Thierry to Novon
Having reached
the Jlarne be
tween Dormans
and Chateau
Thierry, the en
emy had nothing
to gain by press
ing further hla
southward ad
vance. 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.

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.
