LAST EDITION GERMANS STRIVING HARD 10 PUSH TOWARDS PARIS They Have Thrown 200,000 Men Into the Battle Balance in Favor of French Who Have Gained Ground In Counter-Attacks -- German Losses Great. . (Canadian Press Despatch.) London, June 11.--The Germans have thrown two hundred thousand men into the battle in the two days' fighting. The fiercest fighting of the war is raging as German masses come on in denser waves than ever before. The Germans have advanced in all about five miles, but at a terrible loss of men. They claim to have taken eight thousand prisoners in the last two days. 3 All advices from the battle front to-day show that the enemy is put. ting forth every possible effort in his design to push toward Paris, throwing division after division into the melting pot. So far he has succeeded, in two days of fighting, in carrying forward his line at a maximum point of ad- vance at Vignemont, a distance of six miles. In this he has been materially alded by a considerable number of tanks, which the French artillery was at first unable to demolish. The balance seems in favor of the French, If the danger to the French is in losing ground that is valuable as room in which to manoeuvre, the German peril lies in the human wastage that is in progress. : The German army as a whole has been engaged for the past three months with slight facilities for renewal. The resistance that is being offer- ed by the Frencn forces in this battle has not been surpassed for determin- ation during the whole war. : In a summary of Paris newspaper comment on the battle the Havas News Agency rofers to small progress made by the Germans yesterday in comparison with the price they had to pay. 3 a Paris, June 11.-----The German drive between Montdidier and Noyon con- tinued unremittingly last night, says to-day's official report.

(Canadian Press Despatch.) x Paris, June 11.--In summing up its comment on the mili- tary situation, Le Journal says: "The enemy's effort is a giganlic one, but it cannot last forever. He is now bringing into action about 190 divisions. The time is not far distant when all of these will have reached the dangerous state of exhaustion, and this at the same moment that the young and vigorous American army, impatient for ae- tion, will have been formed. Experience shows that an of- fensive is bound to play itself out in not more than three and a half months." ' Great Difficulties Now Confront Enemy. (Canadian Press Despatch.) With the French Army in France, June 11..--The difficul- ties confronting the enemy are very great in the nature of the country he has now entered on his new drive. The terrain com- prises 'sharp hills, deep valleys and thick woods. Where his most pronounced progress has been made, in the centre of the battlefield, the ground forms a sort of hollow through which runs the main road from Senlis to Roye and the Compiegne- Roye railroad. z BRITISH STEAMSHIP : SINKS A SUBMARINE Fired a Successful Shot at a . Distance of 150 Yards. (Canadian Pross Despatch) An Atlantic Port, June 11.--A German submarine was atacked and apparently sunk by a British steam- boat a week ago Sunday morning off a British port, according to pas- sengers on the vessel, which arriv- ed here to-day. A United States army officer who saw the single shot fired at the U-boat, which was only 150 yards away, expressed the opinion that a clean hit was made. Two destroyers which accompanied the 'British liner closed in after this one-sided combat and dropped depth charges at the spot where the sub- marine had disappeared. The Bri- tish vessel was met some distance from this port by a scout seaplane, which escorted her here. The liner carried 176 passengers. She is a vessel which several times has been subjected to unsuccessful torpedo attacks, and once was shelled by a U-boat. THE LATEST NEWS BREFY GEN Despatches That Come From Near An Distant Places.

London, June 11.--"According to Vienna newspapers received here," says the Central News correspondent at Amsterdam, "the Italians used a sea 'tank' during their last attack at Pola, Austria's naval base on the Adriatic.

There is an endless rot- ary chain around the vessel, fitted with barbs, which cuts nets and oth- er obstacles, like the land tanks.

A purely defensive battle, even well conducted, does not result in a vic- tory and a vindication. It is merely a game that must be begun over.

The Germans were able to capture neither Le Ployron nor Courcelles. The village of Mery was recaptured by the French at ten o'clock last night.
