FRENCH SUCCESS INSPIRES BRITISH Haig's Men Quick to Learn of Strong Counter- Attack HOPE FOR PART IN FIGHT By PHILIP GIBBS Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger Copyright, 1MB, by ,Vra York Times Co. War Correspondents' Headquarters on the Western Front, June 3. Along the main British front from the Somme to Flanders the" troops etlll wait, ready for any German at tacit that may be delivered against them. While the scene of battle on the Marne Is for the present beyond their sphere, the news of the French counter-attack on the wings there and Its preliminary success reached here quickly, and every British soldier's heart is gladdened by the hope that the enemy's advance has been checked and that he will suffer another defeat on those old battlefields where nearly four years ago he was turned off the roaa to Parts. It was a glorious first of June, as far as the weather went, and yester day again the sky was Intensely blue over the fields and the sun hot on roads, so white with dust that the British and French were powdered thickly with it and almost grotesque, like figures carved out of chalk. Luck Favors Germans THe enemy, who once more has the luck of weather, Is using it a good deal for aerial reconnaissance, and some of his scouts came over at mid day, followed all the way by shrapnel from the British. His airmen do not drop many bombs In daylight, but keep them for nights, and hardly a night passes without raids over vil lages in the back areas where the poor women and children go down Into the cellars with the noise of gun fire above them and the crashes of bombs in the little streets about them. Once again the British hospitals have suffered from this work in the night, and they are tho same group of hospitals where the great tragedy happened a week or so ago. On Fri day night last, or. rather, during the small hours of Saturday morning, German raiders reached this place and continued their work of destruc tion. The huts of one of the hospi tals were almost destroyed and once again there was martyrdom of wom en and wounded men and hospital attendants. In this hospital nursei were among the killed and wounded, and there were casualties among the patients and orderlies; in other hospitals round about nursing sisters were severely wounded, and the list of victims is notvllght, although by good fortune the wards were not filled, as after the days of battle, and there were many marvelous escapes. ' This killing and maiming of non combatants and wounded men pro tected by the Red Cross after their ordeal of battle Is most tragic and sickening to the soul. One wishes the enemy would at least have shown come touch of chivalry on one day In the year, the day of Corpus Chrlstl, when we agreed not to bomb Cologne because of the religious processions, but on that very day the raiders came over Paris and dropped bombs. There has also been much German bombing over the British lines. TOIP TO NEW PRISON HARD ON FORMER CZAR Sledge Journey From Tobolsk to Ekaterinburg Consumed Exhausting Weeks By JULIUS WEST Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger Ccpyrtoht, 138, by Xtw York Times Co. nerne, June 3. The Kiev correspondent of the Ham burger Fremdenblatt sends a detailed account given him by a member of the Soviet peace delegation to Ukraine of the transfer of the ex-Czar from Tobolsk In Siberia to Ekaterinburg In the Urals. -The Soviet Government got wind of a plan of escape which was In prepara tion early In the year, owing to an at tempt to bribe a noncommissioned offi cer. Th.e whole Imperial family then were searched, as were also Bishop Her mogen, of Saratov, and the ex-Czar's former adjutant, Prince polgorouky. This resulted In the discovery of com plete plans of escape, which were to have been put into effect In February. Twenty thousand dollars In gold and notes were found in possession of Nich olas and confiscated. This decided the Government to change the place of imprisonment, and a squad of Red Guards was sent to Tobolsk with this object. The return Journey was attended by hardships, owing to the roads having disappeared under snow, and the sledge Journey lasted for ex hausting weeks. The party consisted of the ex-Czar and ex-Czarlna' and one daughter. The ex-Czarevltch was too weak to be moved until later and was left behind with two of his sisters, who refused to be separated from him. He was brought to Ekaterinburg as soon as the thaw permitted.

