THE GERMAN OFFENSIVE,
French Improve Their Line, dary
London, June 7. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Hig reports: The French improved their line in the neighbourhood of Locre by a successful local, attack, prisonering a low We raided: post in the Strazecla sector at day light, prisonering nine.
What are the Enemy Intentions ?
London, June 7. Beuter's correspondent at the French Headquarters, writing on the moming of June 3, says: On the western front of his salient the enemy continues pressure over the 'great plateau west of the Grise valley and southward to- warda Neuilly Saint Front, which was about six miles from the nearest sector of the enemy line at mid-day yesterday. Un the Marne the enemy holds the river bank for a distance of three miles east of Chartreres, and German transport waggons can be seen on the roads from the heights on the southern bank It is probable that the enemy does not desire to progress southward beyond the Marne. As soon as his fank is firmly protected by the river bis whole effort will doubtless be diverted in the direction of Fest. The enemy continues to pour fresh troops into the struggle. The Germans have already engaged nearly fifty divisions; forty......... divisions were ordered to participate in the offensive as originally planned on the Aisne and another Ave were engaged in the extension of the enemy's front north-west of Boissons. Among these troops are some of the best and most carefully trained storm divisions of the German army. Of the twenty-three divisions composing Von Hatiers' army. of assault on March 23, fifteen have been identified among the troops carrying out the attack on the Aisue. These divisions were withdrawn from the Picard battle-field at the end of March, brought up to strength and given a few weeks strenuous training for the new offensive. There are several Guard divisions in this army of shock-troops who are too valuable to be exposed to the bombardment for long periods in the front-line, being quickly withdrawn as soon as their special task is accomplished.
Franco-American Successes.
London, June 8.
A French communique states: Between the Ourcq and the Marne we successfully continued local operatius. French and American troops extended their gains north of Vauly to Chesy and captured Venilly La Poterie and Boureacher. They are appreciably improving their positions on the front from Torcy to Bouresches. Between the Marne and Rheima the action against Bligny continued, resulting in the capture of the entire village. Two hundred were prisonered during the day, while thirteen German aeroplanes were brought ". down. Twenty-seven tons of bombs were dropped in the region of Boye, St. Quentin and Soissons with good results.
A French communique reports rather great artillery activity on the front south of the Aisne, notably in the region of Faverolles, We improved our positions south-east of Ambleny during the night. Wo continued our pressure south of the Ourcq and made new progress. We carried out our lines as far as the western outskirts of Dammard to the cast of Chery and over a kilometre north of Veuilly La Poteric. We prisonered fifty. Further south the enemy twice violently attacked our positions on the Boureschele Thiollet front. The attacks were shattered with heavy Ictres. The night was relatively calm elsewhere.
Allies Begin Attacking.
London, June 8.
Now that the force of the German offensive is spent the Allies are taking their turn at attacking. They gained suc- cesses in local operations yesterday all along the line, re- capturing a village in which are useful positions for opposing the enemy's arrow wedge. The most important gain res captured was Hill 204, west of Chateau Thierry, dominating the town and river. A height of 430 feet, tais interposes an obstacle to the advance in the direction of La Ferte-sous- Jouatre, which is believed to be one of the initial goals of the German attack and it will hamper enemy strategy aim ing to secure a strong position on the Marne to cover the subsequent advance to Paris.
The Germans still hold the heights north of the Marne. from Chateau Thierry to Dormans, but have apparently lost the important spur running along the river to Paris from Hill 204 to Charly-sur-Marne. The Americans conspicuously participated in the Hill 204 success, while the British dis- ungushed themselves by capturing Bligny between the Marne and Rheims. The great extent of front still leaves room for the maneuvre of fresh surprises and the fact that the Germans are not fortifying themselves between the Aisne and the Marne indicates that they shortly, contem- plates fresh rash. With the Allies barring the roads to Amiens, Calais and Paris it is thought not impossible that Ludendorff will deliver a stroke where he believes he will find the Allies least prepared, such as in Lorraine.
Other Reports,
London, June 8.
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reporting on aviation says: We brought down fourteen and drove down eight enemy machines, while anti-aircraft fire forced down another. One British machine was lost. We dropped 28 tons of bombs st day-time on Thursday and eleven tons at night-time on targets, including Valenciennes, Le Chateau, Basigny and bt, Quentin.
*
Another report states: We prisonered a few, on the night of the 7th inst, in a successful, raid in the neighbour- bood of Hulloch. Our patrols inflicted casualties in the Strazeele sector. Hostile artillerying is active northward of Albert and south-eastward of Arras
A wireless German official message says: We prisonered fifty-two French. During an advance west of Kemmel we cap. tured the lines astride the Ancre and south-eastward of Sarty prisonering three hundred.

On February 14, 1916, Bassis desired to renew by solerza sot the engagements she had under- taken with regard to Belgium, "heroically faithful to har inter national" obligations.” Russia declared before the listening world that she would not put an end to the hostilities antil Belgium was re-established in her independence and largely compensated for the injuries that she had suffered. Russia further promised Belgium her assistance in assuring the commercial and financial reinstate- ment of Belgium,
