lng In any of the four major movements since March 21. American Seotors Quiet.

White the American infantry has been inactive on all sectors, American aviators on the Toul front havt been bombing towns behind the German lines. The first American bombing raid was against Dommary-Baron-court, northeast of Verdun, on Wednesday. This was followed Friday by anothef. Incursion, on which 79 bombs were dropped on Conflans, a railway junction midway between Metz and Verdun. On both occasions the Americans returned safely despite efforts of enemy airplaucs and anti-aircraft Suns.

Italian troops have checked successfully strong enemy attempts to force a passage through the important Tonale pass, northwest of Trent. Two attacks by Austrian infantry were broken up by the Italian defense and 130 prisoners captured. Tonale paw is just north of LaBusazsa, where the Italians recently gained a commanding height and Vermiglio valley passed through it. The remainder of the Italian front is quiet.

Battle Is Lost.

PARIS, June 16.—Despite A sllgttt advance

the

German offensive, com­

menced June 9, will prove to have been a heavy check to the enemy, Bays Henri Bidou, In

the

Journal Des De-

bats. Continuing, he says: "It Is evident that the enemy's objectives were undoubtedly Compiegne and the Villers Cotterets line in order to reach beyond the forest on the loft wing and obtain

a

base for future

operations against Paris. There is no doubt that the battle may be considered one lost by the enemy, the Germans having only the doubtful satisfaction of slight advance, in the center, for which precious divisions were sacrificed ruthlessly.

The check, however, is only momentary. We must expect the Germans to make other attempts, as they are in a great hurry to reach their goal, which, owing to decreased forces and shortening time, appears as far away as ever.

Real Men Wanted.

Recruits for tank service must pass a very rigid examination both as to their physical and mental qualifications. Only men of a very high type of efficiency are accepted. They are promised immediate assignment to a course of intensive instruction, followed by transfer to active duty in France. The development of tank fighting and the improvements of the American tanks, have combined to make this service as fascinating, for many, as aviation.

An evidence

The commanding officer of the unit was in the leading plane as observer, and it sped over the objective first, the commander releasing his bombs. At the same time he signalled to the other machines, which followed in a nearly straight line. Bursting bombs laid a perfect circle of smoke about the railway junction. The smoke obscured the buildings as the bombers turned southward toward the American lines.

German attacking planes met the Americans two miles from Dommary, and attempted to pick off those planes which were trailing, but the lively fire of the other machines forced the enemy to give up the attempt just as

Americans Excel Germans. LONDON, June 15.—American soldiers are more than a match for the Germans in the opinion of Reuter's correspondent, with the American forces in France, who has been with the Americans for the past month. Whenever the Germans meet the Americans, he says, the Germans have been beaten. "My impression," he adds, "is that the Germans will find in their new foes men more resembling our dominions' soldiers than the home-born Tommy. They are full of tenderness, as the German wounded already have had cause to know. But they will not have mercy on men who do not fight straight and will avenge comrades slain by treachery to the utmost platoon."

Remarking how quickly the Americans are learning by experience, the correspondent continues: "There is plainly much to
