With the French Army in France, June 5. The enemy s entire pressure appears now to have been turned up on the western flank, where he is . makinar the ereatest of efforts to straighten out the bulge into his lines occasioned by the determined resist an tt thf allies The point of his most pronounced advance on the southern end of this bulge is Troesnes, northeast of La Ferte Milon, while the northern point of the bulge is at Moulin-Sous-Tou- vent. northwest of Soissons. Between these two points the Germans have brought forward much of their artu lery, and local operations, in which infantry and machine gunners are en ea&red. are almost incessant. North of the Aisne, as well as to the southward, every attempt of the Germans in the last few days to make further progress has been frus trated as soon as it was begun. The allies even have been able to lm- orove heir positions at some points. - This vas the case between Courcy and Longpont today. Here the op posing lines run along the edge of the forest of Villers-Cotterets, into which the Germans are trying to ob tain an entry. In the meanwhile the Germans have assaulted several times . unsuccessfully." : From this vicinity they have been bombarding LaFerte-Milon, but have ' been unable to break down the barrier of allied resistance and have been subjected to very heavy losses. ' C . Their object seems to be the envel opment of the allied troops occupying . the bulge, or forcing them to fall back. The allies, however, are holding , hrmly at both ends for the present, . despite their inferior numbers, and the German push appears to have reached an obstacle which the enemy finds difficult to overcome.
