Flags In The Air I saw an American flag fluttering from one plane which was headed straight for the front after having dropped a message at headquarters and a moment later I knew that the Stars and Stripes were waving over a new scene in American history, directing the fire of our guns whose shells raked the ground until it was like the open gate ol hell. Across the valley the outlines of Can tigny's ruins were occasionally visioie through the smoke. To the rear an ob servation hill, once wooded, had been almost stripped, the bare skeletons of the remaining trees standing like skele tons in the early sunlight. Then a straight line of fluffy white smoke appeared at the base of tho hill and moved slowly upward enveloping everything as it advanced. It was the barrage behind which the Americans could be seen through field glasses like mere dots, creeping slowly and steadily forward behind the curtain of their own fire. In the valley French tanks crept and slid and slipped like caterpillars towards the enemy. Their sides spat tin at the Germans as they advanced and cleaned up the enemy machine gun nests with the doughboys trailing behind them. . Artillery Fire Pierce Meanwhile the artillery fire continued in terrific volume. Bursting shells from the big guns eould be seon far to the war of the German lines. All the Ger man batteries were bathed in a deluge of gas and the roads behind over which the enemy might send reinforcements wero kept under a constant rain of high explosive hells. German asusage bal loons attempting observation work drifted aiid swung in mid-air but the French planes maintained supreme con trol of the air throughout the fight. The weather was ideal for an attack. After a night spent in a dugout, I start ed to walk further toward tha front. At daybreak a mist hung low over the valleys, concealing everything. Slanting ravs of sunlight gradually broke through the mist soon revealed the Am erican batteries already in action. New guns appeared suddenly in the most unexpected places, haying been brought up during the night. A littlo further on I came to the ruins of a church. The tombstones in the graveyard had been uprooted by tho high explosiv.es, the altar was demolished and only a few broken, vacant pews seemed silent wit nesses to America's first offensive thrust in France. Once past the hfavy artillery, the bark of the light guns could be heard. These guns stood in the open, their short, sharp reports breaking into the constant ripping sound that filled the air as heavy shells, passed ovorhead and tlue low rumble of explosions beyond. The fire of the heavy, artillery was so violent thnt separate explosions behind the enemy's line could scarcely be dis tinguished. The roar was more like that of a gigantic blast furnace. German Prisoners Grinned ' Occasionally during the shelling a thkk column of black smoke could be d'Vtinguished behind the bocho front line, signalling the destruction of some Gorman ammunition dump. When I reached the beet pile observation post, tho battle was at its height. Returning acrosh the field German prisoners slip ped along between lines of Americans,' covered with tho dust and grime of bat- i tit but grinning broadly. When the American infantrymen en tered Cantigny they opened a gronade attack on tho enemy and quickly clear ed the village. Within Cantigny is a natural cavo capable of holding 400 per sons. Forty Americans carrying flame throwers were detailed to take caro of I that spot and places like it. American . machine gunners followed the infantry I closely and the newly won lines wero , quickly consolidated. After the capture of the village, car-! rier pigeons carried by men in the first' companies which went over tho top, were released and carried back to head quarters reports of the battb's progress, i Men of the signal corps rapidly strung , wires to all points of the occupied ter ritory and soon all of it was in. touch ! with the commander. When I returned to the rear, I pass ed the batteries still standing in tlm lopfn and pumping shells Into the Ger mans. ' The French Cheered. " Smiling French artillerymen cried out: "Bon Americans; battu lea bodies" Passing into a villat behind the Am erican lines, which for days had beenj in uer shell fire, t fou::il a full blown j tall game progressing, while the artil-j lury not far away was still firing. Drawn up in a rather battered field, wiili a shell hole as first base, two teams! of doughboys who had not to-'en involv ed in the Cantigny battle were staging a bashnll fight of their own, paying no heed to the German shells whistling overhead. In the headquarters dugout telephones were jingling and officers were receiv ing detailed reports of every movement at the front. There I learned that the enemy was making a relief when the American attack was launched. Two German regiments were thus caught, un pnpaied. ' iiv 8 o'clock all the tanks had re turned and all the objective positions hnd been consolidated. The extension of tit.?

A shipping agreement between Sweden aiid the United States, Great Britain, France and Italy, for the period of the war has been concluded in London, accord ing to official information here today. Four hundred thousand tons of Swed ish shippiug is released by the agree ment. Under the agreement just reached, niore liberal rations of grain and flour will be allowed Sweden. In return Sweden will restrict iron exports to Germany. Strict prohibition of re-exports to Germany of supplies from the United' States is included in the agree ment. Officials here forecast a consid erable r.elief to South America and Eu ropean neutrals through the acquisition of the Swedish tonnage. The Danish mission was in conference with the war trade board today over the terms of an agreement similar to that just completed with Sweden which it is expected will relieve the food sit uation in Denmark and add Danish ton nage to the world's shippiug.

The Gernrans,- by an attack in the Ailetto river region be tween Couey-le-Chateau and the Oise river, have definitely consolidated tie Aisno and Picardy battle fronts, ac cording to the JFreneh war office an nouncement today. (Seemingly this is an effort to drive toward the Oise, to the westward, in an effort to flank the allied forces bo low Noyon, on the southern psrtion of the Picardy front.) Before this attack the' French have withdrawn from Blerancourt and Epag ny, fighting stubbornly. (Epagny is ix niik'S northwest of Smissons, Blerancourt is five miles northwest of Epagny and about eight miles southeast of Noyon.)

ABE AFTER EHEXMS By Henry Wood (United Press staff correspondent) With the French Armies in the Field May 31. The Germans are determine to capture Khesms. Held by the British to the east, north and west) of that city, the ene my plans a wide encircling movement to the southeast, hoping to surround it, military authoidties bclieveu today. To accomplish this, the Germans are expecited to increase! their pressure be ttwecn Brouillet and Jauvry, with the in-ten'tion of breaking through along the Ardre river and, lollnwing this val ley southeastward, gradually turning to tiho east so as to approach Rhiems from the south. This strategy would entail tho capture of Vilje-en-Tardenois four miles southeast of Brouillet and two miles to the west of the Ardre. The Ardre rises in a small lake four miles north of the Marne at Eperuay. It flows northeastward converging with the Veslo at Fismes. Thei German progress- hag been slow er and more difficult for the past sev eral hours owimg to the steady arrival of French reserves. Tho enemy appar ently has been entirely cheeked at most points on this front. His efforts now seem to be concentrated in driving to ward IPere-en-Tardenois, as a part of tho attempt to 'take Rheims. Every German regiment engaged in the southern drive advances in sue cesuive "bounds". Four companies are in the front rank each time. Each company has four portable machine guns, with one in reserve. Each regi ment, in addition, has three machine gun companies, possessing twelve ma chine guns apiece and ithreo mounted trench wortar companies which have a jiew long range weapon. Xs each wave of four companies ' leaps forward successively, it is able to precede itself with a machine gun barrage, 'whilo tho portable trench mortars dislodge the allied machine aims and wipe out the centers of re sistance.

"Northeast of Ypres there were pa trol encounters in which wo took a few prisoners and machine guns. "Northeast of Robecq we raided an enemy post. A few of our men are miss ing. In tho vicinity of Villers-Breton-neux and Albert and also between Fes tuibort and the Clarence river there was hostile art.illerying."
