THE WINDER NEWS, THURSDAY MAY 30, 1918.
WAR SUMMARY
(One thousand, three hundred and
ninety sixth day of the war; seventieth
day of the big offensive.)
AISN'E FRONT—Aided by fresh di
visions, the Germans last night con
tinued their advance on the wings of
the froty-mile Soissons-Rheims front,
but were held in the center, the French
war office stated today. Fierce fighting
is going on all along the front.
On the left, the French apparently
have withdrawn to the outskirts of
Soissons, about nine miles from the
original line.
On the right, the British have retired
about three miles, midway between
Rheims and the Aisne.
In the center, the French and Brit
ish apparently are holding the Germans
along the south bank of the Vesle, al
thought the Echo de Parsi declared to
day that at some points the Germans
have attained a maximum penetration
of 15 1-2 mlies.
The kaiser is on the Aisne front, at
a point south of the Laon, according to
a Berlin dispatch, received in Amster
dam. He sent a telegram to the em
press. telling about the part the crown
prince and Prince Eitel Freiderich
played in the German advance.
PICARDY FRONT—Following the
capture of Cantigny by American
troops with the taking of 182 prisoners,
two successive German counter attacks
were repulsed, the French war office re
ported today.
WEST FRONT, GENERAL —Allied
military officials declare the Rheims at
tack is part of the German general of
fensive scheme. Before the start of
the big offensive. March 21. the Ger
mans concentrated huge forces of re
serves at a point behind the allied line,
W’here they could strike equally well at
Amiens and Rheims. Checked in the
former attack, they are how striking
at Rheims. Enormous masses of Ger
man troops are still in the concentra
tion center and it is believed that the
Aisne assault may be a colossal feint, in
an effort to draw the allied reserves to
thut point. If this strategy succeeds,
allied officers believe the Germans will
again strike at Amiens. The Americans
around Montdidier and Hangard-on-
Sauterre would thus be at the apex of
the main enemy attack.
FLANDERS FRONT—The fighting
around Ypres has died down. Only
minor raids and artillery were men
tioned in Field Marshal Haig’s report
today.
LORRAINE FRONT —The heavy
German gas attack against the Ameri
cans in tlie Luueville sector Monday
morning was a complete failure. Amer
ican artillery destroyed the gas pro
jector layout, and infantry repulsed a
German patrol which tried to take
American prisoners.
American arimen brought down three
German biplanes and forced down two
others in the twenty-four hours ending
Tuesday night.
FRANCE—The long-range shelling
of Paris continued today, the Germans
employing anew type of shell.
VERDUN FRONT-—A German raid
was repulsed last night.
ENGLAND—A London dispatch said
the American army had taken over a
2,000-bed hospital in England, which
would be conducted by an American
staff throughout.
WASHINGTON —Seventeen German
submarine sailors —America’s second
group of this kind —have been taken
prisoner by an American destroyer, ac
cording to official to the navy depart
ment today.

est. The program arraged by the Flow

gether pleasing in that it was partici
