation was pro gressing: satisfactorily. The American artillery was active all night in the Belleau Wood sector. The fire increased in intensity at 4 o'clock this morning, when the Americans at tacked in the southern part of the wood, taking prisoners and a number of machine guns. The battle was still raging here this afternoon. Boohe l.lnea Reinforced. German prisoners report that new German troops are moving up in the rear of the American sector on this front. The enemy artillery fire is increas ing, indicating that the Germans are bringing up additional big guns. American troops on the front norths weot of Chateau Thierry mowed down the enemy with machine gun and rifle fire at midnight, when the Germans made an attack on their position. They fought like demons and at one point killed 100 Germans. Before they made their attack the Germans sent over a smoke cloud, sup posedly of black gas. During the fight the American wore gas masks. Hubs Stopped by Yankees. -The Germans launched their thrust against the Americans in the vicinity of Bouresches. .They were completely stopped, however, about 400 yards from the American trenches. .This result was achieved despite the intense enemy bombardment, which in cluded the use of gas in a new form.

'; Salmon Catches Are Large. ' ABERDEEN, "Wash., June 8. (Spe cial.) Big catches of Quinault salmon are being made at present, and, al though the run has been late in start ing a big catch Is expected for the year, More than 20,000 fish have been caught during the past few weeks and daily catches now exceed 1000 salmon. 'Experiments are being carried on In Europe with an electrical process for producing gold leaf, heretofore made only by hand. . AsvtJn nannnnnsSy' VOW line from Noyon to Montdidier was almost equal in importance to that in front of Amiens. The French forces were rushed to this front and fought savagely to stop the German advance and retake ground which was 01 strat egic and tactical Importance. Troop Movement Heavy. At the same time the Woevre sector. lust to the southeast of veraun. is claiming attention. Large movements of enemy troops in the direction 01 01. Mihiel have been reported by aerial observers, and there are indications that the positions of the Americans along this part of the front may be in the storm center oi a terrific attack soon. The advantages to be gained by the Germans, if they succeed In breaking this line, are manifold. JElgnteen miles west of St. Mihiel is the town of Bar Le Due, and still further westward is Vitry, which would be but a stepping stone to a dash lor cnaions Bur niarne. If the line at St. Mihiel could be broken or driven back very far, tne whole Verdun sector would be in peril and might have to be abandoned. Allied Line Restored. In the Flanders sector, which has been quiet since the beginning of the attack along the Alsne, the Germans on Wednesday sought to improve their positions by capturing the hospital at Locre. This point would give them a starting point fo." an attack on the village of Locre, which is considered one of the keys to the allied positions along the hills behind the line south west of Tpres. The French forces I nthi ssector on Friday, however, at tacked the enemy and drove him back to his former positions and the ajield line has been restored. ' There have been no engagements of a notable character on the Italian front, but In Macedonia the allies, particu larly the Greeks, have been continuing their aggressive operations. WITH THE BRITISH ARMT IN FRANCE, June 8. (By the Associated Press.) Locre Hospice, which the Ger mans captured on Wednesday night, was retaken by the French yesterday. They battled their way to this much contested position and completely re established their original line. Threat Is Removed. The French have thus removed a more or less serious threat to the vil lage of Locre, which Itself is an im portant defense lor Montrouge and other hills lying immediately to the west. The enemy has long coveted Locre and retention of the hospice would give him a good jumping off place for another assault against the village. WITH THE FRENCH ARMT IN FRANCE, June 8. (By the Associated Press.) Americans, with the French, have made trench raids along the left bank of the Avre River in the Mont didier sector. These raids have been carried out with good effect and enemy works have been destroyed as well as several prisoners captured. Americans Learn Qulckl x. Everywhere the American troops are rapidly becoming accustomed to every phase of the war. They are showing Initiative and dash which has been repeatedly commented upon by veteran French and British soldiers, who wel come their appearance. The revival of artillery activity In the sector between Noyon and Mont didier is claiming attention today. Whether the Germans intend to deliver another blow here with their still powerful reserves cannot be foreseen, but the indications ponit to such an event. The German 'gunners in this region are active in securing ranges on allied positions. This work, however, Is car ried out with difficulty as the allied cannon Incessantly harry the enemy's battery emplacements and bombard the rear of his lines. Ban Shock Troops Removed. Most of the German shock divisions used in the Marne battlefield have been withdrawn from that area. The second Franco-American attack in the neighborhood of Venllly-la-Poterie and Bouresches was a brilliant success to the allied arms. It was con tinued yesterday with an advance in the Chezy sector, farther northwest on the line. The enemy seemed somewhat dis heartened, replying only feebly to the allied fire. Prisoners arriving at the rear in small batches appear to be thoroughly exhausted and depressed by the turn affairs are taking. All Wireless May Be Seized. WASHINGTON,' June 8.

State Fish Commis sioner personally applied today to the Supreme Court for rehearing of the ter case brought by Nick Constants of Tacoma. The court has affirmed In this case the legal right of Austrians to fish in Puget Sound or other state waters when they had filed declara tions of Intention to become citizens, notwithstanding the fact that this country is now at war with Austria. In his petition for reconsideration Darwin attacks Constanti's contention that refusal to grant him a fishing li cense deprived him of his usual occu pation by a showing that Constant! never engaged in fishing and the only license be ever held was a liquor li cense in Tacoma and that the only business be ever followed in this state was the saloon business . Darwin alleges also that Constantl lived in the United States 10 years be fore he filed even a. declaration of in tention to become a citizen . By the Supreme Court decision, of which th ceommsllsoner asks a modi ficatlon, it is urged that 3000 subjects of Austria Hungary, a large per cent age of whom are naval reservists of the nations with which America is at war are allowed, the same free rights on Puget Sound waters as loyal American citizens.

In an arUcle in the Matin dealing with the recent appoint' ment of the Paris committee of de. tense. Frederic Brunet, a Socialist dep uty, says: "By another drive made without re gard to sacrifices, the Germans, if they did not enter Paris, perhaps could ap proach near enough to hold the capital under the fire of long-range guns, not as now, for an Intermittent bombard ment, but for methodic, permanent fire. Such conditions would render In dustrial life Impossible, and the gov rnment's will to resist must not be influenced by the fear of sacrificing the lives of non-combatants or by fear of the consequences which a cessation of the output of the munition factories surrounding the capital would entail. M. Brunet highly approves the for mation of the committee. "Even the most unlikely, the most extreme possibilities ought to be con sldered," he says, "until American con tingents can turn the scale of effec tives In our favor. Although I am convinced that our armies will keep the enemy far enougb from the capital to prevent the horrors of aa Intensive bombardment, all measures should be taken to fortify the defense and Insure the safety of the aged and the children "Paris cannot be abandoned.