British Report The text of the official report fol lows: Local operations, carried out dur ing the night In the neighborhood of Vieux Bcrequin and Merris, ad vanced our line slightly at these points One hundred and ninety-three prisoners and a number of machine guns and trench mortars were cap tured In these operations. Our casu alties were slight. Successful raids, which resulted In the capture of twenty prisoners, three machine guns and a trench mortar, were carried out by us southeast of Arras, northwest of Lens and west of Mervllle. A hostile raiding party trted to enter our lines south of Vlllers Brettonneux", but was repulsed. (Vleux Berequln, and Merris He In the zone Immediately north of the Lys River on the Flanders front. They are about a mile and a half apart Villers Brettonneux Is on the Plcardy front, due east of Amiens ) The arrival of reserves Is strengthen ing the entire line and rendering lnfiltra. tlon constantly more difficult. This Is particularly noticeable at Chaudun. where the Germans sought to filter through the agp between the forests of Complegne and Vlllers-Cotterets With their efforts to reach the Olse thus chJcked and their advance west ward along the Marne meeting with deterlmned resistance the hoches natur ally are throwing the bulk of their ef forts Into the valley of the Ourcq. SeTenty-five-Mlle Battlellne The entire battlefront now measures 120 kilometers (74.52 miles) divided Into . three sectors Xoyon to Solssons. thirty kilometers (18 63 miles) ; Solssons to Chateau-Thierry, forty-five kilometers (27 945 miles), and Chateau-Thierry to Rhelms, forty-five kilometers (27.945 miles) The Germans to date have engaged fifty divisions (600,000 men). The first week of the German drive on Paris, between Solssons and Rhelms ended last night with the armies of the Crown Prince checked at the Marne. The strength of Foch's reserves now largely ,ln action has been felt for a couple of days by the Germans. Yester day they made the smallest advance since the launching of the great Alsne offensive which has developed Into a new battle of the Marne. Foe's Gain Slighter While the Germans have scored fur ther slight gains the most Important of which is the capture of that part of Chateau Thierry which lies on the north bank of the Marne the French have made greater gains in smashing counter attacks. On the Allied left flank the French, by splendid hand-to-hand fighting, have recaptured four towns. Three of these Longpont, Corey and Troesnes He in FORESEES ENEMY PUSH WESTWARD ON MARNE By G. H. PERRIS Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger Copyright, 10i8, by AVu York Times Co. With the French Armies. June 3. On Friday afternoon, General von Boehm's troops opened a new pocket beyond Culchy, of a depth of about five miles, and on either side of the Ourcq Valley Saturday, In the course of stub born fighting, this salient was slightly extended and at the same time a nar now bend was added to their gains be tween the Olse, about Point Eveque, and the Alsne, west of Solssons. The main line of pressure was thus changed from south to southwest, and while the rest of the new front is rela tively quiet, there have developed two bulges, which represent the acutest .stress of the battle. The first of these Is between the Olse and the Alsne, directed toward the angle of the two rivers at Complegne; the second, midway between the Alsne and the Marne, points westward, along the ourcq, toward tne ancient town or Fafertc-Mllon. In both these fields there has been a series of violent struggles, with a notable Increase of the power of resist ance of the Allies. North of the Alsne the German assaults have been nearly everywhere broken. A slight advance by the Germans on the Ourcq has been won at the cost of very heavy lqsses, and the French -are standing with splen did resolution' along Its small tributary, the Savleres, which marks the border of the forest region of 'Vlllers-Cotterets. As the enemy has reached the heights northwest of Chateau Thierry, wherewe watch them from the south side of the river, an attempt .to push westward along the north bank of the Marne 'Is to be expected.

