Germans Cease Plunging Tactics-

Again Repulse Violent Attacks In
Marne Region, Taking Prisoners.
By The Associated I're:is, Juno 14.
(lerman nttaekH on cash side of
the French salient between Montdid
ler nnd Soissons seems to have been
dorinltely cheeked.
Halted In their rush toward Com
jiif'Kne and unable rapidly to outflank
the French by their onslaught south
west of Soissons, the enemy appar
ently has ceased his pluncliiit tactics
which began last Sunday and for a
time threatened vital French posi
tions. Tlio French official statement
says that only local fighting has oc
cured along the front of attack dur
ing the last few hours. German
Josses according to accounts have
been appalling.
Five, Days Futilo Iliitchery
The latest Gorman attompt to
lireuk thru tho French lines lasted
but flvo days before It reached the
y' phase of equilibrium which has muk
ed the end of the critical period In
the Picardy, Flanders and Alsne
drives.
The Germans have been.held north
of the Aronde and Mntss rivers to the
west of the Oise. They havo failed
to make serious attacks against the
new French positions east of that
river. Southwest of Soissons they
advanced approximately a mile over
a front of four miles, but their pro
gress wns so slow that after the In
ception of the righting UHle anxiety
was felt concerning futuie events In
that region.
While attempting to on t flunk the
formidable natural barrier of the
Compiegnc forests, the Germans have
shown no desiie to try frontal at
tacks. a iht Drive Kxpected
An Inference that might be drawn
f from the apparent haste of the Ger
mans in beginning their great attack
east of Montdldier almost as their
last sweeping ndvance on tho Alsne
front had been checked at the Marne
Is that another German offensive
may bo speedily launched. French
think this blow will fall on tho lirit
ish front, either In front of Amiens
or in the Flanders sector, in an at
tempt to cut thru to the channel
ports.
The British official statement
speaks of the repulse of a strong loc.
rnl attax-k In the region of Merrls, on
tho extreme western an;;lo of the
Flanders front.

SANTIAGO. Chile, June 14. The
N'aclon, tho official organ of the gov
ernment, published an article which
pays that the government of tho Unit
ed Slates desires to form n political
Moo with the nations of South Ame
rica, with the object of moving in
concert wllh them In fuluro affairs.
It mills that tho llryini formula for
eulimltting to arbitration all ques
tions nriMng between nations bad
swept aside the suspicions which had
een felt In South America countries
toward policies of the I'nited Slates.
The article closes with fellclatlons
over tho cordiality of tho I'nited
Stutcv) will h it savs "will make all
America a political force and a great
commercial power."
The same Idea Is echoed by all the
other journals.
Farty of Fifty Germans Surrender
Under Flag of Truce All Attacks
Fail, Causing Eenemy Unexpected
Trouble Foch's Handling of Situ
ation Highly Commended.
LONDON, Juno 11. A party of
fifty Germans among the troops who
attacked the Americans northwest of
Cheauteau Thierry on Thursday sur
rendered under a flag of truce, re
ports the correspondent of tho Dally
Mail with the American forces in j
France. All German attacks failed j
and they left behind them dead and'
wounded. Describing tho (Uiy's-
events, the correspondent says:
"The Germans apparently are an
noyed at losing llelleau wood. All
night and early this morning guns
of almost every calaber pounded the
Americans at Bourosches and Boll-i
eau wood.
All Attacks tail I
"Local attacks, more or loss feeblo
in strength, followed and the Ger
mans entered the Btreets of Bour-
esches. Nevertheless, the attacKS
failed and the enemy left behind a
number of dear, several wounded and
many prisoners, fifty of whom sur
rendered under a flag of truce, ma
chine guns and trench molars.
"About 4 00 enemy cavalry were
discovered south of ICterpllly (north!
of Bouresches) yesterday, but' few j
returned after the Americans and ;
ri,.a.l '
"It is believed the Germans have
ordered fresh divisions to the Amer
ican sector near Bouresches (west
of Belleau wood.)
"Tho excellent relations between
the French nnd American commands
Is shown by the fact that a regiment
of Zouaves and a division of French
artillery are now working under an
American division commander."
Progress Is Slow
WASHINGTON, June 14. The!
German crown prince -continues his
desperate attempts to overcome the
difficult forest regions barring his
way into the Oise valley, and allho
by heavy fighting he gets a little
nearer to Compiegno his progress is
slow.
Thursday's reports aro considered
satisfactory on the whole by obser
vers here. The enemy has progress
ed about a mile on a very nurow front
northeast of Vlllers Cotterets, but the
French troops are showing such de
termination and valor In counter
attacks that altho reports from Paris
intimate it may be necessary to give
further ground In tho face of superior
numbers, there exists a spirit of quiet
confidence nnd trust in General
Foch's prudent handling of the situa
tion. Both tho French and German com
muniques indicato tho terrible na
ture of the struggle that Is proceed
ing, the Germans having to admit the
loss of some guns.
It Is clear, too, that tho American
forces in tho region of Bouresches
are showing grit in holding off the
German aitacks, which gives tho en
emy great and unexpected trouble.

dent of the l'osial Telegraph com
pany, that his company would wuivo
its right to dischnri;e men who liuvo
joined u union, and that Newcomb
I'ni'lton, president of the Western Un- .
ion would make his answer next Mon
thly. The war labor hoard's decision in
the case was that the men should bo
