There has been plenty of time to destroy thor oughly the bridges, and we may as sume that this has been done. The Marne here Is a considerable obstacle, running through a pro nounced gorge, so that the approaches to the river are dominated from either bank. To force a passage with troops exhausted by hard fighting and long marches In the face of fresh reserves would not only have been a very dif ficult military operation, but would even, If successful, have exposed the troops which had crossed to counter attack at the head of the salient with the river In their rear On the other hand, having reached the Marne, the enemy has obtained a valuable screen for the left flank of the advance southwestward In the direction of Paris. A change In the center of gravity of the battle was therefore to be expected. Qn the eastern flank of the battle field, between Dormans and Rhelms, the enemy appears to be satisfied for tho present with the ground he has pained, and there are no Immediate signs ot any great pressure Tunis Toward Solssnns Having made un his mind to press In the direction of Paris, the railways converging on Rhelms are of less mo ment to the enemy than those con verging on Solssons. and we may be certain that he Is concentrating all his Xoyon that Sir Horace Smith-Dor rlen's second corps obtained Its llrst real, if brief, rest after the battles of Mons and Le Bateau, and marched from Xoyon southward by Cuts, Bleancourt and Audlgnlcourt, all names now appearing In tho communi ques, to the Alsne at Vic and Attlchv, while Sir Douglas Halg's first corps crossed at Solssons and Fontenoy, both on the present fighting front. The northern battletteld between N'oyon and Solssons consists partly fierce struggle or tne outskirts or tne great forest of on a forty-mile -ompiegne anu partly ot an open and front extending '"Sh plateau, separating the alleys from Chateau of the Oiso and the Alsne. This pla. sure on the flanks to get elbow room for the free move ment of re-enforcements and for sending forward supplies and mu nltlons. It now has changed front to tho west nnd has developed Into tea u is comparatively waterless, as wp found, when crossing It in August, 13H, and this must add to the dim cultles of our French comrades on this part of the front. Just behind the Immediate scene of the present struggle stretch from the Olse to the Ourcq the forests of Complegne and VIHers - Cotteret. through both of which we marched In retreat. Fnreita Valuable as Screen Immediately to the south of the forest of Complegne lies Neullly, where Bat tery L won undying fame and the Fourth German cavalry division was roughly handled by our cavalry, leaving eight cf Its guns In our hands. It was In the forest of Villers-Cotteret that the Irish guards became for the first time In their history seriously en gaged, their gallant colonel, George Mor rls, falling at their head. Both forests are highly defensible, are well fed by railway lines and afford valuable screens for the detratnment of re-enforcements against the prying eyes of an enemy's air scouts. On this new front the fighting Is steadily Increasing In Intensity, as Is to be expected when the balance of force Is gradually being radjusted. The enemy's progress Is slower, but he Is still gaining ground, most notably on the plateau between the forest of Carle pont and the Alsne nnd along the Ourcq, while at the same time he has obtained a footing on the high ground southwest of Solssons and has to some extent dis engaged the western outskirts of the town, around which the fighting has been fierce and protracted By the extension of the battlefront northward the number of the enemy's divisions which were befOTe the battle holding his front line and have now become engaged must be raised to fif teen or sixteen, while It Is probable that some thirty-five have been sent In from the resere, making a total of about fifty up to date. This must mean that the Crown Prince Is getting to the end of his share of the battle resenes and that the future development of the battle on any large scale turns on whether Hlndenburg will allow him to call on his northern neigh bor. Prince Itupprecht, for re-enforce ment, In order to continue the pressure from Solssons In the direction of Paris, or whether Prince Itupprecht himself will Intervene with a fresh attack on another part of the front. The real German objective Is almost certainly neither Paris nor Amiens, but Foch s reserves Thl Is In accordance with one of the main principles which Moltke taught, a principle which has been thoroughly obsered In modern German military thought To the German General Staff, towns-, even capitals, are means to an end, the end being the destruction of the enemy s main forces In the field.. It was this principle which led, In September. 1914, to Von Kluck's sweep eastward from In front of Paris and his attempt to strike at the flank of Foch's army. This, In turn, led to the victory of the Marne, because the Germans, over rating the extent of their first successes, were not strong enough to carry through their amlbltioua program, and Joffre and Foch, waiting for the chance, pounced on It when it came. The situation remains grave, but we may be certain that Foch Is fully alive to its gravity, Is aware of all that the enemy may attempt, and Is still nursing his reserves for the crisis of the battle.

