VAST OPEN BATTLE FOR PARIS LIKELY.
ALLIED COUNTER-STROKE MAY FALL ON MONTDIDIERCHATEAU THIERRY FRONT. (Received 11.35 a.m.) LONDON, June 2. The Germans during the night along the Marne made a rapid advance between Chateau Thierry and Chaudin. This is accepted in Paris and London as meaning that a vast open battle for Paris must soon be fought. „ It is indisputable that the Crown Prince led unceasing reinforcements in a paroxysm of effort and made a considerable advance to-day, making it a matter of only a few hours when a most critical battle with the Allied reserves will be fought, Paris commentators are grimly confident, and agree that the Allies will meet the offensive by an offensive similar to the battle of the Marne. The "Matin" anticipates that this will be on the Montdidicr-Conipicgne-Chatcau Thierry front.—(United Service.)
