Germans Pay Awful Price Attacking in Mashed Formations
London via Ottawa June 11 French headquarters report the enemy drove 1 to 3 miles deeper into the Allied front near Marquois le, seven miles from his start, amid unprecedented fury. German masses were mowed down, waves broke on French counterattacks, and the ground housed German dead in heaps as 20 to 30 divisions were used. French artillery proved more effective with ground familiarity, as both sides pressed toward decisive battle. Negro troops with Entente tanks aided a counterattack near Estrees St Denis and Montdidier, recapturing forest southwest of Marquglise. Elenzo Dental Creme advertised at Guthrie's.