Allied night Gains Also On the Allied right alto pregTess has heen made by the French, particularly In the neighborhood of Vllle-en-Tar-denols, where the village of Champlat has been retaken from the Germans, making a total of fhe places regained In one day All reports from tho front today are, happily, different from those of the last six days The Allies are holding firm all along the Marne salient from N'oyon to Rhelms, a new battlefront. linking the Plcardy and Champagne campaigns, while the gains they have made In counter-assaults are of the first Im portance. German Claims The German report of Sunday claims progress between Xoyon and Solssons. asserting that tho heights east of Moul-lns-sous-Touvent were won, and that gains were scored west of Xouvron The Crown Prince's move toward Paris has progressed only a mile down the Valley of tho Ourcq. The enemy's main pressure Is still directed west ward. Occupation of Chateau Thierry by the enemy has been expected at any mo ment for the last three dajs In the most crucial sector of the line. between Xoyon and Solssons the Allies have more than held their own, despite the repeated and furious assaults the Crown Prince has directed there with the hope of breaking down the defense so that the German armies on the Marne and on the Ourcq may dash west ward for Paris. Military men here believe that If the Germans succeed In breaking down the defense around Solssons the next blow for Paris will be made on the line from Chateau Thierry northwestward to Cantigny on the end of the Montdldler salient In Picardy Americans on Line This would mean that American troops would hold the northern pivot of the line assailed that is, at Cantigny and the French the southern pivot on he north bank of the Marne The German efforts to get In behind Rhelms and then tq crush the Cathedral City with simultaneous assaults from the front, the north and the rear, have all been frustrated They hae obtained even less success In their attempts to press forward and sever the Chajons-Parls railway, which feeds the Allied line between Rhelms and Verdun. With the best troops at their com mand, the German officers are employ ing every strategy and the battle on the left wing Is being contested with a bit V mess hitherto unknown. TVS Germans continue to pour new divisions into the battle. No doubt now remains, in the mind of many military critics', that they Intended to make their supreme effort on the Marne, rather than In the offensive toward Amiens, which was .started In March. Xearly 200,000 refugees, mostly women and children, have arrived from the Marne districts and hae been sent Into Normandy and Brittany, a Paris I dispatch says slon of his front that wilt prove far beyond the means of the German army to support when America's major offen sive starts for the Rhine The front between Solssons and Cha-teau-Thlerry, which Is the nearest line to Paris, has begun to bulge at Its mid dle line the stomach of a glutton. Von Hindenburg's own blood gluttony Is now being forced to feed Itself only at this one sector of the front. The other areas are held secondary to the deep necessity for reaching the environs of Paris. Each mile by which Von Hlndenburs extends the new salient toward Paris means the German General Staff must find 6000 more men for Its protection. Each mile, therefore, of Von Hinden burg's new advahce means 6000 men must be taken from the German re serves and placed permanently along the battlefront, where they can no longer serve ror surprise attacKS sucn as were used in the Plcardv. Flanders and the Alsne offensives. The German front has now been extended about thirty miles since the beginning of the Alsne attack. This means 180.000 Germans have been permanently transferred from the reserves to the trenches If the German casualties last week be placed at 100.000, the total depletion of Von Hindenburg's reserves musi oe piaceu at 280,000. With thla number removed from par ticipating In future surprise operations. Von Hindenburg's power for developing new onensives Dy suaaen snocit oper ttnna Vin hpen Rerlouslv imnalred. A few more miles of German advance toward Paris, therefore, contains no element of alarm for General Foch. As long as Von Hindenburg is permanently halted at a reasonable distance irom me French capital. It Is he and not General Foch who should do the worrying about the future. . , The stronir resistance now being de veloped by the French Is not to bo re garded as a major counter-attack, but as normal aeiensne uguiing. umy desperate resort to save ltal positions would an Allied counter-attack be Justi fied while America Is unable fully to participate. When that time cornea "counter-attack" will be too meager a word to describe the Allies' operations.

Sep tember and October of this year will be repetitions of April and May, with the Allies fighting desperately to hold off the superior weight of Germany , that Xovember, December, January and Feb ruary will be months of rest, during which this country will hae an oppor tunltv at least to make the defense of the Allies Irresistible, and that there after the adxantage will slowly swing to the Allies so as to make lctory pos sible In 1920 It Is only fair to say that the re sponsible heads of the Allies are con fident that If Germany can repeat all this summer so they too can repeat, they will be able to stop each Germah thrust as It comes, probably after loss of ground, but always short of yielding essential positions to the foe It Is believed here In Washington that the morale of England, France and Italy will stand up under all this pound ing that Is corning and that Germany win gain no unclean peace out of her exhausted foes But plainly such a situation as this Is full of dramatic possibllltes Open war fare is back again It is well to forget the trenches and all our Ideas gained In the last three years of the relative strength of the offensKe and defensive An offensive of today sweeps oer trenches and obstacles as If they did not exist. The defensive line goes back on big front often In haste that almost amounts to confusion Breaks occur on a great scale In a series of smashes llko those at Amiens, between Rhelms and Solssons, an accident may occur and a situation may develop which will make the Germans harder to stop than they have been In those two drhes. So dangerous possibilities are ahead The real hope of the Allies lies In this country. It is the prospect of big armies of Americans reaching Europe which will sustain the sorely tried morale of England, France and Italy.
