CONCENf RATION FOE ON AMERICAN SECTOR.
h Hatter Where the Foe Strikes tha Ameri
cans are Bound to Pay Daariy.
With the American Forces on
the varne, June 30. Excessive
movements of .troops and mate
rials north of Chateau Thierry,
together with increased, artillery
and aerial activity, form the ba
sis of the belief that American
forces in this locality may be
c He'd upon to defend themselves
in the near future.
.-. . Lou streams o enemy troops
and wagon trains have been ob
served in the neighborhood of
the Bonnes wood. There has
been more than f0 enemy aerial
flights over the American line
northwest of Chateau" Thierry
in the last twenty-four . honrs
One German machine was shot
down by our anti air craft guns
The American artillery has
heavily shelled many vital and
active spots within the enemy
lines, once obtaining a direct hit
in a detachment- of marching
Germans
Por days the Americans have
been expecting that the enemv,
stung by tie defeat administered
to him recently on the from,
would make a vigorous assault
. upon the American forces, an.'i
it was partly for this reason thai
.the American operations in the
Belleau section were carried out
With these operations completed
the Americans now have the
country for several miles in 'front
of them-under their eyes and
uns and can see what is develop
ing. In consequence, when the
.ex-pec ted-blow cofcaes they will be
that much better prepared to
meet it.
The American troops have
made all preparations and the
Germans will get an exceeding
v warm reception if tBey try
what the situation today indi--catcs
they have in mind. ' The
Americans say that no matter
where the enemy strikes he is
bound lo pay dearly for his ef
fort and that bigger" the target
the better the American forces
will liko, it.
To the east of Chateau Thierry
along the river Marne, except
for constantly increasing long
range shelling on both sides com
pirative quiet reigns. There
has been no patrolling because
moonlight on the water prevents
a crossing, but the American
snipers have been so active in
the last four days that the Ger
