SATISFACTORY DAY SAYSWENCEAI) Advices Show on Whole Ger mans Suffered Check A SLIGHT CENTER GAIN London Praises Fine Resist ance Put Up by the French Forces WAS FULLY EXPECTED Was Thought German Attack Would Come Between Noyon and Montdidier, Thrust For Paris Paris, June 10. "It was a perfectly satisfactory day," said Premier Clem enceau, last night. In these ivords the French leader accurately summed up the prevailing impression. Latest advices from the battlefront. show that on tne wnoie the enemy clearly suffered a check on the day's operations. ine enemy gained a slight advantage In the center on a front of three and three-quarter milos about a fourth of the entire line of attack. On the wings he was stopped with such losses that five divisions have been put out of commission, or about one-third of the divisions Iden tified up to the present as having tak en part in the attack. This was done without the French reserves being called on. The Germans had to bring up their Iroops at the last moment in order to avoid giving alarm to the allies. As the columns arrived they were com pelled to deploy from the column of march into the line of attack. ThiB operation, which takes some hours, exposes the men to an unpleasant ar tillery fire unless the element of sur prise is preserved. The German attacking troops had to envelop the heights of Bocages and Riquebourg dominating the Matz val ley offered a splendid target to the French gunners. The enemy had to throw in division after division before he was able to drive his" way forward to Ressons-Sur-Matz and Mareuil along the Roye road, which was swept by French fire. Ressons-Sur-Matz is a central posl tion, from which the enemy can direct attacks southward to Estrees-St Denis or southeast to Compiegne. He is being strongly Counter attacked, however, and will only be able to de velop his advantage at heavy cost, if at all. Henry Bidou, military critic, says: "Let us be wary at the beginning of an important offensive of forming judgments, but without prejudicing the future It is difficult to be satisfied with the first day." The feeling which fairly represented the general sentiment exressed by L'Ocuvre in the caption, "This time we have not been 'surprised but per haps the boches will be." Splendid Resistance. London. June 10. The French troops appear to be putting up- Eplendid resistance to the Germans on the Noyon sector, especially on the two flanks of the attacking front where the heaviest fighting continues The Germans have maae some prog ress in the center, where -they claim the capture of the heights of Guary while the French admit the loss of the villages of Ressons-Sur-Matz and Marsuil. It was generally expected that the German attack would come betwem Noyon and Montdidier, thus seeming ly resuming the direct thrust for Paris. Simultaneously with t'is bombard ment on the Noyon sector the rBitish front was subjected to a heavy fire including gas shells, which seemed to herald another attack. According to latest accounts no infantry attempt delivered against the British lines. There is little news yet from the German side, as the Geiman officia statement issued Sunday afternoon re ferred only to the operations of Sat urday. Travelers' Protective Association St. Louis.

"How well the ambassador knew the character of his government and how perfectly frank he was. He ask ed for the information without apol ogy or indirection. The very blunt ness of his message shows he was sure his superiors would not tase offense at the assumption that their wore was valueless and had only been given to gain time, and that when an increase of Germany s submarine fleet warrant ed the promise that would be broken without hesitation or compunction. "In view of this spirit of hypocrlcy and bad faith manifesting an entire lack of conscience, we ought not to be astonished that the Berlin foreign office never permitted a promise or a treaty engagement to stand in the way of a course of action which the Ger man government deemed expedient.' "The causes of the wax," Mr. Lan sing said, "were simply the German desire for World dominion. "That was and is the central thought of Prussianism," he said. "It excited the cupidity of the governing and wealthy classes of the empire; it dazzled with its anticipated glories and by its promise of a boasted racial superiority the German millions who were to be instruments of achieve ment. With a devotion and zeal wor thy of a better cause, they turned their energy into those channels which would aid the ruling class. "We must go on with the war. There is no other way. This task m'ust not be left half done. We must not" transmit to posterity a legacy of blood and misery. We may in this great conflict go down into the valley of shadows because our foe Is pow erful and Inured to war. We must be prepared to meet disappointment and temporary reverse, but we must go forward until this war is won."

"MAGDA" AT THE GRAND. "Magda," the new select release in which Clara Kimball Young achieves a distinct triumph, is the story of a young girl unkindly thrust out into the world by an overbearing and dic tatorial iatner, now she works out her own salvation and In the end wins to peace and happiness. As an offering on the legitimate boards, Magda" ranks almost as a classic and the screen production in which Miss Young will be seen today and tomor row at tne urand theatre is a finished piece of picture art. well calculated to please the most captious critic. As an emotional role Magda pro vides the star with a powerful vehicle. The play is intensely dramatic, found ed on the strufiTffle of the dauehter to maintain her individuality in opposi tion to her father s wishes, and its in cidents move along smoothly to the big final scene when fate intervenes tor the harried girl. ANOTHER SHIP IS VICTIM OF U-BOAT (Continued from Page One.) pose looking to the ultimately decisive object of the whole campaign was of another kind. But after the first couple days of a success which must have been beyond their expetations they may well have hoped and they must still hope, to come near enough to the capital to bring Paris under the fire of their heavy guns. As they have not succeeded in this, they are likely to turn their next attention else where without by any means giving up the thought of renewing the threat to Paris at a later phase of those al ternating movements. "We must not think too exclusively of Paris or of Amiens or of the chan nel ports any more than of Rheims or Verdun. Alternation operations on any of these sectors may be equally serviceable to the final purpose of the Women Prepare! Thousands of women in the South have overcome their sufferings, and have been cured of woman's ills by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

TUNE German "plarErj Chess has of tten been compared wlt war, but It never of fered, a more exact and vital anology than "now. v The cajcSSifcn is the su preme play of all the German forces against all the allied forces." SLOW PROGRESS IS MADE BY BOCHES AT AN ENORMOUS COST (Continued from Page One.) ating north of Chateau Thierry re pulsed German attacks last night and made new progress. A German attempt to assault the British positions at Aveluy wood, north of Albert, was repulsed, while a British raid near Bethune, northwest of Lens, was successful. Whether the Germans are attack ing here in as great or greater strength than against the Chemin Des Dames on May 27 is not yet clear. If the tactical advantage gained by the advance on the Noyon-Rhetnf front is to be realized to the full, "the sal ient there must be widened toward the west The Germans failed before the forest of Villers-Cotterets. The Mont-didler-Noyon sector offered a favor able opportunity and the German com mand evidently lost no time In mass ing troops for the attack. The heavy preliminary bombardment of high ex plosive and gas shells covered not only the 22 miles under attack, but also the American sector west of Montdid ier and the British front north and south of the Somme directly east of Americans. However, no infantry at tacks yet have developed on these fronts. The enemy artillery fire af fected the allied line to a depth of six miles. On the Noyon-Rheims salient the only fighting has been some local Ger man attacks northwest of Chateau Thierry, which were checked by the American and French troops, and an unfruitful German effort west of Rheims. The Americans inflicted heavy losses on the enemy in his ef fort on the Chateau Thierry sector, Elsewhere on the American, French and British sectors, there has been no activity of moment. Increased artillery fire on the moun tain front in northern Italy is report ed. Infantry activity, however, has been confined to small local attacks. It is known that the Austro-Hunga-rian command has been making great preparations for an offensive but the) diow is neia in aDeyance. Royal NAT FERBER Presents The American Beauty Co.
