"Continued from Page 81 THE BATTLE IN FRANCE,

Sir Douglas Haig's Report.

London, June 14. Field Marshal Bir Douglas Haig reports: French patrois northward of Bailleul brought in a few prisoners during the night Reporting on aviation be says: Low clouds and poor visibility impeded air-work on the 13th, but our machines took advantage of spells of clearer weather and dropped nine tons of bomba on Zeebrugge mole and Armen- tores and Comines stations, also on targets in the French battle area. We destroyed ten German arcopianes and drove down two uncontrollable. The British lost five. Heavy mista prevented night flying.

Germans Repulsed Atlucks."

Landon, June 11. A wireless German official message says: We repulsed French attacks between Toormezedo and Vierstraat and prisonerod 150. We repulsed counterattacks in the neigb bourhoods of Courcelles and Mery also in the Matz region. We penetrated the forest of Villers Cotterets. The Crown Prince since 97th May has captured 1,050

America's Fine Fighting Men.

London, Jane 15, Reuters correspondent at the American Headquarters, wiring on June 11th, says: The pinin acis of the pass month's Sghting are that wherever die Germans have met Americans the Germans have been beaten, paying more dearly for defeat than the Americans paid for victory. The Americans resemble our Dominiou soldiers more than kome- born mec. They are not going to den! lightly with unsoldier ly conduct and they are not easily going to forgive breaches of humanity. If forced to see red it will be some time before hey notice any other colour. They will have no mercy on men who do not fight straight and they will avenge their comrades slain by treachery to the uttermost platoon they can lay their hands on

The Germans will dislike them as much as they dislike the Canadians, Australians and South Africans, and I think little more. The American prmy includes many of Ger man names and ancestry. A company of these marching to the front met German prisoners whom the Americans assailed trenchantly and abusively in the German language for their obedience to such a misconocived hound as the Kaiser and for making themselves the scum of the earth by their fighting methods so that their American relatives had. come four thousand miles to wipe them out. The prisoners were too amazed to reply..

German Concern.

launched infantry attack morning the with the object of restoring the situation. A party of about one hundred "stoss truppen" zucceeded in driving out the garrison of a new post but our vigorous counter attack resulted in us regarding the post as secured. We took ten prisoners. Our casualties were light.

**

Wy the Germars Falled.

London, June 16. Reuter's correspondent at French Headquarters, wiring on the 14th, says: The German attack on the 9th had been carefully prepared. An enormous reserve of artillery and gas shellz accumulated for three weeks before were care- fully concealed in woods behind the front and the ground was carefully studied beforehand by "sturm" units selected" to lead the attack who were sent to the front line for periods of three days in order to become more familiar with the sector. Minenwerfer were dragged up to the front at night by gangs of men. The attacking divisions discarded all bag- grye and equipment not absolutely indispensable before the battle began, the men carrying only their arms, ammunition "and iron ration. The objectives of the first two days were previously mapped out. On the 9th the German were to reach Tricot on the Montdidier-Senlis railway, Mery, Belloy and both sides of the Compiegne Road. On the 19th they were to enter Compiegne. The divisions employed included six entirely fresh. The attack failed because in three days desperate fighting the enemy was unable to gain the upper hand on the plateaus west of Matz. Two factors differentiate the battle from the others. The first was that there was no surprise despite the enemy's efforts at concealment; secondly instead of having our main line resistance perched en a knife edge six hundred feet high with a cliff-like drop. in the rear and a river behind such as at Chemin-dee-Dames, we were fighting on ground which was properly organised. Given these essentials of a successful defence the French infantry undoutedly will hold the Germans wherever they choose to attack.

A French communique says: There has been mutual artillery activity between Montdidier and the Oise, also on the Aiste and near Champlat and Brigny.

The End of the Battle.

Paris, June 15.

A semi-official message assumes that the latest battle has now ended. It points out that each successive big offen- sive is of lees duration, on a narrower front and yields less ground and it concludes that the resistance is proving more and more effective. The German losses are proportionately. aggravated. Still there is no doubt the enemy will some- where renew the offensive all the more hastily because he is weakening from day to day whereas our reserves are in- cessantly increased by the growing afflux of Americans.

M. Henri Bidou, writing in the "Journal-des-Debate" says: The battle for Compiegnie has been a defeat for the enemy who has been foiled in his plan to reach the coveted base for operations against Paris, but the battle is only an opisode in the general action. The Germans are disappointed at the failure of their sacrifice of so many precious divisions, but partial defeat will not alter their general plan. We must expect the enemy's blows to rain more thickly as he becomes weaker and with loss time and Imon left to reach his goal,
