LI.NDO.V, JimoY,. German troops
this morning attempted to raid tho
' Ttrltish lines Eouthwost of Morlan-
court in tho region 'oast of Amiens,

Associated Press Summary
' German masses no longer hurl
themselves at. the allied lines along
; extended fronts. Tho momentum of
1; the Touton advance of last week np-
, rears to have exhausted itsolf In
' striking tho ylolding lines of tho
French and Urltlsh, which now have
stiffened and are holding tho foe ex
cept for Insignificant gains hero and
Ihero, especially along the front run
ning south from the neighborhood
from Soissons to Chateau Thierry.
Tho struggle apparently Is changing
from a war of movement to a war of
position.
Official reports show that the Ger
mans are launching their assaults on
Chozy, Corey and near Dommieres,
isolated points of vantage. These at
tacks wore, roughly, from a five to
seven miles apart along tho line
which Includes ground whoro tho
Americans have established them
selves and have fought the Germans
to a standstill. Tho French official
statement says the Teuton attacks
wore all repulsed.
American Spirit Kino
Tho report of operations along the
Urltlsh front falls to show any not
able activity on the part of tho Ger
mans. At Morlancourt between the
Ancro and the Somme, .south of Al
bert, tho Germans supported by hea
vy artlllory attempted to raid the
Urltlsh positions, but wore repulsed
leaving prisoners behind.
Details or the fighting In which
American units have taken part show
that General Pershing's men have
gone Into battle with a spirit which
Is magnificent. In their defense of
the bridge across the Mnrno they re
pulsed the enemy in a decisive man
ner and with their rifles fire prevent
ed the Germans making further ser
ious attempts to cross the Marno.
American machine gune flro con
verted tho northern part of Chateau
Thierry Into no man's land. The
Germans, unable to hold their posi
tions under the 'storm of bullets
poured Into them by the Americans,
have withdrawn to the outskirts of
that section of tho city.

were unable lo understand why Ihe

WILLING TO TALK
NOT NEGOTIATE
LONDON, .lunn r.. "Wo aro will
ing to converse, hut not to negotiate
willi German labor." pays Arlhur
Henderson, labor leader in Iho unuso
of commons, in a statement, referring
to an announcement made by Chester
AT. Wright, a meinour of tlio Amor
nn labor mission which visited Kng
land, which Implied that tho policy
of Mr. Henderson and hla parly had
been radically modified, especially
regarding fl conferenco between Iho
allied and German workers.
Mr. Henderson believes this view
is likely to mislead tho American
public. Ho emphasized the fact Unit
(he policy of the allied workers is
not that of compromise on any essen
tial issno and still less of surrender
to the militaristic and Imperialistic j
central powers. What tho allied wor-
kers want is a peace of reconciliation
and undi'istanding in harmony wllh'
the principles of International justlcnj
and the right of nations to freely de
termine their own destinies.
EXPECTS LULL TO
LONDON, June ii. Tho vlw or
tlio military experts here Is thut tho
enemy will continue to develop the
present operations us long as, but no
longer, than they prove fruitful, but
that as soon as it become apparent
that tho opposing forces are. becoming
equalized, thero will be another lull
such as followed the .March and April
offensives, which will bo a pi-oludu to
anothor drive In some new direction.
It cannot be denied that the prospect
of such a drlvo further north, cither
thru Amiens or Ileauvals, or in Flan
ders, where an allied retirement
would bo a much more serious propo
sition. Is viewed with some concern,
but confidence Is still felt In General
Foeh, and above all. In the fact of tho
active help now being brought to tho
allies by American troops, '

Daniels said today.
"The great duty of our navy, said
lie, "is lo keep ope ntho door to

Thut has been accom

tho theory that ninny submarines

nothing to indicate that more than

Amerieun destroyers and other small

Iho wur zone, it was fully realized
Hint submarine raids in American
waters weer entirely possible and thai
Ihe entire costal patrol service was
built up on tFiat assumption.
Viewed Irom Ml purely American
landpoint, officials believed the dis
patch of Ihe swift nuvnl era ft to for

American troops could not lie sent to
franco with any degree of security
and tho Coiled Slates could not take
its fair share of Iho burden of wur

sideration that impelled the govern

rush the ships ubrond.

advance, they engaged the Germans
ut closo quarters and cleared them