DRIVE CAN'T CONTINUE, GERMAN PAPER HOLDS Hamburger Naclirichten Critic Says Communications Are Lacking By GEORGE RENWICK Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger Copurlaht, 191S. bu Sew York Timet Co. Amsterdam, June 3. The following comment on the Ger man offensive by the military critic of the Hamburger Xachrlchten Is Interesting- "The further development cf the of fensive will be Influenced by two things. In the first place the arrival of French resenes must be reckoned with, for the French commander has not had time to bring up troops from a considerable dis tance, and he will not hesitate to throw them Into the fight. In the second place, topographical considerations must be taken Into account There Is a lack of roads and railways going from north o south to bind our former bases with the positions now- reached. All routes run from east to west. "Before the communications are cov ered and the next move assured the offensive cannot be perse-ered In It must therefore be accepted that the Ger man advance cannot continue at the same rate as hitherto." That comment Is Interesting In lew of the constantly repeated statements of the German press that the Allied armies on tho line of the German advance are thoroughly beaten and that the reserves also hae been thrown back. Despite that, It would appear there are still very good reasons for caution. Richard Gaedke, critic of the Vor waerts, thinks the present offenshe has been undertaken "for higher aims than the mere gain of so many kilometers." What they are he doesn't suggest, but he hints that there Is some plan about tn be nut Into operation further north. The Rhelnlsch Westfalische Zeltung enthusiastically regards the offensle as having virtually concluded the war In Germany's favor. France, It declares, "must know that she has lost the war and that against Hlndenburg's mailed fist no Briton or American can help her." This and most other newspapers have Indeed cone back to the rhetoric of August, 1914. The Pan-German, too, are beginning to shout their Joy and repeat their extreme demands. The Weser Zeltung, organ of the Bremen Pan-Germans, for Instance, recalls the Kaiser's year-old statement that peace will be dictated by the German Army and hails "peace by the sword as the onlv true peace." England, according to the same Jour nal, "despite all the big words of ner statesmen, knows today that Bhe and her allies will quickly have to lay down their weapons out of exhaustion." And It expresses Itself In favor of the whole Pan-German policy of Dr. Helfferlch. The poor Vorwaerts alone Is unhappy. Its eyes are directed toward the east. and by Lenlne's recent speech It Is per suaded that "an annexationist peace Is no peace, but Is only regarded by the conquered as a breathing space for the gathering together of new strength. When the Brest peace Is so regarded by a Government bo slightly ambitious as that of Lenlne, one can well Imagine how an annexationist peace would be looked upon In countries where less socialistic Governments rule." AUSTRIA FILLED WITH SPIRIT OF BOLSHEVISM Kaiser's Control of Country Spreading Danger of Revolt t By JULfUS WEST Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger Covurioht. 1918. bu .Veto l'orfc Timet Co. Berne, June 3. The political situation In Austria may be summed up briefly as follows: The Goernment feels ltEClf less and less able to resist tho growth of the Bolshevik spirit among the non-German population, especially among the Slovenes, while on the other hand the Austro-Germans are attempting to take over the Goernment more and more. A few days ago Germans and Aus trlans In a conference held In Vienna demanded the creation of a German council for Austria In order to Insure unity of action. In the program sug gested for the council are the Introduc tion of German as the official language throughout Austria, the creation of a strong centralized administration In order to protect the German minorities such as exist In Bohemia, the suppres sion of movements looking toward the Independence of subject nationalities, and the settlement of the future rela tions of the Germans with the Magyars and Poles on the basis of a closer union between Germany and Austria-Hungary Access to the Adriatic was proclaimed nn essential point In this program The names of the principal leaders of this moement are still unpublished1. It Is easier to trace the growth of Germanism than of Bolshevism ; but cer tain facts Indicate that the spirit of revolt Is strong. The statements con tained In my dispatch of May 28, re ferring to reports of disturbances at Oratz and Lalbach, are confirmed In the papers, which put the number of casualties In each place at some thou sands. Such news, however, should be treated with caution. Austrian exchange, though It has fallen slightly In the last few days. Is not Indicative of serious In ternal troubles. Pather more significant Is the fact of delay In the arrl-al of Viennese papers, the last to hand being Monday's. The N'eues Wiener Journal of that date con ialns an article on the shortage of light materials for men's summer attire. Whereas a lightweight suit by a good tailor Used to cost J 8.75, now the coat alone. In the rare cases where It Is obtainable, costs at least $40. Only winter stuffs are now to be had, a suit costing at ordinary tailors from $62.60 to $72.60, and at first-class establish ments 200 to $S50. "For summer." says the Journal "we must eventually consider light garments made of paper. We are now Informed that a white Jacket may be made to sell from $9.60 to $12.50. Naturally It should not bo allowed to get wet, or It looks horrible and completely loses Its shape." Thin linen underwear has also disap peared from the market. The hot sum mer, the article concludes, may be fatal to those unprovided with lightweight clothes. A'.fSMk. WiLnssaBBBB J ifflliTlllllE Sm How About That Sleeping-Porch?
