The enemy, who had succeeded in crossing the Ols east of Sempigny, was repulsed on the right bank of the river. "The principal effort of the enemy hns been In the gertor of Soissons and further to the south In the direction of Neullly St. Front. To the west of Sols sons our troops have delivered vleor ous counter-attacks and have arrested all the enemy's efforts, inflicting very severe losses. The enemy was unable to make any progress In this direction.

D The War Bride IE OF II 10 TRENCHES Allies Estimate German Loss Since March 21 at 5C0.000. CONFIDENCE IN OUTCOME Ruthlessly Wasting Men To Make Small Gains Washington Officials Confident Of Result, Though Situation May Be Perilous. Washington. To meet the drain that the duel of death imposes on her, Germany is mobilizing youths born during the first half of 1900 barely 18 years old says Entente oiliclul re ports. Her entire 1919 class has already been called out. Loss of men is dis regarded in making the gains thus far obtained. And, while the loss of Soissons plus other German gains makes the situa tion more perilous for the Allies, American and Allied military men still look with confidence upon the final out come. There still was doubt that the Soissons-Rheims smash is Intended as Germany's major thrust. While it may be major, with Paris as its objective, the wooded terrain ahead makes it appear doubtful that the German Gen eral Staff so planned. Secretary of War Baker's comment that the present smash Is "extensive and furious" ably characterizes it. Yet there are siens that the next few diiys will see a slackening of the Ger man punch nnd a stiffening of the Allied forces throuirh reinforcement. Germany Is, as before, sacrificing men ruthlessly for territory. Figures of present losses are vague and unsat isfactory, but official French reports that the cost was over 500,000 men since the offensive started March 21. One hundred and eleven divisions In Picardy and 50 in Flanders were de moralized and had to be reorganized in these two half-successes and It Is estimated that counting repetitions the equivalent of 260 divisions were then thrown in. No German divisions were with drawn from the fight until they had lost at least 2,000 men, the officials here declare. U. S. TROOP SHIP SUNK. U-Boat Gets The Lincoln On Return Trip. Washington.

KAISER CALLS BOYS 0 I Appeals to Americans to Buy Only What Necessity Demands MUST HELP IN WAR WORK President Calls Upon People To Invest Money In War Savings Stamps And Other Government Securities. Washington. To save materials and labor lor necessary war purposes, President Wilson appealed to Ameri cans "to buy only those things which are e.-ocntiul to the individual licalt'i and efficiency," and to volunteer on or before June 28 National Thrift Day to invest systematically in War savings and Thrift Stamps or other government securities. "This war is one of nations not of armies," said the President, "and all of our 100,000,00" people must be economically and Industrially adjusted to war conditions If this nation is to play its full part in the conflict. The problem before us is not primarily a financial problem but rather a prob lem of Increased production of war essentials and the saving of the ma terials and the labor necessary for the support and equipment of our Army and Navy. Thoughtless expenditure of money for non-essentials uses up the labor of men, the products of the farm, mines and factories, and over burdens transportation, all of which must be used to the utmost and at their best for war purposes. "The great results which we seek can be obtained only by the participa tion of every member of the nation, young and old, In a national concerted thrift movement,.! therefore urge that our people everywhere pledge them selves, as. suggested by the Secretary of the Treasury, to the practice of thrift; to Ferve the Government to their utmost In increasing production in all fields necessary to the winning of the war; to conserve food and fuel and useful materials of every kind; to devote their labor only to the most necessary tasks, and to buy only those things which are essential to Indi vidual health and efficiency; and that the people, as evidence of their loyal ty, Invest all that they can save In Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. "The securities issued by the Treas ury' Department are so many of them within the reach of every one that the door of opportunity in this mat ter is wide open to all of us. Prac tically of thrift in peace time Is a virtue and brings great benefit to the Individual at all times. "I appeal to all who now own either Liberty Bonds or War Saving.! Stamps to continue to practice econ omy and thrift, and to appeal to all who do not own Government securi ties to do likewise, and purchase them to the extent of their means. The mnn who buys Government securities transfers the purchasing power of his money to the United States Govern ment until after this war, and to that same decree does not buy in competi tion with the Government. "I earnestly appeal to every man, woman and child to pledge themselves on or before the 28th of June to save constantly and buy as regularly as possible the securities of the Govern ment; and to do this as far as possible through membership In war-savings societies. The 2Sth of June ends this special period of enlistment in the grout volunteen army of production and savings here at home. May there be none unenllsted on that day." SAUERKRAUT VINDICATED. It Is Of Dutch, And Not Of German Origin. Washington Sauerkraut may be eaten without disloyalty.

Ill FT URGED BY WILSON IN American Take Offensive on Wide Front. MARKS A NEW STAGE IN WAR Allies Delighted Two Americans Cap tured Give Germans Chance To Report American Prisoners. Washington. American troops in Picardy attacked on a front of one and a quarter miles, captured the village of Cantlgny, took 200 prisoners and Inflicted severe losses Jn killed and wounded on the enemy, says General Pershing's communique made nubile at the War Department. The Amer ican casualties were relatively small. The statement follows: "In Picardy our troops attacking on a front of one and one fourth miles advanced our lines and captured the village of Cantlgny. We took 200 prls oners and Inflicted on the enemy severe losses In killed and wounded. Our casualties we re relatively small. "Hostile counter-attacks broke down under our fire. "In Lorraine and In the Woevre artillery of both sides continued ac tive. Early in the day our aviators shot' down a hoetile machine." Two lone Americans gave the Ger mans an opportunity to mention the capture of "prisoners from American regiments" in the German official com munication. Cine of the Americans Is mlsslnc In Picardy and one In the Luneville sector. These nre the only men re ported missing. British Army In France. The Amer ican troops on the French front, near Montdldier, delivered an attack against the German positions, fought their way through nil objectives, including the village of Cantirny. and cantured H0 prisoners. The American attack was alone a two-kilometre front, and it seems to have taken the hard-hitting Ameri cans Jivt about three-miarters of an hour to complete their conquest, which included that amount of terri tory, as well ns the village of Can tlgny an exceptionally short time for such an operation. This remarkably fine showing comes as a fitting companion piece to the brilliant work done by the United States soldiers in repulsing nn enemy assault made against them in the same region. One American division was attacked at that time, and the gray coats met with a complete re versal nt all points. This attack was not a heavv one. however, and was easily dealt with by the Americans who had the situa tion well in hand at all times. Word of these two victories have added much to the very favorable im pression which the American troops already have created along the Brit ish front. It was a foregone con clusion that the Germans would make the newest of the Allies along this froht the object of an attack, in an attempt to push them back and there by create a feeling that they had formed a weak link In the defending chain. The general opinion of the wav in which these American trooDs have handled themselves In the last few days seems ' to be summed up in a comment made by a French liaison officer. "Mncnificent!" he exclaimed with delight. "That Is the sort of stuff we will give the Boche." MOTHERS' DAY LETTERS. 600,000 From American Soldiers Are Being Delivered. Washington.

Althom.'h few new types of gas offensive havp been developed the senators v.-ere told, the Germans are employing for mer types to much better advantage, using nine-Inch gas shells, to shell territory from seven to eight miles back of the Allied lines. This, it was explained, forced an extensive retirement. The French, it was .said, found their second line, eight miles to the rear, untenable. Present enemy successes and pros pective renewal of the offensive, the senators were Informed, emphasizes the necessity for urgent transporta tion of American forces ahroad. The schedule for shipment of men in Mav was exceeded, the senators were told. More than 200.000 Americans and these exceeding the usual ratio of fighting men, Which has beer 60 per cent. were sent.
