FOE FREQUENTLY REBUFFED
(Received 9.25 p.m.)
LONDON, June 2
At 5i40 a.m. a French communique says: "Yesterday was marked by a series of powerful German attacks on the whole front between the Oise and the Marne. We only gave up certain points before still superior, forces, on whom heavy losses were inflicted. Between the Oise and the Aisne we carried back positions to the northern outskirts of Carlepont Weed, and on the. heights west of Andignicourt to Fontenoy. All enemy attempts west and south of Soissons to the north of Vierzy were futile. The battle further south is violent on both sides of the Ourcq. The enemy holds Chouy and Neuilly St. Font. We continue fighting on the line of Villers Helon-Nauroy-Triez Monthiers-Repilly.
"We hold Chatean Thierry.
"The situation north.of the Marne is unchanged."—A. an d N. Z. and
Reuter
